If the TOS includes provisions that bar refunds and also allows them to close accounts at any time for any reason, why aren't they just closing the accounts of the people they no longer want involved in the community and keeping the money like the TOS says they can instead of banning them AND giving back their money?

When you think about it they're rewarding leavers with their money and punishing the whales by squeezing them harder to pay for refunds.

Those poor whales.

Makes for a better sob story in 6 months or a year when they have to weepingly broadcast the final episode of Around the Verse and tell everyone the money is gone (sorry guys I guess you just don't care enough about saving pc gaming)

MoMA doesn't work for CIG. CIG refactored the employment contracts and brought-in self-employed personnel. MoMA works for himself :gary:

Challenge CIG. I double-dog (Leagle) dare you.

The last time such a challenge was issued over the ToS, it didn't work out so well. Since then, refunds remain an on-going event.

But don't you worry though, I'm sure the challenge is coming. Just try not to disappear when it does; like the last time.

If they suggested that in court, they'd have a hell of a time explaining to… oh… the entire EU (and most likely a number of other places) why they're charging VAT. Insinuating that you're insolvent or that you're committing securities fraud while as part of your legal argument is pretty darn bad; suggesting that you've committed EU-wide VAT fraud on the order of tens of millions of dollars is even worse. :D

And that's before we even get into the whole business of being a registered charity or similar organisation that can actually receive that kind of donation, or the whole business of their very clearly promising the “pledgers” services and goods in return for, and (supposedly) commensurate to those pledges purchases.

I agree it's pants-on-head stupid, but my point was that they're pretending to get donations rather than pretending to hold pawned items.

"You're making a donation, not a purchase" is the argument failed Kickstarters have always made in court, with varying degrees of success. In the US, anybody is allowed to collect donations, it's just that the only cases where you can use those donations as tax deductions are when they are made to appropriately registered charities. Making a donation to CIG, if anybody was stupid enough to actually do it, would be indistinguishable legally from giving a panhandler a dollar. Of course, buying jpgs from CIG is not in any way making a donation to them, no matter how much they pretend it is.

From what I've heard, loading a singleplayer module now takes 2 seconds instead of 4. Real MegaMap was delayed again to 2.6.2.

MegaMap is the name for some sort of map-streaming technology that only loads whatever is close to you and will let you transition between the different modes of play instantly. MegaMap is "in" but it is not used to transition between the different modes of play and the maps are loaded in their entirety when you play.

So, MegaMap is in, but not its main features. I hope that helps.
