Like no one expects them to have furniture composed of milk crates and plywood and poo poo, but I'd be so pissed if I gave money to these people so they could have an MiG17 in various pieces throughout the office.

I understand some offices have decor that makes CIG look like a trailer park in louisiana, but there is just something so tacky and offensive about this to me.

Retribution
Part One

When I think back to that day, I'm reminded that it was the day that I let the darkness of the Galaxy take root in my soul in it's entirety. It's tendrils strangling what little hope I had to lead a normal life. I was certain that I had left my past behind me, that it would not interfere in my wishes for a regular life of working in a nine-to-five with a beautiful family. How wrong I was.

It was supposed to be a pleasant family vacation to Terra, a planet which I had been to countless times in the past when I worked for the UEE. My family didn't know of that past, however. In their version of my history, I had never left Earth just as they hadn't. I had been UEE Guard, a branch that never left orbit of Earth and protected its interests on the ground. However, I was much much more than a simple guardsman. I was what the UEE called a "Cleaner". Someone who took care of high priority targets when diplomatic avenues broke down. I wiped them from existence and made them disappear. It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it. Much better me than someone else who might make a mistake.

I'll start from the beginning of the story, so as not to confuse anyone who might read my memoirs. Judge me if you must, but remember...you weren't there.

How much does a space therapy session cost? This is operating under the assumption that a bloody mary is 5k space dollars and a space ship is only 20k space dollars.

I know that I'm just a random white noise poster, but I've been following these threads since the refund one that you posted anyhow.

I hope that my question isn't too personal and my apologies if so. I was wondering if before you were exiled by CIG, would you have counted Lesnick among your friends? Lately I notice you trouncing on him quickly (and deservedly) so I'm assuming there is no love lost between y'all now.

It just has me wondering how possibly Lesnick is losing friends and relationships, and if he even cares because there are a hundred sycophants to fill the void. Like LOL at this game because from the outside looking in, this game has done absolutely done nothing but ruin lives.

Just some thoughts I had last night when the power was out...~

Pretty interesting stuff, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Of all the people in this, Lesnick probably intrigues me the most. Roberts and his wife are obviously trying to live in some fantasy land. I think Ben is as well to a certain extent, but it's hard for me, personally, to fathom how one could be in such a fantasy, while daily crushing dissent on the forums and all. I think watching his fantasy turning into a nightmare probably contributes a lot to his poor health.

Also I still don't really understand his place in the company. To me, he seems just like a forums admin but I guess he's a "developer" too so gently caress it if I know what he is other than King Toadie

Ugh, I wanted to write an appeal to Lesnick to do the right thing, to exit with some grace, but whats the point, the fact is these people cannot be reasoned with.

edit: Thanks again for more info. Reading all of this poo poo makes one thing for certain, is that this game WILL go down in history books. Unfortunately it will be in the same chapter of games like Duke Nukem Forever.

To OP, I think it is indeed a problem, that game-devs are scared to make a move where they actually give females the disadvantages that they physiologically should have; like not being able to sprint nearly as fast for instance, or hit nearly as hard in hand to hand combat. In this case, it would not even have to be done to a large extent, just enough to make people consider whether it's worth getting a female character solely to the smaller hitbox - after all this way, there are a few drawbacks.

At the end of this project, would I consider Ben a friend?

I have no loving clue.

I doubt he has one either.

That's sad :(

Funny, in an earlier post I was going to mention my experiences with the Army. Not regarding "thank you for your service" poo poo, but the feeling of sticking with a job even though you hate it to the core of your being and all, and how I can sort of empathize with Ben (in a vacuum, his actions negate a lot of my empathy)

Gotcha. I assume there couldn't be any potential fallout of the chargeback getting denied, correct? I don't want CIG trying to sue me for "stealing" their product or something dumb like that. I don't know poo poo about the law behind the process, let alone the process itself beyond the post Beer made a few days ago.

I mean, thats kind of why the bank is there. You're claiming that you didn't receive product. The bank sends probably a certified/registered time sensitive piece of mail to CIG asking whats up with this.

CIG either proves they delivered or not. The bank rules judgement and thats it. I'm sure CIG can ban you and all of that, but I can't imagine in what universe that filing a counter suit would work out for CIG. Unless you're a whale in for like $35k, it wouldn't even be cost effective of them to file.
