So I happen to be in Austin this week. Anyone know if CIG still has offices where I can go, meet the game developers, and key "paaarp" into the side of their cars? Or is that taking this too far? Also congrats bootcha, if you're having a $200,000 party to celebrate, I'll bring the weed.

It's also just as likely that Chris is being willfully delusional (or just plain ol' delusional) and is just elated he no longer has to share any of the profits with a nasty goon naysayer.

As in, as they saw the millions rolling in, they somehow perceived them as the profits of an ongoing business and used them for growth projection. If you want to be generous you'd say they lacked the awareness to see they were just milking their existing fanbase dry and thought they were genuinely gathering an even bigger following and the trend would continue. If not, then that they knew exactly what they were doing and are milking this cow for all it's worth, since either way croberts and co. leave this fiasco with plenty of money in their pockets (the larger the company and

Conspiratiorist posted:leave this fiasco with plenty of money in their pockets (the larger the company and Yeah, the referral system on top of them previously saying you could have as many accounts as you wanted has allowed them to drastically increase the account of backer accounts to well over 700k, while forum accounts from the free flight vouchers they've been handing out at events have taken them over 1 million. I'd figure the number of actual backers is probably 400-500k at a guess with the active backer number (those actually paying attention to the game) is a lot less than that, 10 for the chairman seems to get 30-40k views. Now for a normal game you'd say well not everybody watches the news about the game, they play it, Star Citizen doesn't have much of that, so what else are people going to do but watch these terrible shows? Wild guess again but semi active backers ~200k Also consider none of that is removing the refunds and people laughing at the terrible tv shows. November content so far :-

To they would both have to leave and probably go back to flipping burgers or some similar work, so I don't quite think his fanboy pride will allow him that. Not to mention how uncertain your future would look, if both you and your spouse lose their jobs at the same time while both of you take in an ungodly amount of calories each day.

I don't even have the CC account I may have used anymore. The only possible way is that the purchase is still somehow linked to my bank account. If you've kept the same credit cards, the numbers change but the refund should arrive back on the right account as the old numbers are linked. Sometimes it doesn't work though in my experience. If you can stop them sending to an old card you should do that, once they've agreed to refund you they have admitted the debt and they should do that via another method if you explain the problem, you might need to prove that card was closed via a letter (This is the procedure as I understand it in the UK when it happened to me for an insurance refund). Once they've sent the money it's your problem and they won't be at all interested unless you can prove the payment never arrived to the old account. Refunded money can go back to a cancelled card, but you'll have to contact the card company to figure out how to get it, I have no clue on that.

They've already sent the money so hopefully it shows up in my bank account. I'm not really that bothered about it considering I sold the ship on the grey market and am not sure why the amount was so high, also it was so long ago. I guess the main goal was the refund in itself anyway so mission accomplished I guess.
