Karl_Ramseier posted:Serious answer: This is a serious response. If you're looking for evidence that things are hosed then it's right in front of you. The two biggest issues that have happened just this month are Robert's meltdown and also the fact that people are getting refunds from a movie company instead of CIG. The Escapist article doesn't add much to the story but Robert's verbal diarrhoea should be a story in and of itself. How many CEOs of multimillion dollar companies do you know would spend 8 hours crafting an angry email in response to a negative press article? If CIG was a listed company the stock price would have taken a huge hit since most investors expect a $92+M company to be run professionally. Having the CEO write 15 pages of batshit crazy and then have their lawyer write an angry letter threatening to sue (all while in the public eye) is the opposite of professionalism and says all you need to know about how management is being run and gives a lot of underlying support to all the rumours floating around. Would you invest your money in a company if the owner was more interested responding to internet trolls and bad press instead of actually making a product and making money off that product? The fact that the Escapist are standing by their article shows that their lawyers have sat down, looked at all the information and sources they used and determined that everything is above board and they'd have an incredibly high chance of winning any potential law suit. They would have settled or issued a retraction if it wasn't the case since nobody wants to go to court. The other big issue is that some of the refunds aren't coming from CIG. There was a post some pages back where the guy's refund got split between paypal and a credit card with CIG and another company providing the refund. This is a huge red flag that something is wrong with the financials. If CIG can't even afford to refund small amounts of money then that raises serious issues about problems with cash flow and going concern. Either the majority of backer's money has been transferred to a company completely unrelated to the game (and out of the reach of the backers) or CIG is so cash strapped that other companies have had to step in to make sure they don't breach their various ratios for their line of credit. Either way it should be a warning to anyone who still has money in the game. In all seriousness, go get a refund and spend it on something more useful from other games to giving it to a medical charity and saving lives. All it takes is one email and if the game ever does pick it up, you can always easily buy back in. The whole funding model is based on selling more ships and now that they're still selling all the 'limited edition' ships that they said they wouldn't sell, it's not like you're going to miss out on any particular item.

At the rate they are developing the guy who is comfortable with 2020 will get his wish anyway. No he won't because they will run dry of money long before that . They are already closing a whole studio down to save money.

If you google "star citizen release date" it comes back with "2017". I'm pretty sure I don't remember that in the kickstarter...

If 200 million was spent on the steaming pile of excrement that is destiny that was a pretty good money laundering scheme. That original figure was 500 million dollars. I didn't include the ludicrous marketing cost that they budgeted. It was estimated that the dev cost was around 200 million which makes sense if you know how big their dev team is and how many years they worked on it.

I said come in! posted:The original release date was like 2014. Yeah, and it still says that on the archives kickstarter page too. And we've now got the "sometime in 2016" thing for the S42 as well (assuming they survive that long). What happens around the time of their "anniversary sale" (for the game that doesn't exist yet) is going to be interesting as all hell.
