If you're like me and just read this thread for entertainment and haven't gazed into the abyss that is r/starcitizen, I highly recommend having a look. It's. Insane. These guys spend all their time fantasizing about tactics and crews and dreaming about the minutiae involved in space politics.. Holy poo poo. Before I was laughing about it "being a cult", but after looking over the subreddit, I'm leaning more towards "this is an actual cult." The only difference is these guys have deluded themselves into it.

SirPhoebos posted:I'm beginning to suspect that among everything else, CIG is also engaging in insider trading of the Grey Market. My reasoning is that so far, CIG decision making has always gone with the dumbest and most short-sighted EXCEPT it has not re-opened the market for limited-released ships. Doing so would be have predictable and disastrous results, but call me a cynic if I don't believe that's the reason CIG is making one smart decision out of a sea of bad ones. Instead, one or a few people at CIG are manipulating the market. Really, what's to stop them from making a new 'limited-release' .jpg out of thin air, and then selling it at huge mark-up on reddit?

Gwaihir posted:It won't do anything to other random vendors, but if you hit someone like Steam or Blizzard with a chargeback they will absolutely just ban your account. That's ridiculous. So if Steam fucks you over somehow and you (rightly) file a charge back they just steal all your paid-for games out from under you?

Variable 5 posted:None of this should matter. If you have a "total spent" amount greater than the value of the digital items in your hangar, you should be able to get a full refund of everything still in your hangar. To refund any less and to close the account as they seem to insist on doing is literally theft. No it's not. It's fraud.

I don't even understand why these Star Citizens would have any interest in playing a game that requires you to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a _regular basis_ to remain even remotely competitive. That doesn't sound like the "one true final game" that anyone would be interested in.

The Saddest Robot posted:You don't even have to spend the money to get those ships, you can acquire them in-game through normal means. This is just like a starter package. That's the funny thing though; if it was remotely practical (in this imaginary game) to simply play a lot and get those same ships, then they would never actually sell for thousands of dollars, people would just acquire them in-game for the most part. So either you can acquire them from playing and nobody would ever pay cash, or it's not practical and you HAVE to pay. And since these insurances (excluding backers LTI) are time-limited, that means gamers would have to be constantly dumping literal thousands of dollars into their accounts to keep up. So basically, this is Econ 101 and it wouldn't work either way. What am I doing I'm trying to dissect the marketing on a Ponzi sceme this is dumb.

This private investigator business is hilarious because it's not like he can follow employees to a parking garage where they meet with Mr. Smart in a trenchcoat and pass attache cases back and forth. All of these leaks would be taking place with personal email/IM accounts and there's no legal (and very few illegal) ways to even get ahold of that sort of information. This isn't a cheating spouse type situation.

Dr. Bitcorn posted:Realtalk folks I think CIG's code monkeys are furious that they're not getting a healthy slice (remember Travis Day leaving CIG like a week after talking about how great Arena Commander's new flight model - his baby - was coming along?) of CR's money pie, so they're sabotaging the game in protest. This actually sounds pretty plausible. I've worked with a number of dysfunctional software engineering teams and it's pretty obvious when the devs are just phoning it in to pick up a check and run down the clock, and the (shitastic) project managers try to put a pretty spin on everything to pretend like something's getting done. "See, look at this huge list of things we accomplished this week!" <insert list of useless filler crap>. It's the project management version of double-spaced lines on a school essay.

Justin Tyme posted:Derek Smart posted a screenshot of a forum he posted on that looked like a car forum and the guy's sig has some old 2006 as his daily driver. You'd think someone so financially stable working in the bustling big business world of Alaska would be able to drive something a little more nice if he is dropping G's on Fart Shitizen. I thought it was a SVX forum and the last of those rolled off the line in like 1994 or something My personal car is a 1992 but I could easily afford a 2015 5-series if I felt like being foolish with money (I don't)
