Thanks I couldn't think of any and I've only really bought DayZ and it didn't exactly turn out. Those are all really good examples and I didn't know they were crowdfunded.

All of this dropping right before CitCon is magical. I'll be curious how much of this controversy is the elephant in the room or if Roberts & Co. double-down and try to assuage the crowd ("Look at all these happy employees! Look at this in-game footage! How can this be a con when we can do this!" etc.)If they don't address it at all or only with a token comment or two, I think that only proves their guilt. People often over-function to hide obvious flaws and despite their "working harder," all they end up doing is spin their wheels. While there will never be proof enough to discourage the faithful, I'm curious what, if anything, Roberts could show on Saturday to change the minds of those here toward optimism for the project. I believe the burden of proof is astronomically high but what would you have to see to say to yourself, "Holy poo poo, maybe there is a game here"?

There was also Wasteland 2 and Elite Dangerous, which some people liked others didn't but its w/e they came out and were pretty much what people wanted and didn't cost the same amount of money it took India to launch a rocket into space. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/18/business/international/from-india-proof-that-a-trip-to-mars-doesnt-have-to-break-the-bank.html?_r=0

Shala posted:It has parallels. Just listen to people who got swindled in Ponzi schemes talk though, especially about how they acted and talked around the collapse of the scheme. They sound literally like a lot of these guys right now. I watch a lot of American Greed, and no poo poo half of the people on there sound like the faithful SC backers. It's not just ponzi schemes either, a lot of populist political figures prey on the same type of behavior. Eric Hoffer's the True Believer offers a lot of insight into this, it's ultimately because selling hopes and dreams of a world which is going to be unrealistically Utopian sounds better to people who sees little worth in their own life than somebody who offers a realistic improvement over what they have. And once they bought the dream, they are going to defend it to the death, sometimes literally.

And they will, even if in sympathy and inadvertently rubbing salt upon his wounds. But still plenty of time for that later, I suppose.

Do you guys want to harvest a lot of tears in a real game, soon? Like, with goons who already know the game and want to teach you and want to help everyone harvest the maximal amount of tears? Join us for Albion. The combat isn't amazing, but the community is hilariously thin skinned and we have had a lot of fun so far.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuzC5GKpEIc Thread here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3727351 Beta starts in November, runs through till launch.

G0RF posted:It was alleged that their collective salaries were over a million. How the source leaking this info would know that is unclear-- unless one of the leakers in CIG accounting (or Sandi or Chris openly talk about their salaries, which seems pretty hard to imagine...) It doesn't matter anyway. The cultists will justify it by saying Christ Roberts is the gaming wunderkind and deserves whatever pay he sees fit for his holyness and we should all be licking his boots for he bestows unto us gods gift to gamers.

If you count "released by the delivery date given during the kickstarter" as part of the promises, probably none of them. They all miss the schedule / are over-optimistic about how quickly they can knock something out. If you give a ~1 year grace period on being finished, there are tons that delivered on all the promised features.Unfunny Poster posted:There was also Wasteland 2 and Elite Dangerous, which some people liked others didn't but its w/e they came out and were pretty much what people wanted and didn't cost the same amount of money it took India to launch a rocket into space. Broken Age / Doublefine Adventure lived up to the promises made on the kickstarter (which were super modest). Some people were disappointed with the major schedule slip and the ending but it was a complete adventure game. In the same vein, Planetary Annihilation technically did everything it promised but wasn't as good as people were hoping for. The Banner Saga, Shovel Knight, Risk of Rain, Octodad 2, and Divinity Original Sin were all kickstarters and are all good.

G0RF posted:Read through my recent posts-- there's a transcript of her description of their fateful meeting. It is very strange but partly because she doesn't want to acknowledge that they got married. I don't want to go back and listen, but I think she told that story when she came on my show back in what I like to call "the day."

the reddit faithful are getting a little shakey https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3nn26d/sigh_escapist_are_not_backing_down_and_intend_to/?sort=old&limit=500 quote:
quote:(Honestly) If I wasn't a backer I would probably be laughing at all the people I though got suckered into SC. Honestly CIG will never be able to prove to everyone that these allegations are completely false unless they win a libel case against the Escapist, which I doubt can be done. quote:I think they get to decide what's a news story... and they'll have something new. Threatening the press rarely works out unless you're very very wealthy or very very brutal or both. This was a tactical mistake and these folks are gonna double down because they smell blood in the water. Interesting because I haven't seen a single post like this not get immediately downvoted into oblivion or ignored, whereas people are actually discussing it now and theres like 2-5% of people who are concerned at the allegations rather than 0.
