Wait. Citizencon is 9 days long? WTF are they going to do for 9 days? What, is it an hour a day? Real conventions for real things and even entire industries, like, say, gaming, don't last that long.

Iron Tusk posted:Remember that the person that you sell them to can just turn around and do a charge back. At best it means your conscious will be stained with heaping misery on another human being. No need to take the charge back risk when you can also do the right thing for your soul and request a refund instead.

AP posted:Citizen Con is all set to go, the staff have been whipped all year until there's something to show. I genuinely feel sorry for Erin Roberts and the Foundry 42 crew. Having met him in person I get the feeling like he genuinely wants this to work and is doing his best in spite of his brother's inability to do a drat thing. He's like the anti-Chris.

Oh, ok. I still think it's ridiculous to have a convention about one game that that is years from release and has no previous fanbase... I expect it'll have a lot in common with that infamous tumblr-con-- the one where they passed around the hat asking for donations to pay for the hotel convention hall.

Foundry 42 will probably keep going, I'm sure they charged CIG/RSI handsomely for their work, Erin I think has a majority stake but he might want to sack the other two directors.

I expect him to take charge and run out SQ42 with what remains of the funds. He's a capable developer (at least the most capable they now have there) and is the best chance for things to still get to the point of a release.

Think I'll leave my 65 bucks in there unless I can sell it to someone else for more. Best case scenario, they're all insane and the game turns out awesome anyway. Worst case scenario, I'm out 65 bucks I spent like 4 years ago.
