Holy poo poo, sometimes I don't know what makes me more sad those white knights buying 1000$ farms or those who think DS and glassdoor are valuable and reliable sources of information. Just copy and paste them all into word and search for similarities . An eye opener...

In line with the Top Level Actor Bench that is being used to compensate for Chris Roberts broken dreams to become a great Movie Producer and Director... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4156346/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast Shows that their Casting Director was/is Gail Stevens Over here at IMDB is her Profile, which might indicate that a lot of bucks might have been spent here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0828412/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr5 Besides a lot of trash, she casted for - Zero Dark Thirty - Slumdog Millionaire (She was Danny Boyle's ex wife - they divorced in 2002) - The Chronicles Of Narnia - Sunshine - Death at a Funeral - The Descent 1 + 2 - 28 days later - Trainspotting In other news, Tom Davies, Gameplay Programmer at CIG Austin, who was let go (or maybe decided to go) is now Gameplay Engineer at Oculus VR. sorla78 fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Karl_Ramseier posted:Or perhaps DS and his minions are making things up, just saying? I posited the very same thing was possible, and mused on how absurd it might be that Derek and Sandi (or proxies) might be engaged in an expanded social media sniping war via glassdoor. As if Twitter piss-and-moan fests aren't petty enough. EDITED AND EXPANDED: As A Neurotic Jew noted: quote:Derek Smart actually broke news about some of the most visible members of CIG being terminated or walking out the door, which later in the day turned out to be true. It's one of the major reasons star citizens fans are having breakdowns these days... I hate to break the news to you if you've decided Derek Smart is completely uncredible, but PEOPLE INSIDE OR CLOSE TO CIG ARE LEAKING HIM INTERNAL GOSSIP NEARLY IN REAL TIME. He is outSMARTing them, and CIG looks weak, defensive and suspicious in their fumbling responses. Why is this happening? Well, it seems rather obvious-- there is a perception by CIG insiders (and/or the recently terminated) that Sandi and Chris are both Toxic Leaders and represent huge threats to the success of the project. That actually is sounding more and more plausible by the day, and there is no end of specific circumstantial evidence of discontent. The irony of all of this is that NOBODY is deluded about Derek Smart as either a game developer, or a human being. He is epically, comically flawed-- like Chris and Sandi seem to be. The idea that CIG subordinates would have to resort to leaking tales from their toxic workplace to Smart of all people says a lot in itself about just how miserable things really might be. Unfortunately for Sandi and Chris, and in spite of his deficiencies, Derek has become far more credible as an authority on CIG's future than CIG's founders and managers.

You can be sure that he is tracking every linedIn page and whatnot to "predict" such layoffs and that he has at least one low level source. Has nothing to do that the most things he says are blatant lies. FTC, lawsuits, TOS (he is not even able to understand that a v1.1 TOS has a v1.0 TOS...) all bullshit and you can be sure that no ones beside the closest inner circle knows how much money they have left. Shouldn't be so easy to determine either with those many companies and subsidiaries they have. But hey he was right with some layoffs so lets just assume he knows everything even if we know that most of the info can't be true or is totally unrelated to the case.

Grim Dawn is taking a lot longer than initially planned, but is still actually being made and regularly updated, and it's loving great. Plus, I mean, Pillars of Eternity was an instant critical darling and is sitting at like 90 ish on Metacritic. I hear White March isn't as good, but then that wasn't what we gave KS support for.

I think I've been far too negative about the glory that is Star Citizen for too long, so for the next ten days I'm only going to post happy thoughts.* *Obviously if there's another Night of the Long Knives I'll backtrack on that pretty quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydaiTuHxXB0

Having at least one claim come true within a manner of hours makes him alot less shady than CIG on the whole. Seems to me that if CIG had the proof to shut Smart up they would have already, considering they very clearly read and react to the stuff he puts out. Why can't they be held accountable for the money they've sunk so far? Why is that such an unreasonable request?

If you just add the ingredients in the list to your shopping list you end up without grape leaves. Also: Battletech now cracked 1 million and therefore gets Single Player missions.

If this game wasn't an imploding joke and actually came out it'd be absolutely intolerable to new players to navigate all the backer rewards blocking out every star with their dumb forever monuments to poor impulse control.

LCL-Dead posted:Sandi finally replied to my refund request and I'm torn.. Rename your account before they refund you, there's one free name change. Then create a new account with the same name and a different email, that way it's easier for you to buy in again later once Multi crew and FPS come out in October (or so).

Derek Smart, a person whose only power is to post things on the internet, made them so afraid that they are now allowing refunds. If you paid money to back this game, getting a refund is a good idea. Hence, the current OP.

So after not really following this game at all since backing it in the original kickstarter, completely losing interest very early on, and sitting on an LTI Rear Admiral package with all the bells and whistles . . . is this finally a good time to sell?
