A friend of mine is an indie dev dude, just chipping away at making a space type game. I gave him the low down on SC and he's laughing all the way through, when I told him (and showed him) that people were buying 'limited edition' jpegs for $hundreds he is roaring laughing, finally when I tell him people are 'melting down' these jpegs to then be able to afford more limited edition jpegs he totally lost it and was crying laughing right in front of me, it was awesome

I guess that's how you have to finance your living expanses these days? Cant be from LOD or your previous "hits" and certainly cant be from all the poo poo you throw around while under the protection of your internet connection. Word-warrior. loving word-ninja even. Paps said you are running on thin ice btw.

Frankly I find the allegations of pubism the most disturbing. I bet there won't even be an option to customize your character's body hair in the game.

pftc posted:I got another thing. I'm more inclined to believe a third scenario-- "We don't care about the quality of backer customer experience -- but if we're going to bother with this, we're using the absolute cheapest option available so we can pocket more cash." (And who knows- maybe they own a stake in that sweatshop that loses their stuff frequently.) I assume Sandi knows better -- because other gaming companies like Bethesda make a princely sum on merch while shipping inside the US. Sure, they might manufacture the sweet figurines in Asia or Mexico, but they consolidate them at a domestic shipper and get that crap to us FAST. The fact that CIG can't do this right - despite Sandi's supposed education - tells you that either they are incredibly ignorant about something entirely obvious, or they have unstated motives for using a subpar solution, despite the obvious fact that it sucks for most CiG backers AND cig support employees- most people except for Sandi and her friends in China.

G0RF posted:Sandi and the CIG team talk out of three sides of their mouths on this. In one episode they say they're not even trying to make money on the merch because it's just for the fans and if they break even it's great. In another, they say China is the only way to do it profitably. Ordered a 4xL polo shirt when it was available in 2013 and to this date still have not received said purchased Item.

Agrajag posted:are there any other game devs that have their main offices in LA? from what i hear LA is rather expensive. I don't know about "main" but there's an EA studio there and I'm pretty sure at least some others that I don't know offhand (E3 is in LA and there are locals). LA isn't the most expensive place in the world either, at least some parts. Cheaper than SF and NYC anyways. Santa Monica OTOH is not just "LA", it's ritzy LA.

Bootcha posted:Unfortunately while the press doesn't follow this thread, it bears repeating/quoting: I almost made a comment to that effect (private CIG investor is satisfied allegations are true) in a Reddit thread, but then I figured it'd be better just to wait. Sounds like it's a poorly kept secret and sooner or later we're going to get more proof. You know more than we do-- and are obviously displeased. Hope you get your money out soon and get to wash your hands of them (and that you make more videos.)
