Did this interview with Sandi from 2013 pop up in any of the earlier threads?

The audio is missing on the article, but I found a copy here:

Quoting this again from a hundred pages again because everyone deserves to experience this. Skip to ~30m to the question about marketing strategy. this ranks as the worst response I've ever heard a professional give about their worK

That being said, I'm sure I have known terrible people without realizing they were terrible, but no, I do not believe Sandi- look, she would have to have, like, a split personality, which is possible, but pretty unlikely. I'm very done talking about it now. The Sandi bashing is the reason I DONT like this thread. I have nothing further to say on the matter.

There are people who may display things that I don't see, those people exist.



BUT IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE SANDI, I LOVE HER TOO MUCH!

just finished reading this old article from last year about peter molyneux

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/13/peter-molyneux-interview-godus-reputation-kickstarter/

fantastic stuff, really. interesting as all get-out, especially when they push him regarding some kickstarter promises.

(compared to the roberts, though, i think molyneux is just a dreamer and an idiot with a huge mouth. he's the snake oil salesman who genuinely believes the snake oil is medicine. i suspect he'd happily be penniless so long as he was working on some crappy game that he believed in.)

anyways it's interesting thinking of coder gods from videogames past. i hope there's at least a few interviews with chris roberts in the near future that go as intensely as this one.

edit: derek your serious breaking news better be a god drat goon de yadda

I remember that one, it's really devastating

Got no sympathy for him though, because he's doing the salesman tactic of repeating the interviewer's first name all the time

That's a really loving annoying thing to do

This is probably what actually happened but try putting on your CIG glasses. Remember, they do not refund you (when they did refunds) for gifts on your account.

Person B melted the specific package that was actually purchased and they derived all the benefits from having it. Once the chargeback has occured this package needs to either be deleted or paid for and person B derived all the benefits of that specific package.

CIG stop caring at this point and do not even want to acknowledge the existence of a grey market. Just because person B gave some different stuff away to people that may or may not be person A, this does not interest them at all.

From CIG perspective, as soon as person B says they received the package from person A then CIG are saying they should seek a refund for that transaction. The later transaction from person B to person A involves a completely different item of no consequence to them and is completely irrelevant. The "item" is even considered worthless by them and their own refund policy.

If you read my post again, that's exactly what I said.

the guy definitely has passion for videogames and making stuff. he just needs to shut up about his work's worth and get on with it! i still would rather ten peter molyneuxs out there hyping up their next stupid social catastrophe over one chris roberts

"It changes the way you spend money."

It's three minutes of incoherent ramblings about nothing related to the question and the interviewer has to just loving ask another question to end the tangent she's on.

To be fair Palin seems a lot more likeable. Sandi has the likeabity of a cold eyed failed actress past her prime so that's not much conpetition. Sorry if that opinion makes you vomit on your new mouse Fuzzy "Shotgun" modem

This may be the first time I ever made a positive appraisal of Palin. Thanks Sandi

Pretty sure this is all SC related stuff. It's all part of the farcical comedy machine in motion

Real answer: pick a handful of effort posters (eg Smart, Beer, AP, Mirificus) and use their post history to skim. Add in anyone else who you like and you're set

Honestly all that comes up SC related these days is how there's less of the game every time they talk about something that was coming soon, and more stuff that we'll never see cause it's far future vapour-dreams.
