Ahahahahahahah....oh man, so even that counter has wound up being a hype machine for the press and is totally unreliable, considering how many of said spergs have more than one ship? Is there any indicator of how many 'backer' accounts are registered on the CIG site at the moment, since that seems to be a much more reliable (though still not perfect) way of measuring how many actual people have bought into this scam by this point? It still wouldn't be entirely accurate, since some buy two or more backer accounts for forums poo poo and since I'm willing to bet they don't remove the refunded and deactivated accounts from the count either, and still count them as their faithful pledgers for the overblown statistics...but still.

EDIT: Ah okay, but then there's another counter called "Star Citizens" which is over a million lol. And I bet that one still counts everyone that got a refund still anyway.

It does. Also counts anyone who ever had an account by way of free plays and such - without ever buying anything.

Elite: Dangerous had been in development for 14 years the same way Mad Max: Fury Road was in development for 30 years. Measuring development from the date of release of the last game in the franchise is loving weird.

I wasn't quantifying the game vs crowd sourcing more just pointing out the game has been around the block for a long time because people were laughing at the chart. It's a great game and crowd sourced right but it still is amazing that it holds that record. I only came across it from clicking through Guinness' lovely website one night. There's even a record for the most injuries while playing a video game

Don't be an idiot. Asking if Derek Smart or The Escapist is the reason for a refund is legally actionable how?

I can't tell that

a) you have no idea how any of this works

b) you have no idea about how legal action works

Then again, if Ortwin asked them to ask those questions, it all makes perfect sense since he's a buffoon.

Let me help you:

In order for them to have a claim, they have to prove damages

In order for them to prove damages, they have to show financials

In order to prove damages, you don't pick a number out of a hat. ergo if 10 people say yeah, it was The Escapist, your "damages" is restricted to the total amount of the refund for those 10

Then you have the unenviable task of proving that how The Escapist or Derek Smart somehow influenced the thinking of an individual who, after exercising free will, asked for his money back

Bonus Tip: The courts are littered with case law throwing out poo poo like the above and it's specifically the sort of crap that anti-SLAAP laws were made for

By your asinine reasoning, every restaurant on Yelp would be suing people posting bad reviews which cause other people to not visit. Oh wait! That's right, some have actually tried that. Cases tossed. Damages awarded.


In short, it all boils down to this: A magazine wrote something. It made some people who gave us money for a game we haven't delivered, ask for refunds. So we refunded and lost money. It's the magazine (or Derek Smart) fault.

The judge would have a field day. As would the press.

ps: considering how much money they have made between July to Nov, it would be amazing to read how their "ability to operate" has been damaged

pps: take this poo poo to Reddit. No clowns here

I just read all that while picturing Morgan Freeman reading it to me, and it was sexa'y as all hell.. :allears:

Derek has been increasingly quiet, but when he does speak he's far more doomy and prophetic-sounding. So either he's got nothing or he's got a lot.

I'm putting my money on a lot.

Edit: Especially since he dropped a dollar amount the other day. Oh poo poo son he's dropping numbers.

Plus, there are dozens if not hundreds of people on the record on Reddit claiming they were making additional ship purchases just to spite Derek Smart / The Escapist. It's entirely possible that more people were motivated to double down on dumb by spending more than actually sought refunds.

They rattled their sabers to rally the faithful, not to scare their enemies-- and it worked. No further action is necessary.

Incorrect. By the bullet example it is impossible to jump in an elevator going down. However if you jump and the elevator is traveling up you will rocket through the roof. I vote for these physics to be implemented.
