wyoak posted:I dunno poo poo about how the company runs day to day but the fact that people are still throwing money at them with no product means marketing is doing something well. if you work for CIG then I'll take your word that the head of marketing and PR isn't doing any marketing or PR but I dunno why people are so eager to throw her under the bus despite selling being the only thing that this company can demonstrably do well The marketing is all word of mouth among a community of spergs and their friends. There aren't new people getting involved in this. Its the same goofy morons buying new jpegs every time they come out. Sandi isn't doing anything to motivate these sales, she just happens to hold the title of the person who is usually responsible for marketing.

Somebody who gives way too much of a gently caress should analyze their fundraising activity relative to their forum activity. I'd be interested to see how those track.

If a product was actually coming out this would be a marketing masterclass, they've already got a massive base of loyal customers and a good amount of name recognition Letting CR write that rant was a PR disaster but hey even multi-billion dollar startups make tonedeaf moves like that wyoak fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Nov 4, 2015 |

wyoak posted:Most companies have to pay for their street team, they got people to pay them to do it, seems like a marketing win to me A lot of this is based on the retarded amount of goodwill and nostalgia people have for the old Wing Commander games. I know a few people irl that are incredibly intelligent and not dopes in any sense of the word but have dropped literally 1000s into this poo poo because of WC and Chris Roberts. "Chris Roberts was a foundation of my youth," or something equally cringey has come out in justification for it numerous times.

This is actually correct pretty much everything outside of that CR rant was very good marketing. That's really the one thing this project has going for it the fact that it uses unethical marketing selling people fake dreams to great success.

Im not saying they don't have a great word of mouth thing going for them, just that it has nothing to do with anything Sandi did. My only point is she isn't qualified for her job, and any success of the company isn't because of her marketing strategies.

As tempting as it is to try for a refund and embrace the , I feel as if I need to keep my $60 into this not-game so I can learn once and for all not to waste my money on bad games. Preordering Brink wasn't enough.

IF they manage to release anything it will be janky as hell and lacking all sorts of features. Source: everything they've released so far. If they can manage to stay in business long enough to polish it and add content that poo poo will be $4.99 on a steam summer sale by that point. Citizen. Get a Refund.

Welcome BastionPete. First, no need to say you had an account from 2007 that you lost. Even if it's true, no one cares. Second, you sound like a mostly rational person, unlike some other SC supporters that have come here. Be sure to read the forum rules, and as long as you don't make an rear end of yourself no one here will bite your head off. I've mostly been lurking in this thread, so I'll let goons that have been involved with SC respond to your points. But one thing I'm curious about : as someone that still believes SC will be released, what do you think the game is going to be? Oh, and PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRP
