But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?

I know Derek. Believe me. But as you know, people in the spergosphere automatically assume anything you say can't be true. (We mostly don't but the backers do.)

That is why INN's elliptical confirmation of what YOU and EightAce have said here is very interesting. Because the backers listen to INN, and INN pretty much just pointed towards an end of Q1 2017 release date. They've heard that directly from CIG, yet the backers have not.

So-- maybe the better way to frame this is "INN CONFIRMS DEREK SMART'S ALLEGATIONS OF A 2017 RELEASE ARE TRUE, BASED ON CIG SOURCES! So why aren't the BACKERS being told? Is it because DEREK SMART said it first?"

Maybe you should read the replies to Neurotic Jew's Reddit thread.

It's loving obvious that the December 2016 trailer will be a release trailer, consistent with CIG's track record of waiting until a product is finished to hype it. You loving idiot.

I suppose my angle is I am interested in the welfare of both ex and current employees, and as I stated before these people do not have the means or financial capability to defend themselves against a libel/slander/espionage lawsuit. If CIG is willing to contest a UK civil suit against a goon trying to get a refund, you can bet your rear end they will throw personal and backer money at a lawsuit against a former employee. A court is a frightening place against someone who will do anything to ensure you cannot work in the video games industry ever again.

The best way is as it stands: Verified bombshells from protected sources from time to time, that stack up as evidence against CIG until such time someone turns it into a full fledged shitstorm lawsuit with CIG as the defendant. Or until CIG does something REALLY stupid, and the worm turns completely.

No one is even bothering to throw verified bombshells though, it's just all wink wink, nod nod. I mean poo poo, if there's even beginning to be borderline illegal stuff going on why doesn't someone give information to someone that can actually take some sort of action.

The people I feel bad for is the guy who posts up his reddit thread of "Hey just checked out this Star Citizen thing, I'm buying in for $1k" because he doesn't know any better.

I like how the true believers approach asking a question about another cut feature. Not only do they have to make sure it's clear twice over that they are not daring to challenge them, but for all they know this may be the best decision ever? Cutting a multiplayer feature...may make your game this generation's Star Wars?!

That's a lie. Cats do not chill at the vet's. They are doing hard multidimensional calculus to determine whether or not the advantages of free food and a personal human assistant are really worth the humiliation and utter betrayal of the vet visit. Also, trying to figure out good places to hide the body.

It just looks chill because of how distracted they are by doing the maths in their head without the use of a spreadsheet or at least some kind of graph calculator.

what I'm wondering about is, how much more stupid are they going to get before this whole thing blows wide open for good? I can't even fathom.

I'll never tire of the effort that went into making a tongue that you can't see in a closed mouth behind a helmet behind the cockpit glass in a ship you're firing missiles at from thousands of km away. Cart before the horse doesn't even begin to describe CIG. They built a cart in space hoping someday a solar system will spring to existence, then have planets, one of them will produce life, and horses will evolve.
