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.



Harder to make as funny as the broken game tbh

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.

The only thing they could do to fix this mess is nothing. If they make you liable for other people's chargebacks then they just killed the economy even before it was designed. People can buy ingame credits with money which means you can't trade for anything because otherwise the credits/goods you are getting might be charged back and you end up footing the bill.

Chris Roberts standing atop a flaming wreckage of his mocap studio, raises the shotgun that cannot be, crashes CIG to desktop.

If they totally probably maybe aren't considering any sort of console release, why do they have a ps4 devkit inhouse?

I like how crobber danced around that. Christ man use some backer funds to get a real PR firm involved, like the one that helped the lion murdering dentist. Probably better bang for your buck than your stylist and nutritionist who seem to be phoning it in anyways.

And the LTI chargeback shakedown is hilarious. Any competent company would eat that loss in the name of consumer goodwill... not to say there's even a real loss involved, but it speaks volumes to the levels of mismanagement at play at CIG, top to bottom.

I hope they get Werner Herzog to do the post-op documentary. That poo poo is going to be fascinating.

Comparing the Cult of Christ to a traditional religious institution seems pretty apt to me.

Don't you think the whole thing is weird enough without that kind of touch? Or are you suggesting that only he could possibly capture and convey the insanity of the whole thing?

I think it's possible they could release SQ42 this year- remember this is part 1 of a trilogy and is already confirmed to take place in a single system (which reduces the workload required to build it significantly- essentially we're looking at a similar amount of content to the baby PU with scripted missions). I mean it's a tight timeline. Thinking logically, I'm guessing we might see the first playable version of SQ42 available only to backers this year in a 'beta' format. Then the gold release would be 2017- that way they can get it out the biggest fans on time but with the caveat it might still have some bugs.

I remember that game!

Like star citizen horizons was filled with carebears who viscerally hated pvp. So much so that they rioted when a completely optional pvp arena was proposed. Also there was a load of fanboys who'd trick you into buying it by posting complete bollocks. It was bad.

Although poo poo as horizons was they didn't sell sparkly dragons for $15000

You're buying an actual finished product of good quality with Games Workshop so it really isn't a good replacement for CIG's Star Citizen aka SQ 42 aka PU 2.0 aka Star Marine.
