People bitch about the movie but you really should read the books. It opens with L Ron bragging about how amazing a writer he his and what a feat writing this enormous tome would have been for any lesser man and then presents you with this feast of poo poo never ending childish power fantasy. loving Jonny Goodboy, a six year old wrote this poo poo..

I'm going to just keep editing this with summary notes...

---

Alexis is being asked why the Concierge VIP cards are not customized. She says it's too hard but don't worry there will be customized dogtags -- Squadron 42 ones -- available for preorder in the new year.

So expect those to be delivered by Summer.

---

Oh and now they're explaining why the year-old Retaliator Escape Pod video was regurgitated for the Sneak Peek...

---

Now Ben is explaining they found a bunch of footage-- raw masters of excerpts from the Wing Commander movie -- and they will potentially be editing and releasing unseen footage for all those who loved the film.

---

Alexis is explaining that the VIP Concierge card's latin quote means "Faithful until death". Because they demand your permanent fealty, dammit.

---

Lando and Ben explain that the huge new office is technically not in Santa Monica-- it's in Los Angeles-- so this move is a cash saving move. Which, as we know, is a constant priority at CIG.

---

Now Ben and Lando are explaining what they needed a new Motion Cap studio.

---

"Why are they ignoring 2.0 related questions?" (Ask the fans.) Ben explains "It's at a point where there's not a lot to say about it. It's essentially content complete and is now in the long and boring QA review cycle."

If anyone believes this poo poo they are straight up retarded. 'Why yes, 2.0 is done it is just in Q&A right now. That's why we showed a year old pre rendered footage instead of any gameplay, this is completely normal and acceptable :downs:'

Oh and they are loving delusional if they think anyone outside their brain damaged cultists actuality liked Wing Commander the movie. It is a steaming pile of poo poo that isn't even a funny bad movie, just pathetic.

I'm still catching up, so if the following retreads ground, I apologize.

If CIG folds, I expect that the mocap studio/custom office space will be sold to another company probably owned by one of the principals here; maybe CR himself, but more likely Ortwin, Erin, or one of the others. Given that refunds are being paid out of any number of companies, it's possible, if not probable, that the cash for the transaction will actually be backer funds. These funds will then be used to pay off creditors; the debts were likely taken to fund the game, while at least part of the cash probably stood as collateral -- of course, non-cash assets might have been used for collateral as well, leaving CR & co. with the liquidity they needed to fund a lavish lifestyle and try to wriggle their way back into Hollywood.

No. If and when it crashes, the Feds will most definitely be involved. And once that happens, there is no way they get to hide money anywhere. That's what RICO is for.

They're idiots. Considering how much press it got since 2012 - 99% of it positive - now that people are taking a second look, they want to cry foul? Yeah right bitches; cry me a river.
