Thank you mr smart for saving me, started the refund process a month ago and actually came out ahead. Great news for me as I was into this scam for 5k.

Has anyone in this thread actually gotten a refund? if so, for any significant amount of money? I wonder if they are refunding the small stuff and ignoring anyone with significant expenditure.

I had $5200 into this, started the refund about a month ago. Got 3300 back from cig and sold the remainder to silly redditors. They like going down with the ships

Congratulations. Did CIG put up much resistance?

It took about 2.5 weeks, but that was a month ago. I think the flood gates have been opened now.

i would love to know what made you pay anything above $60 for a video game

I had a lot of multiples, mostly hornet or 300 varients. I guess the plan was just to sell stuff to the people that didnt get in on the ground floor. There was a gogle doc with goonfleet on it in one of the old threads. Also I went full neckbeard and tossed abunch of disposable income at it.

Was going to put a ome 2.5" lift on my 4runner and add some new bfg ko2s. Im also thinking a new webber grill would be a great idea to cook up some burgs on while I watch the fallout of this.

Because I've been actually following the development, I've seen all the videos, read all the articles and seen how enthusiastic CIG are to make this game. I've met Chris Roberts in person in Melbourne last year. To those who follow development at the source rather than take the word of anonymous goons and trolls on the Internet, it's pretty clear the progress SC has made.

Bro you still don't have your FPS and that was supposed to be out in March by their own timeline.

The SC subreddit has already spammed it with Derek Smart theories, GamerGate, and claiming not only that the sources have been discredited as Derek Smart, but that reddit figured it out.

If you mean the crowfunding money and not Croberts personal cash then that is impossible because company money and personal money are very very different things from a legal perspective.


How does an adult even think something like that could happen?

Well it's a "private company", and while i'm no big space court lawyer, I doubt any judge is going to not split up the cash. Regrardless of the iou jpgs that have been sold. He was supposed to be done collecting at 65m anyway.

It isn't talked about much but has anyone kept track of all the big names / positions that have walked away from this. I seem to recall mad talent either bouncing on the cult or getting let go.
Eric Peterson, Chris Olivia, Martin Galway (these 3 were original founders with no neck and croberts), Rob Irving, Travis Day, Alex Mayberry, and David Hobbins. Is this a normal turn over in the industry

Derek disappoints, as usual. Btw the ship will almost certainly be the Prowler, due to Ben stating its not the Crucible, and shares a name with a ship from Wing Commander and it's the only ship besides the Crucible left in the line up that is still unseen. It's pretty simple to figure that out if you follow along.

Gryphon, whats it going to take to get you to leave the cult. Im prepared to assist in a intervention on your behalf.

For months CIG has been showing us new animations, features and assets in the Star Marine updates and at times the FPS portion has looked passable.

Yet in the Citizencon demo none of those things they've shown in the past months were present. Either the FPS build was never integrated or the process is so hosed up it's better to show nothing.

It would also affirm that DS was right about the FPS being janky and held together by nerd sweat and cheetohs powder.

What I really can't wrap my head around is there haven't been any new stretch goals since 65m. How does he validate taking more money to produce this.
