Clearly, because he so identifies as a hostage of CIG that he resents Beer's attempts to liberate him...

This whole Beer thing is sad. Beer is probably one of Robert's biggest marks. Thanks to the power of "open development" Beer thinks he's chummy with the crew so even though he makes a first post about getting refunds, he feels it's traitorous to do get a refund himself out of the mock allegiance built into the crowdfunding game. Remember, Beer sends the developers gifts. And money. He thinks they're friends.

On the plus side, Beer actually criticizes elements of hte game, which is the right thing to do as a backer, but oddly Roberts and crew cant stand Beer's openmindedness but can't ban him because he pays so they have to probate him until the heat death of the internet. Which is sadly punishment for Beer, not having access to his "friend circle". They just did you a favor.

So, Beer, did you get a full refund yet? Or still waiting, "because you know these guys"? How pathetic would that be. LOL

I'm guessing it's because you namedropped the ship, but it's still hilarious to me that that's all it takes.

Dude it's pretty obvious that the order has come down from on high to cut you out. You are persona-non-grata at CIG now. Don't let it get you down, it's not the kind of company you want to keep.
