This sounds like a wonderful justification for a lawsuit.

The guy mentioned that the charge back probably happened a long time ago and CIG are only going after him now. I wonder if this is because they think that it's been too long for him to charge back his account as a result of them closing it if he refuses to pay up since that's the obvious response.

Between that and Valkyrie, it looks like CCP is taking more and more of a module approach to their PC gaming experience. :haw:

I always figured Dust 514 wasn't a testbed for a PC FPS (but really it kind of was). I'm excited...EVE is a wonderful setting and an FPS component, along with even Valkyrie (while not a tie in necessarily) would really be something. Good on them. ED is also pushing towards multicrew availability. It seems like everyone is doing what SC wants to do except SC.

Also people saying "why did you post the emails to youtube, if they were real why wouldn't you post them as jpgs". The same people that said the Beer mail jpgs were fake, like Samfreez.

I've been saying for a long time, plenty of these motherfuckers are pure shills, they don't believe the crap they say. I don't know if they are all saddled with huge grey market accounts that they must get rid off before this thing collapses or what but many of them know they are lying .

None of them care if the chargeback mails are real. They'll use the "fake" strawman until it's used up and they need another one

if this goes on we'll need a :dolvak:

A wordfilter for "gently caress", that is only seen if you're not logged in. If you are logged in, "gently caress" displays as "gently caress". The word "gently caress" is not forbidden here, it's merely a sop to certain advertisers that are not used for logged in users. Writing "gently caress" in a post instead of "gently caress" is loving annoying and if you do it, you should loving stop.

Posted by KRSNA on August 19, 2008
Many people who join the forums after lurking think this term is used intentionally to avoid saying "gently caress". Newly registered members will often say "gently caress" and "loving" in place of "gently caress" and "loving". These people are generally considered idiots.

Are people still suggesting new hobbies? because I can recommend knitting. Also hockey, volunteering at the animal shelter, cooking, and reading. All are productive uses of your time that don't involve thousands of dollars on incomplete poo poo (unless you buy really expensive yarn and don't finish any projects).

Do not be distracted by the hilarious gifs of the broken game that they are now making a New TV show out of to show the horde they are working on fixing the game.

Instead look behind door number three, where the facts that:

3 directors of CIG Manchester (In the heart of Wilmslow Cheshire) have public share holdings in a company that has just had 15 million dollars shipped into it.
One is a Roberts the other a lifelong childhood friend and the other an ex prominent member of staff at Gizmondo. Not to mention the whole thing has been actioned by the new CFO another childhood friend and ex CFO of Gizmondo Europe. Its all right there in black and white.

So if CIG came out and said "Okay, we were wrong." regarding this whole issue then doubled back and maybe even gave this guy another jpeg ship like an Idris or something, would that necessarily clear things up? A step in the right direction? I mean, I'm just trying to see what CIG could do to stop being such a giant twat and remedy the situation. Yeah, the customer isn't always right but you don't want to necessarily criminalize them or persecute them. I don't get what CIG gets by doing this since its doing a good job of pissing people off and thats about it.

You know what? gently caress you. I'm so sick of spineless assholes like you making statements putting my credibility into question and then backing off the second you're confronted about it. You don't give a poo poo about the truth. You don't give a poo poo that your "friend" actually did write everything I shared. Well guess what; she loving did. Every communication I linked is one between myself and Cloud Imperium Games. You, like so many other backers, have invested so much time and energy into Star Citizen that the possibility that it all might come crashing down is a terrifying prospect. Imagine for a second that it really is all a lie. Imagine that Star Citizen really is a disaster that will never be released in the manner that they are dreaming of. Imagine that Chris Roberts really is either outright lying to you or that he is pathologically incapable of perceiving the possibility that things are hosed because of his management approach. Imagine that all of your effort, time, money, energy, everything you've done is a complete and utter waste. Can you?

I get it. I was there. I was obsessed with Star Citizen, pouring over every detail, obsessively watching every lovely show and gleaning every hint of game information. I truly, genuinely, authentically believed in the dream that was Star Citizen. I desperately wanted it to be a reality so that I could play it with all of my friends. Imagine all the poo poo you're getting on these forums, all the poo poo Ben and everyone else got, and increase it with an order of magnitude. That was my loving life on these forums defending this abortion of a game. I got poo poo on by this community for supporting SC, I got poo poo on by RSI for actually speaking my mind, and I got poo poo on repeatedly by Lesnick himself every time I expressed a concern. And in spite of all of that it took me getting loving banned to finally realize just how hosed things are. It was only after I got pulled out of the RSI forums and was forced to see things on the outside that I got a perspective other than the SC reality distortion field. I should send whoever demanded I be removed a thank you card.
