Sarsapariller posted:I agree with you, former employees are a very weak evidence if that was all it was. But their assertions have been backed up over and over again- there's photo evidence that she used the office for her theater project. There's now confirmation from Chris himself that they are married, which (indirectly) confirms that they've been trying to suppress it all this time. There's evidence that multiple people literally walked out on the 25th. DS said she'd had a screaming fit. The next day she was on a livestream and her voice was wrecked, they claimed it was from a cold. Then on top of all of that you've got people making the claim that she is an HR disaster. I'm just sayin' all those data points can be explained in terms that don't implicate Sandi as being a terrible human being. But if you are predisposed to think that way (misogyny) then it seems obvious to connect the dots in such a way that it is dispositive that she is. However, that is not indicative of the true state of affairs so much as it is (indicative of) a strong bias against women. I say lets give her the benefit of the doubt.

CEOs, and other powerful/high profile people, do that all the time but they usually use surrogates. CR not using a surrogate is an example of incompetence.

Now to just sit back and watch the screen with my weird droopy eyes as my letter storms the media and restores Star Citizen to greatness. Hm. I wonder if Sandi's done beating the intern, she'd like this."

hey if, for whatever unbelievable reason, we have an insider here that works at the Santa Monica office that's been lurking here i think we'd all appreciate it if you could drop some sort of anonymous note when Ben starts crying.

He said that they licensed the Turbulent software but did not invest in it for sale, which conflicts with Turbulent's own site and the article. He said that he didn't spend any backer cash on cars/mansions. Beyond that, mostly a wash.

As it stands Chris R seemed to have entered the ring with a verbal This is Bullshit, and there's not much he can do now. Either he releases a financial statement as requested by Derek Smart and he is showing the world that CIG is indeed in a financially stable position or he releases Squadron 42 next week, everything else seems to end in Star Citizen going Supernova. Fun times ahead. I could hear Ortwin screaming, No Chris, Noooo. Also why the hell is he trying to pull in Gamergate. Interesting that SA forums have pretty much uncovered most of the points raised by the article of escapist (which also makes me really wonder if there really were any sources involved at all) There's nothing really in there, that we didn't know already from the last thread. Unless DS is slamdunking the whole thing with his big uncover on Citizencon Day.

There is a significant difference between speculation, based on what some goons can see from the outside, and 7-9 employees coming from different e-mail addresses of people, that were confirmed to have worked for CIG, being able to confirm most of SA's speculation and add some additional poo poo waffles on top to boot. I mean cripes...I never once remember anyone on the outside so much as hinting that Sandi was racist in the office. Or the internal rage and unprofessional e-mail + office conduct of her and CR.

I would like to cordially invite anyone who will not be asking for a refund at this point to explain why. I can't promise anything from the other participants in the thread but I, at least, will keep an open mind and I am not asking in order to ridicule you. I'm genuinely curious.

Warren Buffet once said, "Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful". Now might be a good time to reconsider asking for a refund and instead double down on any investments. This post does not constitute investment advice.
