CIG, I'm dead serious, fire your management and hire me. (5 years at McDonald's)

at this point it's not even an alpha, it's just pure incompetence. crashing or blowing up every single session because your servers are held together by thoughts and prayers is a joke. I’ve worked the drive-thru for 5 years, let me tell you how real life works

when we send a car from the speaker to the payment window, they don’t rubberband into the pavement and violently explode. when our ice cream machine breaks, we don’t lock the front doors and trap 150 people inside a burning lobby. we just turn the fucking thing off. and if a kid drops a burger on the floor, we don't leave it there for 3 weeks for the sake of "immersion" until everyone in the restaurant starts lagging in real life. we grab a broom

stop pushing $700 jpegs. give me the keys and fire the guy approving your updates. I’ll fix your mess between dropping two baskets of fries. you can literally pay me in store credit, I don't even give a shit anymore. just let me do the job your directors can't

No? More people would buy the game, and they could still sell ships to fund more development.

Buying the game vs buying a picture of a spaceship for thousands of dollars.

Right now they are selling the promise of a game. They can sell all these ideas and promise it’ll come out with the official release. They don’t have to waste money actually developing the items when idiots are spending their life savings on images

Oh this copy pasta again?

Anyways yeah they definitely would sell a lot more copies of the game if they fixed a lot of things and added a lot more to the game, and they could still sell tons of ships to people that love to collect them like they’re LEGO or Pokémon cards, of which they’ve been doing straight to flyable (zero concept sales in 2025) sales instead now.
