SelenicMartian posted:CIG probably needs that $10 so much right now. Well someone linked to their forums and people at $500-900 pledge levels are scrambling to buy more jpegs to get to the $1000 threshold to pick up the stupid card before they "run out" on Sunday. It's a clever tactic to get more money from the imbeciles. And they happily get to claim that they're not making any profit off the actual $10 of that card cost, it's simply to benefit all the fans!

'Edgy' youtube guy gives old school Dennis Millery rant about the state of the nation at CIG, after taking potshots at Derek Smart and whatnot... It's annoying, but there's some decent commentary here after the open. It's causing some discomfort on reddit, so it's got that going for it...

Ha ha..given their audience, that's actually fiendishly clever. walruscat posted:Gotta say, if this is Sandi's idea, she's putting on a masterclass on how to separate nerds from their money. Yep, it really is. It's perfect when your audience is incredibly dedicated, desires a feeling of superiority/entitlement, and desperately wants a physical product.

I'm cringing at the B&W filter and that he's wearing special leather podcasting gloves. He seems like an off-brand Max Landis knock-off you buy at the dollar store. Berious posted:Spaceship bodypillows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwrf8loXceA Seriously though, when Sandi stays away from the cameras, she is fiendishly clever at gouging money out of nerds. If her ego didn't require her to be an actress, she'd make a great behind-the-scenes mastermind. Hell, she did a great job at that for the first $70 million or so.

More realistically, Chris Roberts will just release a limited edition 3D printed mold of his dick so that all the whale backers can continue to get hosed by him even after this project burns to the ground.

I requested a refund and this was the response:quote:Normally we do not refund past the 14 day grace period except on a discretionary basis and under extenuating circumstances as the money has already been committed to the development of the game. As your pledges are old, I may not be able to offer you a full refund. I will however, ask my manager if you could give me reasons for your request to help make the decision. I'd like to tell him to pound dirt, but I'd also like my money back.

Yeah gotta say Sandi really showing that it doesn't take a diploma to make money just a lack of a moral compass to take advantage of the mentally ill. So cheers to her. People who are saying she is unqualified probably should back off of that because look how effective she really is at her job. Infact without her I am pretty sure Croberts would have crashed and burned by now already.

Atlanton posted:I requested a refund and this was the response: Tell him to pound dirt and then just do a chargeback. Get your money back + telling them to go gently caress themselves in one move. They promised the product already by now when you put money into it and now there is nothing there so they are just literally stealing your money. Tell your credit card / bank about it they shouldn't have a problem doing a chargeback. edit: I am pretty sure once enough people do chargebacks it just becomes nearly automatic as they lose their standing. I mean you could always do a sob story and try to get it back without it like you are having a financial emergency but the people who are getting refunds are talking about it taking over a month already and some of them even said they falsely where told they where getting a refund and never received it. On top of the fact that they are trying to not give full refunds so they are skimming off the top. So why bother with all that headache at this point and just go straight for a charge back. It is not your problem they spent that money on development, any reputable company would give you your money back if they couldn't deliver the product you payed for so why is this the exception?

Like for real that " as the money has already been committed to the development of the game." is another huge warning siren going off. If this company was flush with cash like the cultist believe then why would they hesitate to give you your money back and risk a chargeback? They are trying to guilt trip you into not pursuing your refund that you are entitled to. I don't even know how you could do that job and sleep at night it's so slimey.

Haha this guy is an idiot he doesn't even realize that elite came out 6 years before wing commander did in 1984. Also wearing aviators inside is so sad its almost not even worth making fun of. Gotta say though most of his other stuff in the video was pretty on point. Maybe some of the SC fanboys will finally use their brain if they think it's coming from one of their own. I doubt it though. Vire fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Nov 11, 2015 |

Maybe Croberts should have been given a fern, then an ant farm, and then maybe a gerbil to verify being a responsible adult before the internet gave him an orphanage with 94 million crying babbys. /\/\/\/\ best part is the interview footage between Battletech devs and SC god Croberts promising a second coming of space sims.

Nope good to see that the reddit thread is the same old down vote machine with any dissenting opinion being downvoted into oblivion while the echo chambers is in full force. They are literally enraged by the thought someone might be concerned for their financial stability. Although it probably could have said anything and have been down voted because SA was in the username.

G0RF posted:Yeah - dude needs to do a little research next time. he looks dumb enough calling himself the Rageaholic and applying crap B&W filters to the videos he records while wearing sunglasses indoors in a room with edgy poster walls.. He doesn't need to double down on that by getting basic game chronology facts so wrong. Dude was just trying to take a cheap pot shot at elite fans because they actually have a working game so there's not much you can insult them with. To bad he picked something that could be proven 100% false as a fact making him look like a sore loser retard.

Every once in a while I post to take the temp of the reddit SC cultists, so far the cult is still going strong. "why the gently caress would you care about me or any other stranger life/money? Stop pretending you do, if you have doubts and money problems deal with them don't preach your fears to strangers, no one cares lol" and "Stop telling me what to do with my loving money and mind your own business!"

Did SC ever end up implementing it anyway? I did get a look at Kingdom Come on Gamescon this year. And it does look really nice. Has nice animations. The swordplay is very close to historical sword combat and is actually fun to use. Riding a horse also has momentum. Overall it did look pretty wel polished. I guess it will be a nice singleplayer game.
