Until Derek Smart, CIG would refuse refunds.

Jesus may have died for our sins, but it was Derek who blogged for our refunds.

Haha there's a guy in this thread who's one of those "Forbes lets anyone post on their site, it doesn't mean anything!" dudes.

Even the Forbes blogs go through the Forbes editorial process, and the same 2 or 3 freelancers have been writing for and getting paid by Forbes for years.

that's as may be, but I'm a fan of the forbes blogs are bad and poorly written meme, which is appropriate here because the blog was just a repost and also poorly written

Absolutely disgraceful that he is trying to assassinate her character (the author), which has nothing to do with the article with ad-hominem or the concerns that are at the heart of this issue. Everytime CIG speaks they fk themselves. They really need to consider hiring a public relations firm before putting out diatribe like that.

Its no wonder the whiteknights are so rabidly hateful when even the CEO sets a tone like this

The abridged response:


What the gently caress did he think would come of this bewildered trainwreck of a response. Rather than disprove the concerns that have been brought up, he deflects every allegation with questions of "who told you this" and "show me you have proof of this," all while attempting to discredit any critics. It's not a good way to inspire confidence.

No! He has to do this on his own! He can't just hire a competent PR person and actually PAY them to make sure he doesn't sink his own project, and drat you for making him do this when he could be working on the game!

I have tried to stay in one corner of social media while this shitstorm continues. I only wanted to post here so that you goons are aware of my official statement about all of this.

1) Nobody "doxed" Chris Roberts. It’s FALSE:

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snimul

2) He data mined our social media feeds and grabbed stuff out of context to attack myself, the researcher, and the author of the article.

This is the Harper issue he completely skewed.

3) This is how it came to this
