Don't you have fun? I did, they didn't get $50 out of me.

Nate's next job must be in a socialist context, meaning he must have a political commissar keeping an eye on him all the time. Bah, we all know he wasn't the ONLY one, but I suspect he knew in March that it was going to happen on May 1st, and I don't know if about six months before. Those things cook slowly and there are always signs to spare.

Does anyone in their right mind really believe that T2 is going to put money into advancing the KSP2 fiasco when it still has to deal with the layoffs, rents and unpaid bills of the guys who managed the project poorly? SERIOUSLY?

Comunication....

Disney?

Nate Simpson's future after he returns from Tahiti:

Nate Simpson was an end-to-end fiasco. If he loved the KSP so much, why did he decide to include the wobbly rockets? ( Shadowzone video 13:50 ) Didn't he taste the product for which he was responsible, which he said he spent hours playing? His delirium is visualized by maintaining so much secrecy, lest someone question the disaster he was carrying out, and that this was an end user, he could not silence him and expel him. Unless his name was Scott Manley, for example. I wish I had seen the explanations for the poor quality of Early Access, obfuscating with those who questioned the crap that had come out. Barely a few weeks have passed and we are already beginning to see the questioning of his leadership, without naming names. I don't want to imagine what will be said when everyone cashes their paycheck after June and the relationship with the studio is definitively severed. In 2021 I argued that it was a Bernard Madoff-style scam, well, I was wrong. Dennis Muilenburg was in charge.

Every time I read about Nate Simpson I imagine him like this: "From the ass of the world"

Silent Hunter III Silent Hunter IV Wolves of the Pacific ( aka: Bugs of the Pacific ) Silent Hunter V Battle of the Atlantic ( aka: What's F....!? ) Der Untergang

They have, which does not mean that they are continuing the development of KSP2. And if the project continues, the worst thing that could happen from a community credibility standpoint, is that Nate continues to participate in the project in some way.

Does anyone know COBOL? I met a developer who wrote code based on a poem.

So is their failure because of decision-making, mediocre hiring, and deficit management? Why did he commit to a mega-project, right? He must have agreed to leave people like Manley, among others, out of consultation. He accepted, at least, the compartmentalization of work, didn't he? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? Replay: Video ( 15:40 ) Nate took the decisions and imposed them on the rest of the developers over the recommendations. In the video (12:30) it is made clear that the decisions were made by Nate. What I will accept is that he is not the only one responsible, since he did not assume the position by a divine lightning, someone appointed him in charge believing that he knew something. Glu, glu!

Surely you must be friends with the guy, but the truth is out there. He was told he had two years and ten million dollars and came up with a proposal that involved a mega-development of years and with a different budget. He made the decisions, he should sink tied to the helm and assume the disaster he caused by leaving so many people out of work because of their poor performance. Video: 04:30

By action or inaction. In the legislation, he is considered a "Necessary Participant". In the video (12:30) it is made clear that the decisions were made by Nate. ( first fact that there are already leaks and is being talked about ) Nate was responsible for including the "Spaghetti Rocket" ( 14:00 ) Very clearly, it is said in the video that "he meddled too much and was responsible for many of the decisions that were made in the development." Oh, beauty! Video ( 15:40 ) Nate took the decisions and imposed them on the rest of the developers over the recommendations.

Yep. The issue is who put the monkey in charge of doing whatever they wanted. If you don't have the slightest idea what the product is about or how it works... How can you feel qualified to hire people to develop it? I still think that the difference between an engineer and an "artist" is that the engineer puts his prestige and future at stake and the "artist" only lives on dreams.

Self-esteem issues. It's not a development in which you have competence. Secrecy was kept to avoid showing how poorly the project was being carried out. Anyway, I keep insisting, it's not just the monkey that's to blame, someone put him in the cockpit. "Ham" was not going to do anything but babble and push buttons.

Recently someone contradicted me when I said that they didn't have engineers and that they didn't prioritize code and did prioritize advertising and marketing. Well, I was right. Things that happen when you put someone at the helm who, even with good intentions, doesn't have the slightest idea of what it is to manage and even less of what the product was about. The secret was the palpable evidence of his own professional and mental limitations, lest anyone knew him well and realized the degree of professional ineptitude he professed. Also the one who put up the money for the development has responsibility: did he ever ask for the credentials of the person he put in charge of the project? On the one hand, rest assured, it would seem that it was not a Pyramid Scam per se. Would that save them "the shirt" (as we say in my country) if they put money in? NOP! Since they failed due to missed deadlines, the problem became evident, and now, with the passage of time, what some of us perceive (added to unofficial information) has happened. It's a shame, it could have been an excellent product. But to consider continuing it now means assuming losses of perhaps $70 million, to which would have to be added perhaps another $30 million to continue with the KSP1 code and polish it of errors, about five more years. Too much money. THE END.

Worry no more, the truth is emerging! What I said in 2021 has come true! Homer was in charge of everything!

The title of the post is wrong! He should say, "O Jebus! We've been sold the Monorail!"

Exactly, you only certify what I maintain. If you failed, you had to physically bury the failure with all the corpses that participated in the failure and declare bankruptcy. The industry with a CD had to secure recording material, the recorder, the printers, the ink, the logistics, the packaging and the distribution. A lot of money invested to make a mess. All of that is behind us. Now it's easier to hire a page that makes the sales, fill a virtual space in less than an hour, offer an "Early Access" at just $50 and capture that money. Before the reviews come out and the shoppers start howling, you find yourself on a beach in Taithi sipping a daikiri. "Early Access" in a crap? Wow, they already gave me the money, I sold what I could, I have no losses from unrealized sales of physical products, I don't have to bury anything and everyone is happy... in the Corporation. They would have read the fine print of the contract when they bought it, especially the one that says that "Early Access" doesn't mean that the game will ever be finished or that there will be any maintenance. Does that imply that you no longer "charge the inks" to Nate Simpson? It's like that! He was hired as a showman to do what he did and was paid well. You should get out of the jar where you live from time to time. The KSP2 study fiasco isn't the only one.

Does it bother you really? I am sorry. It's the technical answer you should have been hoping for. If you don't want to know the truth, don't ask. No one realized that the gravitation algorithm that rotates the celestial body affected the objects perched on it, and there you have the problem. Poorly detected in KSP1 and lines of code copied in KSP2. Anyway, everything is sterile. It's never going to be solved, that's for sure. The truth is out there, I'm sorry if they don't tell you.

Bah, video games were ruined the day they came out from a page instead of on a CD. It's easier to pack junk and sell it quickly with a click than it is to try to pass it off at an actual brick-and-mortar store. Imagine "Early Access" and shelves filled with the KSP2 fiasco filling up CD cases that no one will ever buy. Today's world makes it easy to deceive.
