AlmightyPants posted:Before last July came along and the crobbers started their war with Derek, who was the opponent or boogeyman or whatever that the cultists hated? I've only been paying attention since November 2015, so I have no idea who they blamed for all the ills of the world. There was a lot of Goonrathi trolling and general goonfear in the early years but it was in the context of the game actually coming out and being good. By mid-2015 there were a lot of people wondering what the gently caress was going on, but I don't think anyone was blaming them as a whole for the delays. The apologists were mostly using the same excuses you see now- "Expanded scope! Two weeks away!" - but without the boogeyman that DSmart represents. Mostly Illfonic and the other subcontractors were getting the heat for not living up to Chris' vision.

i lurked the SC thread for awhile in 2013-14 and while it wasnt nearly as culty it definitely was super fanboy with similar talking points.

Movie scripts have tons of empty space and I have to imagine thats the format they went with because Chris thinks he's a writer/director. It'll be a TON OF WORDS but nowhere near a million

Christ, I have to read this fiasco of a thread in shifts. Sadly I enjoy it. Welcome new members. Be sure to send in your goon paperwork addressed to Internet Warlord. The post office will know what to do with it. So I take it we can set the "Last hosed up day" back to zero?

Just to keep things straight as I learn them: Star Marine: A game which was abruptly cancelled close to release, said to be "rolled in" to the SC main game with (surprisingly) little to no backlash Squadron 42: The most expensive and worst episode of Red vs. Blue not coming out this year Star Citizen: The main imaginary game Am I on point here? Also, I don't get the Persistent Universe, is that part of the SC main imaginary game? What is the difference if SC is suppose to be an MMO, shouldn't it be persistent anyway? Why make this special name for it?

I've only been paying attention since November 2015, so I have no idea who they blamed for all the ills of the world. It's been a rotating series of things, but the "Boogeyman" poo poo really took off when doubt started surfacing in their own minds. I followed it from the 30 millions when goons started making fun of it in 2013. They were still smug then so the ENEMY was "big publishers" that would be defeated by Chris Roberts. Then the ENEMY was goons because Goonrathi was setup with more than a quarter million worth of ships. All of that was in the context of the game being made though (a sure thing because it was 2013 / before the deadlines in 2014 with record breaking funding and not enough time to start doubting.) Our mocking was mostly limited to like 50 people and even then we were fighting among ourselves because Games was full of True Believers. It wasn't until Star Citizen started missing deadlines by years (2015) that they really started going crazy with an ENEMY being the root of all their problems. We are two years late at this point, it's evident that the best case is they aren't getting the game they paid for, and there are signs everywhere the project has already failed. That's why you see people thinking derek smart and something awful are in a conspiracy to take Star Citizen down. IT'S NOT GOING DOWN BUT IF IT IS IT ISN'T MY FAULT! I WASN'T STUPID! This step with blame shifting (or rather the severity of it) is unique to Star Citizen as other failed games projects didn't quite have the perfect storm of autism / desperation / depression / money / incompetence / dreams / delusion / time that's caused a hurricane of poo poo. They are hanging onto their doorframes screaming that the weather service's constant sirens had made them complacent and it's someone else's fault they are about to be blown through 200mph shitwinds. The closer it gets the louder they will scream it's someone else's fault. Derek is just a crazy person driving a stolen ice cream truck through four feet of poo poo yelling over the loud speaker that he told everyone, and everyone caught in the storm is accusing him of purposefully causing it so he could say he is right about it to justify why they are dumb enough to be caught in it.

Crobbers posted:My gut sense is that 5 to 10 percent of your audience is going to back you early, and I think that number is variable based on the quality. I think he's out by 90-95%. I suspect that he's got 80% of his entire pre-firesale audience, although I'll admit that it's pulled from the same place as Crobbers pulled his, it's just that it really needed a successful alpha before throwing out the 'free' weekends and having the citizens question their investment.

So I was told this was the CIG Leavers Outreach forum, right place? My name is ripptide and I'm a dirty leaver. Lurked the SA forums for a while then went into withdrawal when the paywall went up so I joined. First things first  cat pledge taxxe, back pay for all the lurking.... So, on to the steps to recovery: 1. Beer, good to see you still around. May not have always agreed with you on the CIG forums, but always loved your posts 2. Big thanks to Derek for keeping the info going on this on-going shite show and reviewing the emails 3. Thanks Streetroller, between the new ToS and seeing you get your refund, pretty well tipped me off the fence My process was probably a bit easier thanks to the scare you and some others have put into them. First email asking for a refund, gave them 7 days with a warning I would file with FTC and LA DCBA after that. All I got was the automated CS response ("Please stay on the line, your call is very important to us").  After a week, I still had no response, so I sent a second email, and filed with both the FTC and DCBA.   Funnily enough, I had a response waiting for me on Monday that they were reviewing my account, and by Wednesday they had refunded me over half of the amount. Still fighting with them about that but realistically not too hopeful.   So yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Crobbs. P.S. - BTW, does backer money pay for the multiple shill accounts on this forum? Just curious

Dante80 posted:This is demostratively untrue. CIG has been using their own netcode since 2013...and loving it up along the way. No legacy code exists for networking. The hype train grinding to a halt should scare the true believers more than anything. Nothing new to show in how long? Nine months? You would think that as the game is supposedly coalescing into something playable--making new hype videos would be easier not harder. Yet the best CIG's co-founder and VP of marketing and vaporware can deliver is a CD filled with old promo videos.
