As long as they don't get arrested it doesn't matter what happens. Chris, Sandi, and Co, have prob already grifted 10m+ out.

aleksendr posted:Would you think possible that due to poor planing they are caught in a kind of "engineering ponzi scheme" where new sales of ships are actually paying for infrastructure and maintenance instead of progress on the game and that the only way out is to "sell more ships that wont exist for a long time" so they can hope to finish the game someday ? I think that is exactly what has happened. I do not think Chris realized just how expensive of a gently caress up he made when he decided to make 2 games rather than concentrate on having a new studio completing one to begin with. Chris would have NEVER organically risen to CEO of anything because of his inability to stay on loving target. His history of scope creep on any and every project he touches is the real kiss of death and there will be no loving bail outs for him this time.

He really likes that threat about having some kind of power he has to restrain so as to not violate constitutional rights. If he even works for the government, he's probably a mail worker or low level office drone. Hurry up and sort that mail Gremlich!

CIg should start selling plots of land for people's bases or homesteads or whatever. Just have some of the artists crobble together some basic city layouts and then surround them with ~1000 plots of land each. Shitizens will trip over themselves in their hurry to pay thousands of dollars each for the largest/closest pieces of land.

Yeah, and Garriot is already doing this, so I'm actually at a loss why Sandi hasn't pitched this idea to Chrios yet.

An actual FED with actual power to do anything against someone on an online message board would have just up and done it, rather than running his mouth.  I'm betting he's either unemployed and claiming money to eat from the gov or just one of those really short blokes with a Napoleon complex, or even a combination of the two. If you can read this Gremlich, get your moms nipple out of your mouth and do something about it.

Also - and I'm afraid I'm stating the obvious here - even giving Gremlich the benefit of the doubt and taking him at his word that he's some kind of Turbo G-Man or whatever, how loving mentally ill do you have to be to threaten to leverage the power of the federal government against someone because they made fun of a video game on the internet?

I believe in order to judge the level of mental insanity required we would have to consult the 'Gremlich chart' of online retardation, that guy registers a factor of at least 9.5 Gremliches. It's always loving 'registers' in one way or another with citizens isn't it?

Assuming he did work in some kind of position where he would have any kind of legitimate authority to threaten Constitutional protections: It would be a really impressive and embarrassing way to lose your job as an FBI agent or similar, wasting years of effort, and gaining a permanent black mark on your record against getting any comparable government jobs. I had a great job as a special agent, but I blew it all on trying to get warrants against some person posting bad things about Star Citizen.

Pretty sure this was in the plans some time ago when they showed concept art with an ad selling an apartment or something on a screen. This was over a year ago or so though. They're probably trying to figure out how to do that when they came out with the "social module" except it was a disaster that employed explosive buggies, and showed the community in general that the great ideas of role play in the universe will actually be terrible. Instead of continue it I think they basically just stopped working on that module.

Pretty bad.  I hope that people who have actual power of government and can for real hurt people aren't defending CIG. They may eventually help prosecute it though, once they are educated about it (and stop asking "Are you serious?" after every ten sentences).

I'm not government but I'm in a professional environment and we don't act like what Reddit seems to think real people act like. I doubt most of these people who talk like that even have jobs, and if they do it's something like a cashier or something. There's a very real disconnect between what these people feel like reality is (tv and movies), and how real life actually works.

Come back and talk to me when you are in your late 40's about that career. Continued Gov. service means he has no position at all and is more than likely a sub contractor or paper pusher. This guy is delusional if he thinks he is one of those White Hat Digi-Spooks. Those fuckers fly waaaaay under the radar and do not talk about a damned thing. That is why they are so effective.
