Holy poo poo I got bored today so I paged through this thread again for the first time in a while.

It's just full of MoMA arguing legal defense for the company he works for.

I don't think even Derek can be arsed to post here anymore.

Star Citizen has simply faded into pointlessness.

There's stuff that's just fine, but you have to zone out and blur your eyes as you pass MoMA. He is aggressively boring and dense.

"Ben Lesnik, Developer was found dead yesterday clutching his Killrathi necklace in a dumpster behind an LA restaurant, that is said to be Chris Roberts favorite place to eat. After the end of the controversial crowd funding campaign of Star Citizen, Chris Roberts elegedly having scammed an estimated of at least 50 million dollars while all his employees have been shitlisted in the industry for life, it was downhill for the ex-community manager and Wing Commander curator Ben Lesnik, Developer. Disgruntled backers have been seen setting his car on fire multiple times, killing his wife's pet turtle and throwing poo poo at his house outside LA. After trying to start his own crowd funding campaign: -Save Star Citizen-, that failed spectacularly and receiving multiple death threats from backers of the original campaign he proceeded to write a book about his time at CIG which was received with equal hatred by the former backers."

RSI agrees to use its good faith business efforts to deliver to you the pledge items and the Game on or before the estimated delivery date communicated to you on the Website. However, you acknowledge and agree that delivery as of such date is not a firm promise and may be extended by RSI since unforeseen events may extend the development and/or production time. Accordingly, you agree that any unearned portion of your Pledge shall not be refundable until and unless RSI has failed to deliver the relevant pledge items and/or the Game to you within eighteen (18) months after the estimated delivery date.

For the avoidance of doubt, following the Cancellation Period, in consideration of RSI’s good faith efforts to develop, produce, and deliver the Game with the funds raised, you agree that any Pledge amounts applied against the Pledge Item Cost and the Game Cost shall be non-refundable regardless of whether or not RSI is able to complete and deliver the Game and/or the pledge items. In the unlikely event that RSI is not able to deliver the Game and/or the pledge items, RSI agrees to post an audited cost accounting on the Website to fully explain the use of the amounts paid for Pledge Item Cost and the Game Cost. In consideration of the promises by RSI hereunder, you agree that, following the Cancellation Period, you shall irrevocably waive any claim for refund of any Pledge that has been used for the Game Cost and Pledge Item Cost in accordance with the above.

Extract from the current ToS.

Does this mean that all CIG needs to do is basically update the "estimated delivery date communicated to you on the Website" to automatically enjoy another 18 months grace period attached to it afterwards?

What is the current common practice in cases where a user (for SC or other online services/products) decides not to accept an updated ToS? Does he or she get anything back at all?

This sort of thing is why I never understood why PC 'journalists' and tech experts use Crytek engines as a benchmark for testing new video cards, when the engine itself is so lovely. Of course Star Citizen adds another layer of poo poo frosting but still, it's already a poo poo cake.

Why don't those benchmarking sites use Unreal or something instead, always annoyed me.
