This looks a lot like suffering.
It's funny because sometimes you play really well developed and maintained games and you do accidentally throw some sort of input that the game wasn't really meant to handle but it's overengineered and your session survives no problem. SC seems like the opposite so far. The pictures are sort of pretty but it looks like it's held together by popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue.

They changed their "Your refund should hit your bank account in 5 to 10 business days." to "Your refund should hit your bank account in 30 to 45 business days."

Told you to keep trying. Ask them WHY it will take so long.

Lots of refunds today, it's almost like they had cash flow problems and came into some money somehow over the weekend.

Anniversary sales. Also, I know for a fact that they're trying to do any many as possible before Nov 30 passes. There is a reason for that. Wait.

Is there some proposed Derek Smart lawsuit coming or was that just typical Smart

We're working through it. Had a legal meeting today discussing some things (the arbitration clause which they've only just figured out how to get around). Also have a meeting with the AG of two States next week.

Trust me, we're on it. It's huge. And if those pricks are reading this, I think they know by now that I'm not screwing around. I have given them every opportunity to do the right thing.

And what exactly have they done wrong that is illegal? They made a video game. It's not very good yet, and it was made in the most inefficient way humanly possible, but it's still a game. I am just curious what the exact grounds for this lawsuit are that calls for meetings with AGs in different states. Your demands before (I assume you are referring to your release financials/these people resign/whatever blog post) were not a "chance to do the right thing," they were demands fueled by your ego boner.

I'd be ok with not getting my $65 back if that lawsuit provides me with $65 of entertainment. As much as I'd like them to be successful and make a solid game, schadenfreude is just fine.

That was actually pretty interesting, but it looks like the group just took the money and ran, offering not a single product nor returns. Quite a bit different here. I know some people have gotten items like the crappy mugs and jackets - are there still items undelivered? The only real problem I can see so far is the issue with refunds taking a long time. That is definitely not good, but I don't know if it's exactly illegal.

For someone who literally only posts in this thread to call out Derek Smart, its kind of amazing you still don't know what he's claiming to base his lawsuit on.

Chris Roberts will call you up tomorrow and say, "Ragequit, the end of November 2015 is only a week away and I originally promised in our TOS to release financials by that date if the game was not fully released. I need your advice, should I release CIG's financials on Dec 1, 2015? If no, why not?"
