For those interested I'll be selling tshirts with "Derek Smart was right" on them in the future. I currently have concept art on sale for $15,000 each.

is that just for one or is it a package deal for all future concepts and imaginings as well?

EVE Online remains one of my fondest gaming experiences. The feeling that it was real and consequential was amazing. Pity the gameplay is so loving boring.

Yeah I reckon EVE Online's, no holds barred, sandbox probably inspired more people to fund SC. Perhaps those of us that are in the + in the spaceship trade should request our refunds be donated to eve to ramp up gameplay.

Yeah, even moreso because of his reflex eye-rolling instinct.

I'd post pics of it again, but since I assume CIG checks this forum periodically, I won't... I like the guy, don't want to see him fired, and can only assume his post-Escapist "I love CIG" PR campaign is happening under duress.

If CIG has purchased a SA account that would be the best thing that comes out of this whole mess.

I've spent $450 on spaceships and managed to turn them around for $1,100. I don't see what everyone is complaining about?

Complaining because I didn't buy more LTI Auroras when LTI 'ended'. Oh well I will have to add that to my time travelling list just under kidnapping Hitlers dog.

Tell them you were secretly in love with Sandi as you thought she was available and a kind and humble person with great social skills and you just can't handle the lies anymore. Or just simply add the suicide pic from the op.

What other gaming studio/company would benefit from CIG going under? Not to bail them out to save the day but to grab all the software assets and design with such a cult fan base. Could everything that has been created up to now actually be used or would it actually cost more in the long run. I have no idea how these things work I am just curious if anyother corporation are watching these events with glee , waiting patiently to pick up a bargain?

It should be telling to you that none of the other mainstream gaming related news sites have even touched this story as of yet. I wonder why that is?

Loaded up the launcher today for a laugh, due to reading this thread, for the first time since like nov/dec 2014, was greeted with the prospect of a 6-7 hour download that completely hogs every single drop of my internet bandwidth for the duration of the process. Said "no thanks" and uninstalled.

It saved you from the buggy experience of watching your spaceship turn around in space. Would probably have more fun on the forums or watching spaceship infomercials.

If I'd met them personally I'd probably feel more empathy. For Disco, I actually do- he got hired into an already deteriorating situation. But Ben's in a position to at least save some people a lot of money and heartache along with what remains of his self-respect, and the fact that he's still hanging on is pretty contemptible. It's not an easy decision to walk away from something you believed in. But sometimes it's the only right one.

How much has Ben invested. Perhaps he also has to play nice in order to get it out? Maybe he is the mole.

So hey Beer since you're banned you should totally have that show with Derek Smart.

lmao at Ben though, the dude is going to be CRUSHED when the realization that Star Citizen doesn't exist and Chris Roberts is a fraud hits. You think he'll go with the break-down route or get real angry at Roberts?

I think he will recover once his , tell all, story about CIG is ghost written and published. Who knows might even be big enough to actually warrant an interview on a reputable show especially if the law suit gains traction due huge headline amount. Also if a savvy editor can figure out the right alliteration for 'gaming company breaks crowd funding' headline.

Please stop discussing moderation here, you all know it's against forum Rule 7. If you have concerns about Beer's probation, you may provide feedback at support@cloudimperiumgames.com, by including "[Moderation Request]" in the subject line.

Our forums are not the place for discussing moderation decisions. Certainly you're welcome to your opinion (informed or uninformed) as to why Beer was put on probation and whether it was a fair decision or not - but the present forum policy is that moderation is not up for the sort of discussion that you're engaging in here. Maybe once upon a time it was permissible, but under the present rules it's not. Unless and until there is a change in said policy, these are the rules, so if you want to discuss this particular topic among yourselves, there are other places on the internet where I'm sure you're quite free to do so.
