I think the discussion is going too far now. We have no certainty what it meant in that chat. He might had already forgotten what he had said during teen years.
and the context doesn't look that bad if you include earlier quotes.


[18:44] <Byydo> it's crazy though, LOAF's little sister is like 5 years old and wearing a paper crown thing she made after watching Sailor Moon

Interesting list. So they are doing a 850 jump or something. Preying on wanna be whales for a small lux space cruiser.

Not sure what the superlative is for "blatant cash grab" but this shitheap is approaching new levels of complete sleaziness.

So many smoking guns creating so much haze it is hard to zero in on any of it anymore. loving incredible.

That dragonfly sale worked, relatively speaking. They have been having anemic sales since people realize they've been buying a never ending stream of concepts, but selling cheap LTI tokens for all the concepts everyone else has already bought generated a better than usual sale.

Question is if they had to transition to a gimmick LTI token sale to generate cash, how many times can they do that before those sales don't work anymore, and by extension how much money is out there for them to get if more and more people are getting disillusioned every day?

Colostomy Bag posted:

Agreed. Hell, I'm impressed you were able to parse that poo poo off of some whiteboard. Usually they have pictures of poo.

If SC still has 100 ultra whales. They might be tempted to sell 100 Bagel Carrier for 10k each. Keep in mind: There is always more (stupidity) - and it's always worse. That's not P2W. No Sir, since it will never make it into the game.

Tank Boy Ken posted:

Yeah. So if they sell it, it would naturally come with LTI. And be able to dock safely. I mean the other stuff is from before they actually worked on some mechanics. Considering the scope change, they had to refactor their insurance and persistence pipelines. The Bagel won't disappear when the player logs out, it just be in a quantum state (and thus unattackable), or some other bullshit.

"Just" selling a 100 Bagels will net them 1 million. It's just a question wether they have anyone left in their community with enough money (or the option to mortgage even more) to afford an "investment" of 10k $ into a single 3d model.

Ok, so after a while of dealing with Cloud Imperium Games, I have finally received a refund of $3000 USD.

After the terms of service change, I contacted CIG and requested a full refund.

Republicanus posted:

Ok, I've watched more than enough from Moma.

Moma, back about 20 years ago when I was in my mid thirties, I got my accounting degree before being hired to help design a niche accounting system (software). Studied for 18 months for the CPA test, but couldn't afford it until later when it required another 9 credit hours beyond my bachelors. I tell you this because you are a silly posturing oval office and there's no way you're an accountant or ever will be.

You are as sharp as a wet sack of hamsters (and I'm being loving gracious). You are not funny, informative, reasonable, logical, or honest. So, you contribute nothing but rancid fart-like posts.

You are ridiculously, remarkably, "get this on video"-type stupid. You gave a company 4 thousand US dollars for nothing but a promise and a constantly changing set of half-baked semi-legalisms and zero deliverables. You didn't even get a bucket of snot.

Now, quit pretending to understand anything about accounting. Shut up about development until you've done thirty meetings about one single module's untrapped errors.

Only post from now on about funny poo poo like your habit of eating poop, or smearing chicken fat on windows, or googling "the" and being confused about the world being so big.

TLDR; Quit pretending you are an accountant or are studying to be one. It's revolting to those of us who are.

EDIT: PS. Look up "Process of Discovery" as it relates to lawsuits. That will answer whatever foggy, dimly felt questioning feelings you have about why CIG won't sue anyone like the Escapist.

nnggghhhh the after-lunch coffee is kicking in.

I'll be real with you because you've grown a bit - MoMA, you've seen a few pages ago you can get your money back. Regardless of your belief in the game, of what Ortwin, Roberts, Blesnick, Sandi, whatever they have said. You can actually put forth just a little effort and you could have $4000 of your own loving money back. And, based on what.. gently caress how do I even say this part? Based on what.. I believe that YOU believe, if I am understanding your beliefs correctly, it won't actually realistically affect development of the video game.

It's the funniest loving thing, they don't know how to react to it.

"StreetRoller totally loving blackmailed them and hid behind the AG and DS, what a coward!"

Which is it, jesus... They can't even get their own narrative straight.

And even if SM came back, how does that erase the croberts lies that came before?

The fact is that if SM does come back, it goes against everything croberts has said the last time he talked about it.

Also my guess is that they will probably bring it back for two reasons

1) liability issue since it was something they promised. now that State/Fed authorities are looking up their skirt, bring it back in all its ganky glory, alleviates that issue

2) the Star Citizen PU (Persistent Universe) is utter shite. they need something fresh to keep people playing. so SM is just another disconnected half-arse module like Arena Commander and which will be a short term deflecting tactic.

Every one keeps saying the Star Citizen downloader uses their entire bandwidth, and makes everything else unusable. How does this even happen anymore? Even saturating your bandwidth with torrents only slows things a little.

I can't read the SC reddit without getting annoyed with some of their responses, I've personally never seen such vitriol, spitefulness and anger over something as simple as someone getting a refund for a product that has not been delivered.

I personally can't wait until it all collapses, all their money, hopes, and dreams gone, goons dropping from the sky to do what goons do, wreaking havoc while loling uncontrollably, the devastation will be breathtaking.

?/?/2012: I hear about a large kickstarter success - it was an ambitious space based MMO headed by some game developer from the 90's who was not John Romero.

?/?/2012 +1: Above experience moved to subconscious memory.

7/27/16: I find out from an internet comedy forum I joined that the project has been a complete money pit, the ineffectual developer and his (sort-of-want) wife moving from one blunder to the next. They have created an international video game company whose sole purpose appears to be creating an idea for a game and meeting celebrities. They have heavily marketed and sold this idea and those celebrities to a gullible group of people with vast amounts of disposable income. So afflicted by the sunk-cost fallacy, these individuals have transformed into a rabid cult-like fan base who zealously defend the existence and glory of the imaginary game which they have been sold. They are kept complacent by a series of decent looking .jpeg images and a bad Crysis mod. These fans, with the multimillion dollar corporation that strings them along, view a comedy forum and a self-professed internet warlord (who is also not John Romero) as a existential threat because Star Citizen isn't real.
