Thronde posted:We're all looking at their numbers going up right now, but they did also just take a huge loss to Bootcha alone, much less all the refunds going on. Speaking of which, to anyone still thinking over of refunding their poo poo, just do it already. Seriously, now's the time before all that disposable cash of theirs evaporates and they inevitably have to stop all refunds from going on. Hell, even NOW they're trying to crawl back every cent that they rightfully owe you any way they can with BS excuses while loving up and giving others more than they are due. In my case they gave me back more than they should, while in my friend's case they gave her less than they should. When all was made right in the world on that score, she still said in the end that she really should've just chargebacked, regardless of whatever hassle that might incur. So get your money out now, before it's too late. Because my prediction is that in another year or 2 (or hell, maybe just a few months time...who knows with them hiding the financials and without a shadow of a doubt having an incompetent or no accountant watching all their money), the refunds will stop and you won't be able to sell your poo poo on the grey market either, since from what I'm reading right now it's deffo tanking ever since CIG stopped any pretense at having any ship be exclusive so long as it lines them more money in their pockets. I'd post the refund gif at this point, but it seems it got taken out thanks to Reddit pansies. So someone do the needful and until then... Citizen...GET A REFUND! REEEEEEEEEFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND!

Even if you have faith that the game will be good, if you're in the hole for anything other than the absolute bare minimum, get a refund. You can always buy the full release for $40 or whatever in three years when it's out, popular and bug free. If buying in at $40 ends up being a substantially worse experience as a player than having a $3000 pirate racing fleet, then the game is a failure on a fundamental level and not something you should want to be involved with anyway, because that would make it a lovely, cynical pay-to-win scam.

Best way to view SC in any light. Reminds me of the some old P2W MUD I used to play in the late 90's, where people would dump like $1000 or so for a text sword with bonuses. One person dumped over $25k into it, then still got wrecked. Jpegs are clearly an evolution of the text sword model.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Constellation Aquila: $250 exploration variant. Notable for having a round cockpit instead of whatever the gently caress the other ones have. Only one turret because the other is replaced by a sensor package thingy. Carries a rover because why the gently caress not. Has more fuel... somehow. No parasite fighter. What's the rover meant to be used for, is it like ED, you go exploring and bouncing around on moons and poo poo? Like the rover Frontier has been spending a great deal of time on, including new mechanics and handling (for both atmospheric ship flight and the rover itself) plus procedural generation for planet surfaces? Like, that kind of rover? And it's just dropped in as a tickbox feature on a spaceship jpeg? It's cool, that'll just take them a few weeks to bash out I'm sure.

She apparently told them she had another job and gave 2 weeks notice, this happened on the same day two other CIG people, who seemed friendly towards her on the internet shows they do, were rumoured to have been dramatically fired and one other actual developer is rumoured to have quit on the spot as a result. Rumours of much screaming, insults and accusations of leaking to a certain guy called Derek. Not sure she actually had another job lined up. Toops posted:She either ragequit or was fired.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Right, but that's what I mean: even without the ToS thing they've been giving out refunds* , so you can't say "I didn't get my refund" ("timely refunds" may be arguable, but that's a whole other It has nothing to do with how long it takes to build, if they can build it etc. You guys need to stop obfuscating the facts. The facts are simple: - They promised to build a crowd-funded (this is key and trumps everything) game - They promised to deliver that game by Nov 2014 (they had a one week slip window which comes around Dec 1, 2015) - They got $ to deliver the game - They haven't; and amid claims of misuse of backer money, malfeasance etc That's the crux of the matter. Also, even if you ignored the one year in their own ToS; they have still failed to meet the promises and that alone trumps any ToS. By law. And it's all about the money. As I said before, long before it gets anywhere near a trial, all the facts - including the money (which will be taken apart bit by bit, and by very experienced accountants) will be in discovery. And if there is any evidence of fraud, misappropriation of funds etc, then that's a whole other ball game that will eclipse any of the issues above. And it has nothing to do with refunds. Which, btw, we get emails every single day about someone either flat out being refused, or taking over a month or more to even get a response. Listen, since they have absolutely no chance of shipping the game they promised in any completed form, this is a huge hole Chris has dug and he's never going to be able to climb out of it.

), and I'd say the 2.0 that they managed to poo poo out-- even with the crashes-- would convince 11/12 jury members that they have progression on game development. Call in an expert witness to testify how long it takes to make a AAA game, compare the scope lists of them vs Star Citizen, and you'd have a pretty hard time convincing even an educated layperson that they've been pissing away the money on coke and booze instead of game development ("in addition to" is also another

Star Citizen reminds me of the most hyped up yet ultimately most disappointing sex of my life. I was a young man, about 20, I had just been assigned to Edwards AFB as an active duty Marine working with a reserve unit. It was heave. Hot Air Force girls everywhere, base DFAC had good food, very few other Marines to run up and yell idiot poo poo like "Yut-yut" and "Debba-dawg" whenever they saw me with my wallet in my pocket instead of in my socks. There was a really, really cute AF girl I had met my first day while one of our reservists was showing me around base. She was incredibly attractive, long black hair, perky tits you could see even when she was wearing those terrible BDUs the AF had then. She shouldn't have enlisted, she should have just gone to a modelling agency and worked boat shows and trade conventions making more money than she could have as an E-4. We hit it off very well, she and I both had a lot of similar interests, ranging from James Bond movies, a love of older Lotus' and we even both were still quoting Beavis and Butthead episodes in the year 2003. We would spend as much time as we could together. She was dealing with breaking up with her ex-fiance, I was new to the area, so I was trying to play it cool and not push anything.One weekend I was about to leave to spend the long 4th of July weekend with my older brother who owned a place in San Diego. She was bummed because she had nowhere to go and my brothers then-wife suggested I invite this girl to come with me. I asked her and she was really excited to come. She packed her poo poo and we drove to my brother's condo. The drive up we flirted and teased the whole way, she kept putting her hand on my lap and moving her fingers just a small amount until she could feel me getting hard, then she'd laugh and blush. I was pretty pumped for a 4 day weekend with her. That night we went to Anthony's Fish Grotto abd had dinner. She had gotten something with a lot of oysters and shrimp in it, I just went with some crab legs. We had a very nice dinner and even had some wine, though we were both about 6 months underage for that. Fats forward a little bit and we're back at my brother's condo. He and his wife were out with her coworkers for some fundraiser party at the Zoo. So here I am with this gorgeous girl, all alone in a nice guest room. She and I start making out and she whispers in my ear that we can't go all the way this weekend, because she had just started her period. A bit disappointing, but not the end of the world, I tell her not to worry about it and we keep fooling around. 20 minutes later I'm about as ready to go as I had ever been and she unzips my pants and starts giving me a handy, but she's starting to sweat, like a lo, I ask her if she's alright, she says "yeah, just a little warm in here" and takes her top off. She has loving "innie" nipples, not awful, just not what I was hoping for. Still, she's sweet and beautiful and Im not the type to let a blemish in the paint ruin a car. I ignore then and she starts rubbing her tits all over my face, I go along with it because I'm 20 with a hard on that could be used to shape steel. She started working her way down and gave me the toothiest BJ in the history of oral sex. It felt like she was dragging my cock through wet driveway gravel, I just dealt with it instead of asking her to stop because, once again, she's pretty and I have a 6 hour old boner. She really starts trying to deep throat me now, just shoving her head all the way down, I can hear her gagging a little so I try to help her out by moving her head up off of me a little, instead she jams down again and it starts a massive chain reaction that would trigger all 5 stages of grief in about a 9 second span. She starts barfing, but the panic makes her try to shut her mouth, which still has my shaft in it, so now she's clamping on my dick while spewing stomach bile and clam sauce all over it. I put my hands around her head and get a thumb on the jaw hinge and gently yet emphatically push it in a little while moving her head up, she's now depositing her entire dinner of mollusks on my lap, and my dick is definitely bleeding from her biting down. I didn't know what hurt more, her vomit on an open dong wound or stomach bile caught up in my dick-hole. That moment after, where I had a crying mostly naked girl trying to clean up her vomit off the floor, while I dealt with two new forms of terrible searing pain in and on my johnson while I dealt with the smell of the rotting remains of the Pacific coastline plopped in my lap and tried to say "it's okay" in a voice that wasn't me screaming out in pain and disgust, that moment just reminds me of how I feel about this whole project now. It started with a lot of promise and excitement, all the right things were there, but now here we are, bleeding dicks in hand trying to clear a barrel jam created by undercooked oysters and over-enthusiastic but ultimately under-experienced vigor

Octopode posted:There literally never has been, and still isn't, an intention for an independent FPS module. Star Marine was and still is planned as another subgame within the game, just like Arena Commander. I don't know where you got this idea that there was going to be an independent FPS game. That's pure bollocks. Here's why: quote:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals FPS gameplay style was introduced right off the bat and added in various forms via stretch goals. Like changing "Arena" to "Arena Commander", Chris himself tagged the FPS module as "Star Marine". And like Arena commander's ships, flight dynamics etc, everything SM was to be in the PU as well as SQ42. The SM module was only as "independent" as Arena Commander in terms of it being used as a test quote:http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Marine ...and this was Oct 3rd, 2015. quote:https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14981-Star-Marine-Status-Update At that was merely three weeks before Chris announced at CitizenCon that Star Marine was no longer going to be released as a stand alone module, but that it would be a component of the PU. As we've seen in the 2.0 pre-Alpha, the same poo poo that was shown before, is what's actually in there now. None of the new stuff they claimed they were working on appears to be in it. In fact, last I checked, they haven't even mentioned anything about FPS in these 2.0 updates, let alone "Star Marine". So, as I said back in Sept, the Star Marine module has in fact been canceled. So no, you guys don't get to hide behind revisionist history in a blatant - and sordid - attempt that give Chris a pass with every screw up and lie. The truth is out there. All of it.
