Windows Star Citizen

Pretty much because that's what you did with reference to Manchester.

 

...

EDIT: Since you possibly didn't read the other accounts or understand the point, why don't you have a look here at the y/e '20 a/c's and, since we're working on assumptions, let's assume the Wilmslow office is similar to the proposed Manchester one but at half-scale with its increased headcount (year-on-year) now at 432, then note the increased profit (which is after costs including wages) of +4.7m for the year, up from -30k the prior year, added to the existing 4m balance at bank, factor in the staff wages of 20m (included in final profit figure already) and extrapolate to get 40m for Manc, assume fairly that other income scales the same, then let me know what detail you're missing that precludes you feeling that there is a sustainable effort.

I'll start you off - there is no income in your guesstimate. Which I think you'll find is a key part of being sustainable.

And that's without including global/parent revenue/cost streams or non-existent investments (which isn't the way global corporations operate, but I'll give you that one).

Jesus. Now I'm done with this.

 

Bwah haha ahaha! Yes, Gareth. That’s right, Gareth. Editing behind your back in sinister fashion.

I knew you'd come back with some childish crap that neatly sidesteps the fact that you're just wrong. Happens eeeeeevery time you get challenged.

And that insidious Edit button, eh? No-one ever uses it to correct anything, do they? Sorry to have to say, but it was nothing sinister, more’s the pity. I actually removed a sarcastic comment and replaced it with something more constructive, having the decency to add the “…” and ”EDIT” to show I’d done so, rather than just replacing the whole comment and glancing sideways furtively. Not like you've ever used the button, even a few posts ago, is it?

/cue Gareth trawling the audit files/email alerts to prove another needless point

Clangalangalang! Oh no – you buzzed too early! And picking on individual words again like “no”…oh dear! Let me clarify for you – “there is no realistic detailed breakdown or assessment of income in your guesstimate” - since most other people actually got that first time around.

But it’s not "everything" though, is it? It's not the total, is it? As the accounts show!

Erm…that would still be you, unforts. Try and have a little read of those accounts first - if you need them explained then I’m more than happy to help. I notice you haven’t done any further research yourself - it can get complicated looking at those profit figures, I do understand.

Regarding ignore lists, I thought (optimistically) that you might have realised how obnoxious you were and reset yourself because of that fact, maybe trying to start anew, life being too short and all that but now I see that sadly wasn’t the case.

Remember that guy who used to have a dig at Linux that you had a thing for some years back? Remember the recent pedantic thing about Google and garages that you just HAD to correct? Remember the vaccine stuff? Remember how you’ve had to argue and argue over the most hairsplitting things until you’re blue in almost every other thread you’ve been on?

I now see that this isn’t about the sustainability of Star Citizen or its model; it’s about you being unable to ever be wrong.

Think of this as my farewell to you for now, but please, please add me back to your ignore list. It will save you going through this again. I won’t be adding you to mine in case I miss an opportunity to see you go through it elsewhere.

Maybe one day we’ll both get over you, but sadly, I currently have zero interest in engaging further with you (certainly not in constructive debate) and there’s no way I’ll be trying to make you see another side to anything.

Your burning pathological need to always be the only person in the room that’s right pretty much precludes those possibilities. Also not the first time this has been pointed out on here, I might add.

As a parting gift though, here's something for you to try - try seeing other peoples' posts in the semi-serious light in which they’re intended, without feeling the need to add made-up incomplete figures or arguments every time. Try and just enjoy the community like everyone else, without trying to own it. Be a bit humble. Learn the words "Oh, I'm sorry - I misunderstood. I see what you mean now." You'll go further, without looking like you’re trying to be the epitome of self-righteousness.

Thanks for the chat though – be good and Merry Christmas!

 

Tthat office has burnt through nearly £100 million since 2015! Thats insane!

Edit: I have time on my hands, so I did the maths, that office has gone through £102 million from 2015 to 2020!! That is utterly insane.

 

Jesus. Even my missus would struggle to keep up with that.

She did produce an essay the other day though - does that put her in front of CIG, delivery-wise?

 

Depends, is it really boring and ocasionally catches fire? If not, way ahead!
