Friendly Humour posted:Some dude who has actually been following the thread could do a recap of the past few months for the rest of us. 2000 posts a day is a bit unreasonable to keep up with. CiG did something remotely stupid on their lovely shows so we laughed about it for 30 pages. Donut gate has been wiped entirely from the youtube video but it's still on twitch since they can't edit the VoD. Eight_Aces got drunk and posted some cryptic code, regretted it and deleted a lot of posts the next day. Goons got pissy because they couldn't crack the code and thus CODE IS poo poo!!!!!!! Derek said some stuff, supposedly poo poo's imploding and things are in motion to end this entirely. Who knows when that comes to light it could be tomorrow or Two Weeks. There I just summed up the last 100+ pages for you

Not just that, but since they are the architects of the tech, and having allegedly (they said this themselves IIRC) received an investment from RSI/CIG, we'd like to know 1) the nature of that investment, as it is material to backer money being spent 2) the accuracy of the data, how it is scraped, were there any discussions about padding and/or doing any data manipulation to give the impression of financial health. That last bit is squarely in fraud territory btw. I'm saying it again, when this poo poo-show collapses, given the web of companies, contractors etc who have been a part of it, all of it is going to be an absolute Gold mine of what happened, when, how - and who the players were D_Smart fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 9, 2016 |

Lladre posted:Didn't they start before Chris did? It would make it more of "Do what we did, Chris Roberts, ooh yeah, too late, my bad" over and over again. They were working on and off for years, but the KS began after SC. Both games were what Braben and Roberts have been dreaming of for decades. The big difference is that Braben is an industry veteran with a well managed team and a history of delivering games, while Roberts was made a laughing stock when Microsoft took over his company for wasting their money while Chris was too busy playing director on a notoriously lovely movie. In other words one is a professional and the other is a joke.

Beet Wagon posted:I'm a couple pages behind, but what struck me about that Ben/Lando interaction is that it honestly seemed like the kind of poo poo someone would do if they were desperately trying to shift the blame so as not to be the fall guy. The problem is that Ben comes from the Sandi Sorry Ben, the only person you can shift blame to is Chris, and he's made of Teflon. If you want to pin this on him you're going to have to provide evidence, not words. Good luck, Commando.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The problem is that Ben comes from the Sandi Yeah that video was the most hamfisted attempt at blame-shifting I've ever seen, which is actually what made it stand out to me as an attempt to blame-shift rather than just Ben saying something stupid. It honestly seemed like he had what he thought was a great plan (Oh I know, I'll just casually bring up Lando's leak and it'll lay the foundation for me not being in trouble) and then his social stupidity kicked in and he ended up self owning hard. Plus, like you said. If Lando's already gone full Office Space (and it sure seems like he has) no amount of blame shifting is even going to loving faze him. because why would it.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The dumb fucks ran their credibility into the ground while allowing an unqualified sycophant to treat their customer base like his own personal fansite. They fired or ran off anyone in the community team who was remotely professional and those who are left are publicly sniping at each other. It's a toxic community, a toxic workplace, and a toxic company. There is a pretty large range of what's coming though. I mean on the one hand we could see several of the heads and the visible figures in prison for fraud, on the other hand the shop could just close up and everyone move to another job. I feel like that's a pretty large difference in outcomes. I guess the end outcome still will be that the game fails, but for the people involved the outcome could be drastically different.

I agree, Fat Babies was amazing, and caused a huge witch hunt at acclaim back in the day. they where even monitoring internet usage to see if anyone visited at work. problem was EVERYONE was going there since managment kept talking about it, they finally blocked it.

Beet Wagon posted:Yeah that video was the most hamfisted attempt at blame-shifting I've ever seen, which is actually what made it stand out to me as an attempt to blame-shift rather than just Ben saying something stupid. This is the most plausible explanation to me. His comment didn't even fit in with what was going on at the time, so it sounded exactly like something he was trying to shoehorn in while they were on air. Poor Ben doesn't realize that Lando is flat out more likeable, simply because he's a weirdo scumbag. Like someone else said, he just seems like a guy you'd want to have a beer with. When does the Wing Commander 25th anniversary Ben-gasm Event start?

D_Smart posted:So, Q1/16 funding numbers (assuming all this poo poo is accurate) I'm looking at the graphs, and I wonder something. Like, there are lots of new backers every day, and even correcting for the "without ship" category it's suspiciously high. Are the whales purchasing each new ship with a separate account, to get referral points to their main? They could transfer the ships to their main then, if they don't care about giftability Plus they get those 5k lolcoins I guess. Are there downsides to this I haven't thought of?
