I like seeing people argue saying that CIG's ToS is no different than any other gaming company. Putting aside the legality of the fact that every other ToS refund policy begins when you RECEIVE a product versus when you PAY for a product, let's compare Terms with a company that won "Worst company of the year" TWICE --- Electronic Arts! This is just what I could find. Agreement to terms CIG/RSI posted:PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“TERMS OF SERVICE”) CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON AT THE END OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE BELOW, OR BY USING THE https://www.robertsspaceindustries.com WEBSITE AND RELATED WEBPAGES (THE “WEBSITE”) OR RSI SERVICES OR ANY OF THE CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE WEBSITE OR THE GAME LAUNCHER.

Revisions to terms affecting existing EA Services shall be effective thirty (30) days after posting at terms.ea.com. Terms for new EA Services are effective immediately upon posting at terms.ea.com. EA will not enforce material changes to this Agreement against account holders absent express agreement to the changed terms. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration CIG/RSI posted:If you and RSI are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or RSI may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND AND HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Electronic Arts posted:The only disputes that are not covered by this Section are the following: CIG/RSI posted:Any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and RSI agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Electronic Arts posted:If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location convenient for you. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Mateo, State of California, United States of America, and you and EA agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. CIG/RSI posted:Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, RSI will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Additionally, in the event any legal or administrative action or proceeding is brought by either party in connection with these Terms of Service or the RSI Terms and consistent with the terms of this Section, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all of the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party as the result of the action or proceeding. Electronic Arts posted:If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against EA and issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than EA's last written settlement offer made before written submissions are made to the arbitrator, then EA will: Refunds CIG/RSI posted:The Pledge shall be earned by RSI and become non-refundable to the extent that it is used for the Pledge Item Cost and/or the Game Cost, with your Pledge being applied as follows: first to the Pledge Item Cost, and then on a pro rata pari passu basis with all other contributors whose deposits have been deducted by the relevant Pledge Item Cost, to the Game Cost. Accordingly, you agree that any unearned portion of your Pledge shall not be refundable until and unless RSI has ceased development and failed to deliver the relevant pledge items and/or the Game to you. Electronic Arts posted:Once you have redeemed your Entitlements, that content is not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable for other Entitlements or for cash, or other goods or services, subject to any rights of return you may have under Section 16 or under any applicable consumer law in your territory.

Our home feels too empty, I need another fur baby to pet. This is the one I have on hold: His name is Pooter. He's a ragdoll so his eyes are like, crazy blue. They just go limp when you pick them up, more like dogs than cats tbh.

Goobs posted:I'm actually starting to get into fpv drone racing. It's really crazy how fast these things go (125 mph). The tech is really cool too, you put on VR goggles and it's like you're pod racing I'll..minus the dying horribly in a fire part. That's awesome. The issue of drone interception is going to be a big one in the coming years. It could spawn some very cool interceptor drone designs.

Goobs posted:Kitsa had diabetes too but then reverted back after a severe diet change but I think near the end lately he reverted back. He had a laundry list of problems but he was spoiled rotten. From one catte owner to another, my deepest condolences Goobs. Butters (my catte) had similar issues, he had been up and down like a yo-yo with his health most of his life, had cancer when he was 4 which meant he had to lose a fingat (or toe?) from one of his front paws, then he started getting food allergies so I had to constantly ween him off one type of food onto another until he had almost exhausted the possible food types he could eat. Last week he finally succumbed to Feline infectious peritonitis, which is incurable and only in very rare cases, manageable. I'm collecting his ashes tomorrow so he can spend eternity in his favorite place, and when I shuffle off the mortal coil, I'll be joining him in that spot.

Sperglord posted:If you look at a lot of CIG's behavior, much of it is driven to give the illusion of success and importance. The cons, the lavishly decorated offices, this is the trapping of a con. He looks successful, so people think he is successful and give him money. Established companies with a proven track-record don't need to do that. I don't know if you've been to San Francisco but lavish offices are totally standard. Then again these are companies that successfully launched IPOs so I guess it doesn't matter but I totally did a tour of AirBNB, rode around the office on a razr scooter and ate some slaughtered lamb from their chef while having some great craft beer in their cafeteria.

Great TOS comparison. Also notable is simply how they're written - you can see the difference when you have professional lawyers and people familiar with game development, vs the hacked-together ambulance-chaser cheap imitation that CIG puts out. The writing styles are worlds apart. It's just another example of CIG not being a real game development company, but rather one that looks over at other successful ones and attempts to imitate what they're doing, without really understanding it.

That's true, but then AirBNB was trying to impress funding. For CIG, I think that a lot of the extravagance is to give backers a sense of security, because CIG behaves how backers believe a wildly successful company should behave. Let me rephrase my previous comment: everyone tries to look successful when they are aiming to impress. CIG is just exceptionally blatant about it.
