Which I think is the only thing moving it from "lies" to "self deception" in my mind. It's still not the truth. And I see these guys roaming around, trying to convince other people to buy in by saying "this and that are available in game!" and it's a lie, and that annoys me. Even if you wholeheartedly believe that this project will be successful, moving cargo or the ability to earn ships or multiple star systems are not in the goddamn game. At best they are supposed to be. Stop lying to people, you pricks.

Edit oh for goodness sake, I've run out of pictures that aren't of a baby I'm sorry

Ironic that she thinks the chocobo is a chicken. When in reality they're the chickens. Too chicken to talk about SC at E3!

Goondolences on the loss of your tiny panda friend I will give my own panda catte extra belly rubs today.

I realize I'm like 2 years behind everyone else here, but are y'all saying that the fucky physics in pgabz's videos is because CIG married themselves to a geometry system that was fundamentally incompatible with the engine, after having been advised of that fact, and haven't been able to fix it for two years because they're too busy putting in a cash shop to play dress-up dolls?

And that it basically boils down to "CIG didn't understand floating point numbers when they started coding the physics?"

Someday I may be as jaded as the rest of you but that's incredible.

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

"By looking at these terms, you're agreeing to them"

"We may make changes to these terms, but you only agree by expressing clicking 'I Agree'"
Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

"Go gently caress yourself"

"Feel free to take us to court"

"I'm too lazy, you come here"

"If you're in the US, we're happy to accommodate you."

"We're coming after you if you try to gently caress with us, don't you dare"

"If you win, we make it worth your while and fire the jackass that screwed up. You don't even have to pay our attorneys, that's how confident we are."

Refunds

"Lol, no"

"You get a refund as long you don't try to claim we owe millions, let's be reasonable"

TOS Violations

"We can literally close your account and not refund you.... For whatever the gently caress we want!"

"We'll close your account if you try to steal information or break laws, we can't allow that poo poo. We also value our customers, so don't gently caress with them either. If we do close the account, you may still be able to get a refund, because that's covered under a different section. Look it up."

Just a few I could find, I'm sure there are more.

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.
