omg CHARGEBACK how many times do we have to say this?

It's not through paypal and I don't think my bank is going to take an almost 3 year old chargeback seriously, besides I'm not gonna be in Denmark for another two months anyway to do the paperwork.

So I haven't gotten my money yet and when I emailed to complain I got an automated email which means my old ticket was closed. It wasn't paid for through paypal so how do I get the Derek in on this? My refund was supposedly actioned on October 6th.

You don't, talk to Paypal.

Maybe the "REFUND" gif needs to be changed to "CHARGEBACK"

The first guy you talk to won't be able to help you, but that's what he's supposed to say. Ask to escalate, and explain to them the situation.

Frankfurt's new office is bigger. As will Santa Monica's be.

Doesn't exactly seem like a company running on vapor fumes, Derek. How sure are you about a company out of cash in Q1?

The Santa Monica move was already in the works. I tweeted about it weeks ago. The new office is the one with the $20K cappuccino machine and which was halted due to a dispute with the contractor.

Frankfurt (CryTek guys) is working with Foundry 42 (SQ42) to get SQ42 out the door asap.

They are doing a major downsizing of Austin to save costs. It's cheaper in Germany than it is in the US. Plus that's where they can get more CryTek guys.

Getting a larger office space is meaningless and has no bearing on their ability to complete and ship a game.

Yeah-- Frontier has pretty much done the exact opposite of CIG at nearly every step. The game isn't perfect but it's getting better at such an impressive (and quiet) pace. Meanwhile CIG can't shut up about what is coming yet delivers mediocrity in small portions so very, very slowly.

One day, I hope RedLetterMedia will give us the After Action report on this gigantic mess. Because dammit, the very best thing that came out of the prequels was his 8 hour takedown of them.

And Chris Roberts could one day star in a scene very much like this one

I'm watching the CCP Livestream and they've been talking about all sorts of stuff related to the game design changes, in-game events, and backend stuff on top of player gatherings.

Frontier's streams are always similar in that they have poo poo to talk about where as CIG just find new ways to talk about "it's being worked on but no idea when it'll be released" for two years straight.

I don't think RLM will do the video, but Jack & Ritch do Previously Recorded so they'll probably do something on it.
