That graph is also completely wrong. For example Fallout 4, GTA V, etc didn't began after the previous iteration.

Also, Eve online was beta in 3 years, released the 4th.

I need to remember to make a better graph than that lovely one the cult links (it says "source: Wikipedia" which is laughable).

Sent another email to CIG, fresh chain this time, no reply. Informed them that I've begun the dispute on all payments to CIG through paypal.

Fast forward a couple of hours, sitting at home working on a new desk and I see an email update from "support".

Excited. Open email. It's another automated response from CIG informing me, along with the others who I assume have been waiting for 1 month plus at this point, that we are still not forgotten.

1 week is an eternity when dealing with support tickets, let alone 4+

How they can be that bad at dealing with tickets for a game that isn't even launched yet is baffling

The only possible reason I could see is if the whales are literally melting hundreds of ships a day, and each one requires some sort of 20 min database voodoo to make it work

Which based on the comment Lando made before about database dick cheese, might just be the case!

Never forget.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



If your spaghetti has "spaghetti sauce", ground beef, cheese, and "some" spices, no poo poo it's going to suck.


So is a lasagna made out of those ingredients.



In this analogy Star Citizen doesn't even have cheese or spices, and nobody has decided what type of pasta it should use.

Don't forget the "where's the swag I ordered last month?!" and the "why is my Squadron 42 mug printed so poorly?!" and "why are the new Concierge Black cards not black and how come I can't get them with my name on them if I spent $1000 on ships already?" type questions...

I make a mean chicken cheese by using some sliced cheese and a tortilla. Except it has no chicken, just the concept of chicken. I call it "the cheese crisp" but it's microwaved so it's not really crispy... just kinda sad and floppy. Much like Star Citizen. So sad... so floppy... :(

It doesn't matter. If SC takes ten years backers will just say it makes sense because SC is actually two games or some other pathetic excuse.

I guess a vegetarian would like it. Or on the opposite scale, it'd at least convince them to turn vegan too and give up cheese.

Also kinda like Star Citizen. :v:

The only way I got my money back was escalation. It took 6 weeks from initial "how do I get my money back" to, well, if you're just sending automails, I'm escalating. Got my money back 4 days later.

Edit: My log in on rsi worked for like 24 hrs after my account was supposedly closed too. Maybe they are getting overwhelmed by refund requests?

That's a cheese quesadilla and a terrible one at that. Please up your cheese game.

I take great offense to that. As a cis white male I am entitled to call it "the cheese crisp" because it's better than anything Gordon Ramsey could make. He's the only person who's allowed to critique my work because he's like the Derek Smart of food stuff. But... wait. poo poo. I'm just gonna stop cooking since I suck at it.

But even at the sucky end of that spectrum, inadvertently poisoning your beloved with food can be so fun! :( (so long as they survive, of course) They even forgive you for it, because they love you.

EDIT: Again, same as with CIG and Star Citizens! drat, this food talk analogy works with games and their fans on so many levels!

Some people cried that Smart lending legitimacy to a neonazi by appearing on his show to have a boring talk about video games was a bad idea.
Smart cried that we can't censor him and left for a few minutes.
Some people cried that the schadenfreude train was at risk of derailing.
Ultimately it was a boring conversation and everyone shrugged their shoulders. A lot of really funny/horrifying twitter messages made a few more pages of the thread fun/gas worthy.

I might have missed a few points. The whole event was a little surreal for me.
