I recall buying a six pack of PLEX after seeing a SC update. It was nice to just have a working game to support. I haven't supported SC.

Yes just like the complications with WiS. Of course that was doomed to failure from the get-go seeing how even continued development of it effected WoD with just purely the bipedal play. It's just not something technically achievable in a good way, either bipedal or spaceships are going to suffer, can't have both in the same game client, not to full potential.
Almost makes one wonder if SC Online'ish was just a huge scam, I mean how could seasoned developers have not known with so many examples of failure and/or limited results? In the end though, it's just damages the genre. Belittle every other existing game for so long with the hype machine while they grab cash. Not delivering on the promises. Then leaving players who interested for years in the mmo space-sim genre just discouraged and bitter now looking for some other genre to pursue as they give up on space of which they are all still convinced by the past hype is all just worthless and boring. Dude. The reason WiS affected WoD is because devs were pulled from WoD to make WiS. White Wolf was cannibalized. WiS and the SC fps module are avatar experiences, and they're both in video games, but the management of the two are hardly relevant beyond that.
There were some good points in the article, like the suitability of the game engine to the gameplay. Cryengine seems odd, but only because SC's goals are lofty--they want the 3D models to take damage based on where they're hit. That isn't so alarming to me.
One reason I believe... believed SC can be successful is the quality of the developers. When you get talented people together, the rate of progress over a team of checkbox degree holders is immense. I haven't heard about the types of management problems that can cause those types of team compositions to fail.
Except for the stretch goal promises thing.
They have a lot of work ahead of them, but the $150M figure for a typical studio isn't automatically damning. That could be for a shipped game, with pre-existing staff, with conventional investor funding. I'm willing to believe the devs working on SC can manage to release playable portions of a game with their budget.
I want to say the prediction that the game will not be made is a bit much. Derek Smart might not be able to comprehend it, but that could just mean he's not the caliber of individual like those working on SC. Talent, creativity, and problem solving are very real skills that are not conferred with degrees. Or experience.

Yeah. The thesis of the article should have been about caution in committing to too much at once.

If I wanted to **** the next several years of my life, I would work on a spase game.
You know what's really dumb, that vampire game that named itself something related to WoD. You could start a new vampire IP and CCP would have no claim on it based on what was developed.
The name was out of spite and it was too easy to make a C&D stick.

It's pretty entertaining to see unimaginative iterations on the UI.

Ugh. I hate having to read people's piles of words in search of their intended meaning or a solid statement.

The first half is still speculation, about why he left. The second half was one of the things I like to see--locations of studios that say they mean it. Los Angeles, Austin. And Frankfurt for good reason.

Clearly, the solution is for SC to reach that 150M figure Derek thinks it will cost to finish. More stretch goals amirite
