They are asking for it because one of the things they will need to prove in court for libel damages is that their business profits suffered in some way due to the article. They want you to say it is because of the Escapist or Smart because it gives them more ammo.

Just link them to Roberts' incoherent gamergate rant when they ask you what articles might have affected your decision.

Discolando explains why CIG cannot disclose financials: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/5691637/#Comment_5691637 1) Imagine you live a responsible fiscal life (whatever that means, it's kinda part of the problem here.) 2) Now imagine your parents saw your bank records, your grandparents, your significant other, their parents and grandparents... 3) Would they all have the same opinion of how you spent your money? Would any of them NOT have a single criticism of how you spent your money? They care about you, so they will always find someway in their minds for you to improve on how you're doing things. 4) Which one of them would be right? You, who are spending the money for you, or them, people who care about you and only want what's best for you, but don't live your life and know your requirements? 5) Ask 200 people what responsible fiscal spending is, and get 300+ answers. 6) Now imagine you do this with nearly ONE MILLION parents who care about you. And the press.

It also slows the whole process down and it's only 6 days to Citizen Con when you'll totally change your mind about even wanting a refund.

RuckusRouser posted:OK, we have reached a point where I do not know what is real anymore. I thought at first this was (a) something a redditor/forum-goer had created as a "we should do this". Then I thought it was (b) something one of you guys created as a joke of "those crazies might actually pay for this". Now I am led to believe that (c) they are actually selling a skin with that title and with no concept art. They created this and several other skins after the original Kickstarter campaign because during transition of stuff between Kickstarter and their account system, lots of people ended up with $5 in RSI credit, but there was nothing in the system that cost $5, so people asked for something to spend the credit on and CIG made these.

So CIG is officially on record as saying they can't disclose how they are spending the money because they might not be spending the money in ways the backers would approve of.

Tell them you were secretly in love with Sandi as you thought she was available and a kind and humble person with great social skills and you just can't handle the lies anymore. Or just simply add the suicide pic from the op.

You see financial responsibility is like a pizza. Ask 20 people what their favorite pizza is and you'll get 30 different answers! It's crazy!

Yikes guys. No studio or publisher is ever going to release financials on a big project. Yes, even a crowdsourced one. Edit: That CM was silly for even trying to answer the question with anything other than a flat "no".

Well - shows that CIG doesn't seem to have a good PR guy looking out for them. Otherwise someone would have told those employees to sit tight and shut the gently caress up about anything that relates to their current drama, guess Sandi doesn't like big hairy balls other than hers in that company.
