How much for the cat jpeg, and how many do you have in stock? I'm thinking of making a substantial investment and reselling later.

Fraudulent filings and a super scammy refund process? You don't say! But I thought this was an honest company who was just delaying release to add more cool features.

SelenicMartian posted:CIG probably needs that $10 so much right now. Well someone linked to their forums and people at $500-900 pledge levels are scrambling to buy more jpegs to get to the $1000 threshold to pick up the stupid card before they "run out" on Sunday. It's a clever tactic to get more money from the imbeciles. And they happily get to claim that they're not making any profit off the actual $10 of that card cost, it's simply to benefit all the fans!

Furious Mittens posted:Sandi will eventually make the "Sandi Roberts (Gardiner) Star Citizen Commemorative Fleshlight". $10 for those at donation level over $5000. More realistically, Chris Roberts will just release a limited edition 3D printed mold of his dick so that all the whale backers can continue to get hosed by him even after this project burns to the ground.

Olesh posted:However, be aware that Paypal is NOT Visa or Mastercard. Paypal may tell you that you aren't allowed to dispute the transaction, at which point you'd be stuck with whatever CIG is offering as a refund short of filing a claim in small claims court. Your credit card issuer (especially if they're a credit union) is going to be much easier to work with in terms of explaining the situation and demonstrating the need for a chargeback/dispute after attempting to obtain a full refund, even outside the normal period - this is where CIG's shifting goalposts shoots themselves in the foot, as they've opened themselves up for this essentially from now until they deliver the Star Citizen product (Squadron 42 will NOT be sufficient). Paypal is traditionally much less accommodating, and you could be screwed. Paypal _does_ typically side with the customer, but they have their own rules. Very good point and why I stopped using PayPal for any purchases over $50. Unless you're using some sketchy debit card you want to protect behind PayPal, always pay directly with credit card. Always. Especially if you own some premium ones (AMEX, Chase Sapphire etc.) they pretty much have no questions asked instant chargeback to your account after which the vendor has to PROVE beyond all reasonable doubt that they delivered and to 100% of my satisfaction. I've never had a chargeback go back to vendor yet. In fact CCs almost always override dumb "no returns" or "30 day return only" policies and make those invalid.

I stopped paying attention after that, but when I next noticed it was in sour joke stage, right before things really got negative this year. It's because this year they have made 0 progress, bought $20,000 coffee machines, wasted millions on re-doing all the mocap, and doubled down on sales of jpegs to morons who can't help themselves.

skaboomizzy posted:Nobody has managed to keep the game running for more than 10 minutes. Jumping onto someone's "mutli-crew" ship causes a crash. Approaching a planet causes a crash. Blowing up space pirates causes a crash. Several times people haven't managed to get to the ship selector (which has one of the ship names bugged) before a crash. I haven't seen anyone do FPS yet, but some guy claims he played it for 15 minutes and will put it on Youtube. Everytime I see the game crash to desktop I keep hearing an airhorn in my head. We legit pointed out why they think is acceptable on the stream last night and the believers started shouting that we should go play consoles instead since this is the future of PC gaming. Just amazing.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:You can do such exciting things as: Um also the greatest FPS module in PC gaming, that according to Croberts is better than anything done in Battlefield or COD franchises to date. Found his quotes. "We want to make sure that the combat that you get in Star Citizen isn’t just a dumbed-down version of an FPS. We also want to make sure our FPS has its own personality. You shoot someone in the leg, they will limp and they won’t move as fast,” Roberts explains. “If you shoot someone in the arm, they have to go one-handed". This is already clearly evident in 2.0 which redefined the FPS genre for all future games. Crosshairs are now a thing of the past that we will laugh at while playing classic games.

Jethro_E7 posted:"To that point, the Constellation Phoenix has proven so popular that RSI produces only a select number every sales season, a tactic that has done well to preserve it’s high demand and resale value year after year. For 2945, Roberts Space Industries is proud to release another 5000 hulls, matching it’s generous rollout from the year before. This year however, in order to maintain a finite and limited stock, Cross-Chassis Upgrade to the Phoenix will not be enabled. This ship will remain on sale throughout the weekend, ending either when time runs out, or the limited stock is exhausted." Wow so they upped their production to 5000 again. All the doubters can now sit down and be silenced! They are delivering product and in high quantities. I will invest in this company.

How does this not wake them up? Even regardless of whether you agree that delays are acceptable or not, or what the stated vision of the game is etc. That stuff is NOT ok in any industry when your company does not have a released product yet.

Xaerael posted:I swear, the next time one of those CIG morons calls what they're doing "Crowdfunding"... People are also acting like it's a new thing for them. They bought a loving $20,000 executive coffee machine for their office earlier this year and the cultists didn't even flinch. They didn't even have 2.0 or ANYTHING out at that point that showed any progress. So now, spending ~$300,000 to outfit their new office with trendy furniture is acceptable to them when they could have done it with much more functional stuff for $25,000 total, tops. This will only escalate. They don't care about their expenses because the cultists are either ignoring it or defending this extravagant spending.

So to translate this to the real world, it's basically equivalent to me returning jeans to a store and getting store credit for it. Then if I want to buy jeans again, the store tells me I have to use cash and the store credit is no good. I can only use store credit for anything that's not jeans. If I already bought everything in the store before, then the store credit is completely useless in that store now. Is this what they're doing? This scam upon scam layering is confusing me.
