it was organized by a bunch of goons, who all listen to derek smart as dear leader, who want nothing more than star citizen to fail, because we are all paid by Big Publishers and fear what might happen if star citizen is succesfl

Golli posted:

I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the guild rep had two refunds processed..

The $45000 refund for guild assets using a corporate card, and a $330 refund for his personal assets. The guild rep even says that individual guild member refunds would collectively dwarf the $45k guild refund.

Swofford is being slippery, exactly what he is paid for.

Backer had expressed legit concern for backlash. With the story going wide, his fears turned real. Account now gone.

Of course CIG, in their infinite wisdom, decided to not only CONFIRM that a refund WAS real, but only cast doubt on the refund amount.

And it's stuff like this that some of the high profile backers don't publicize their refunds.

Plus he had specifically said that he refunded both the org $45K + his own $330 account. So CIG is obfuscating the issue as usual.

A janitor stands up and shouts, "BAH GAWD THAT'S DEREK SMART'S MUSIC" as the doors burst open. Derek walks in with a stack of papers. He slams them on the table and says one word, "Discovery." Ortwin hisses loudly before turning into a hundred small bats and escaping into the darkness.

After some follow-up questions, the representative informed me that a refundwas issued recently to one customer, but in the amount of $330. I asked if it appeared this was the same customer, and if this customer had perhaps doctored the correspondence to make it appear as if the amount refunded was $45,000.

The response I got was: "Yes to the first. Yes to the second…as best as we can tell."

even if the 45k refund was fake (and that's not definitive, cig can gently caress off I'm not believing them yet) someone still spent over $300 on this bollocks. That's not as impressive as 45k I realise but it's still $300 on an imaginary videogame, and they got a refund because it's still in pre alpha 6 years into development. lol

If CIG could make a game as fast as they can respond to anything on the internet that threatens their money fountain, they'd be half done with Star Citizen by now instead of only a hairs fraction done with a non playable demo.

what

the original screenshot showed 3 blanked-out pledges that presumably were the three 15k completionist packages and they never mentioned anything on reddit about a personal $330 account

unless you meant to mention that and forgot to post it before you deleted the account :tinfoil:

It's very likely the Reddit guy got harassed by citizens, who are very nice people who would never do or wish anything bad on someone who got a refund from a particular game.

Also a high chance CIG also attacked them.

Not everybody has the Derek-level amount of fortitude to yell back and threaten everybody in return.

Honestly I'd probably just close the account too instead of be afraid of crazy internet people. :(
