Roflan posted:I would love to effort post about the psychology of suicide but probably shouldn't. All I'll say is that if someone is in the position where they might commit suicide over the failure of a game then they were suicidal before their attachment to the game and were using it as a means to ignore the true source of their pain. The failure might not be the root cause of suicide, but sadly could serve as the final nail... I know someone (a friend of a friend) who did try to kill himself, and that guy had a sudden change of heart as he was bleeding out. Luckily an amublance arrived fast enough (he called them himself). The actual event that pushed him to do it was neglible to any normal person. Some of those people went with trash food for months to put more money in, or risked/some lost their significant other. If those are already close to suicide. It failing could push someone over. I hope it doesn't happen.

shrach posted:Erin has 70% of the shares. Chris has 15%. This company has presumably taken backer money via the other Roberts companies though and there is a very curious charge of a deposit from NatWest bank with Foundry 42 Ltd. It appears that the company put aside company money in a company bank account and agreed not to touch it. This has served as a deposit for further borrowing. This isn't a typical way you borrow money. Well that's interesting. Is there any way to substantiate this further or is this as much as we're going to get?

Generation Internet posted:From the Forbes post: Basically a cartoon villain is exploiting man-children by tempting them to buy things that don't exist and will never exist. Man-children then fork over literal thousands of dollars for the pleasure of things that don't exist. These things that continue to not exist are coming to fruition. Fruition in this case is non-existence. Now with their promises dashed people are finally starting to freak out because of the non-existence of their non-existent space craft. Forbes wrote an article basically saying the pyramid scheme is starting to totter.

It turns out that when you lie to people for two years while still taking their money, it causes one of two reactions. Either you become cynical, or you become even more committed to the illusion of progress and attack anyone who dares to threaten that fragile mental construct.

With every coming week as more assets are bought into the game and the technologies become more and more refined we can all see the vision that CIG is working towards becoming reality, it really is a beautiful thing to behold. for year to come

I mean, right now it's just The Escapist's word versus RSI's right? It's fun to watch but seems tricky to take sides at the moment. Other than jesus christ everyone is an idiot.

Positive employee testimonials: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3n59ft/working_at_cig_from_a_cig_employee/ https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/5678014/#Comment_5678014 https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/287242/a-cig-employee-s-thoughts/p1 The dissonance is pretty heavy- it's obvious one group is lying. The question is, which one? On the one hand, recently fired employees might be disgruntled. On the other, currently employed people probably want to keep their jobs.

Dohaeris posted:I mean, right now it's just The Escapist's word versus RSI's right? It's fun to watch but seems tricky to take sides at the moment. You'd figure that if the many, many allegations against CIG were false that they'd just put up some evidence supporting them, though. The financial problems for instance - if their budget really isn't down to $8 million and they're really not spending money on personal expenses, why not post some reports to shut Smart up? They could've done that months ago and put a huge damper on their critics that way, but they've let it fester. Same with the management complaints; after all this, only one guy feels willing to (sorta) stick up for the company on Reddit, after at least a dozen people have been outright fired. This is a company that's taken in over $90 million, you'd figure they could put up a quarterly report or an actual press response that's not a crazed rant from the CEO.

I guess that's missing is a current employee with confidentiality protected but validated by a trusted source saying it's all going to poo poo. Of course, the letter from that character artist was really telling since it was meant to be internal.

Sandi must be going on another: "Who's the fucker that snitched?!" spree. And if we see even more firings from this week, man oh man...it'll be hard for them to just keep up their: "It's just restructuring! All game companies do this!" rhetoric.
