D_Smart posted:2) The Nov date had nothing to do with a lawsuit. Ok, I get that sending letters back and forth is part of a legal process that is followed before there's actually something filed in court. I understand if you don't want to answer as this is in public but if CIG don't comply with your three requests, when roughly do you expect this to reach the "lawsuit" stage? Edit, I just think some warning would be nice so I can book the day off to watch the reaction. AP fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Nov 1, 2015 |

I gotta ask, since I can't picture ever having that kind of money to spend on something like this - Why is arguing with a failing computer company worth spending 100,000 dollars?

I had a thought: If CIG does get something out the door, and somehow it technically satisfies all the promises despite being a turd, even then Chris-R isn't out of the woods, because of the VCs like Bootcha. If CIG releases something and claims to be done, then all the $94M is now realized revenue, and they would have to start paying the VCs their share of all of that amount. I have a feeling that they haven't been setting money aside to satisfy the VCs.

You know, there is a game featuring multiple flight modes, ship boarding and capturing, the ability to command fleets, land on (and subjugate) planets. It was called motherfucking Escape Velocity Nova and it came out in 2002. For Mac.

Really this whole thing pisses me the gently caress off. if you are going to take $93mil of nerd cash and squander it, at least buy a loving kuratas or two. If he bought a Kuratas and modified it with a real Gatling gun and maybe some craycray 10ft custom made ff7 type sword, you could actually defend yourself in style against the hordes of angry backers.

A reminder that failing to file accounts is a criminal offence. Karl and the rest of the faithful, what's your opinion on Foundry 42 breaking the law and having to spend backer money on fines because they cannot or do not want to follow simple laws? Does this make you think they have something to hide re finances or is it simply incompetence and/or laziness?

If it's true, that's some seriously messed up poo poo right there. I mean seriously, why would I even go after imgur? Note that they aren't even looking in the direction of, you know, Dolvak, who automagically had a competing site ready to roll less than 24hrs after that farce. Coincidence? I think not.

A Neurotic Jew posted:Derek predicted they were closing down the Austin studio. CIG denied it. Turns out they were. Omi-Polari posted:The caveat is that October and November is when CIG makes most of its money for the year *and* they're still down 20% compared to 2014 and we're not factoring in refunds (which may be relatively small, but still). Last November they made $6 million and I don't see them topping it. I have predicted quite a number of things. I had a list somewhere. I will dig it up and post later.

I still hope they make the game. I got my eighty bucks out for the initial $60 bounty hunter tier and the $20 to bring it from a 300 to a 325 because I'm intensely skeptical that this is going to succeed instead of crashing and burning everyone's money. But that said, I still want them to actually pull through and provide what was promised back in the initial crowd fund: Privateer 3 done on the scale of Elite. If they'd never embarked on trying to bolt on the kitchen sink and hiding in cargo containers and a hold your breath while shooting button, I think they'd probably already have something playable on the market and things would be great.

I made excuses about late filing a while back but it's November now and still no accounts filed. They will definitely eat fines now as there must be a massive accounting gently caress up that either the Foundry 42 accountant or their external accountant must be trying to clean up. Will Derek's spacecourt filing be the event that pulls the pin on the whole thing? My conclusion paaaarrrrrrrrrrrpppppppp
