It's pretty obvious that their entire plan is to prolong development as long as possible to continue to get money. As soon as the game comes out (lol, that isn't happening) and everyone realizes it's an unmitigated disaster, his gravy train is going to stop. The illusion of a future game keeps the existence of their jobs.

They inevitably will have to hire a real law firm. At that point if the firm is any good, they will probably tell them to shutup and make some excuse about why pursuing a lawsuit is a poor plan, and they should just talk with Escapist about writing a story based on a tour + interviews with their current employees (something Escapist has expressed an interest in doing). It would be the best possible outcome for them. But, we are talking about our Lord and Savior Christo Roberto, whom can do no wrong, and the Romans are out to get him.

spacetoaster posted:Ok, unless Chris is insane, can you imagine the stress he's enduring right now? Yeah, I don't have pity for him. He brought this upon himself. Had they bothered to develop the skeleton of the original game and then iterated more out over months/years nobody would care if he never got it all done. The fact that they can't be hosed to even do that at this point is pretty damning, and his willingness to continue to sell more jpegs to fund his ridiculous idea just seals the deal in terms of his mindset. He has surrounded himself with a bunch of 'yes' people, he doesn't understand how development works, he doesn't have a real producer on the project that can actually reign in the stupidity, and he keeps selling jpegs to fund even more stupid ideas.

Has anyone tried to buy a spaceship and sent jpegs of cash in lieu of real cash and say the money is coming eventually, when I earn it, but I want the jpegs now?

Why does it take the VP of a 300 person company to approve refunds for small charges? That seems strange in itself. Every time I have ever needed a refund it has been a normal employee, or maybe a manager 1 step above, not jumping 6 steps to the VP.

Unfunny Poster posted:Why are the Escapists sources "poo poo" in your opinion? What qualifies you to make such a judgement? Don't you know, if sources don't agree with your 'version' of the 'facts' clearly they are all false. ed. I pity the true believers, but not as much as I laugh at their stupidity, and the amount of entertainment they supply me. I have yet to see an answer from a person that backed the game that legitimately answers the question of why do you invest more than the pre-order value in a game that isn't even released yet. You are putting your faith and money in a company that has done poo poo-all to deserve it. kordansk fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Oct 9, 2015 |

The Kins posted:A lot of people seem to be commenting on the Doom 3 similarities, but honestly, what strikes me is that the cinematography in this trailer for a $90 million megaproject is lacking compared to trailers for six year old Half-Life 2 mods that were made on a budget of half-fulfilled promises of beer. No it's pretty jarring. You have one trailer made by professionals, and the other made by a bunch of shithead kids that are talentless hacks.
