D_Smart posted:I completely believe that when (note that I didn't say if) this all goes to hell in a hand basket that they will pin the blame squarely on me. As croberts did in his diatribe where he dragged #gamergate into the mix, only those wankers on Reddit will attempt to drag Goons into it. I know it's been brought up, but never saw an actual reply: So what happens when they use some of the last of the money to (pay someone to) make something with indie/minecraft quality graphics; a game which technically fulfills their promises, but is utterly lackluster... with, say, the depth of someone's college roguelike project they worked on for a week? Obviously it would be egg on the face of the true believers, but wouldn't Chris Roberts be off the hook for everything (except any illegal business practices that occurred, discrimination, etc)? I mean, given the crowdfunding, if his actions aren't taken as fraud, that would mean he doesn't even have to deliver anything... but what if he does JUST enough?

Yeah, but is a court really going to look at game mechanics vs promises and say "nope, theres a game here, technically hits all the bullet points, but you can tell its not one that cost $90m"? Given that there's got to be a huge margin in "Well, we overspent on this and that, had to scale back... We probably could have done this for less, but we tried our best and this is what we've got." I guess stranger things have happened. I am thankfully ignorant when it comes to the justice system. E: I suppose, also taking into account, even Derek says they probably just pissed it away, not claiming it was all a con... JainDoh fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Nov 1, 2015 |

AP posted:Sure he gets a lot of grief too, just for being him but if he turns out to be even half right about all the bad stuff going on and especially the money remaining, we're going to have to get used to him being a hero and that's going to be a major shock to people who've been round the internet awhile. I fully expect he's going to be absolutely insufferable about it too. Plausible, but he'll pull something before then. I don't know what, but it'll be spectacular. And then, when everyone knows he's right and would grudgingly respect that? They won't even be able to do that much.

months later i still dont know if the people who put money (particularly over a grand) into star citizen deserve their money back chris roberts belongs in jail for some kind of fraud either way, but it's white collar (in more ways than one) so I doubt that will happen I mean if you gave someone over a grand for jpegs of potential video game starships you kind of deserve that loss... the people who profited off the grey market (aside from CIG etc) are kind of my heroes for this.

the concept that some people saw a crowdfunding campaign for a game which rewarded people for sinking thousands of dollars into it for starships... thought it was a good idea... and put thousands into it makes me think of the type of rampant consumerism driving games in general; . "Unggg! <brand> is back! take all my money before I can form a coherent thought!" WING COMMANDER YALL!!~~~ my new definition of a nerd is someone who gets hype over nostalgia/branding/marketing for a game, comic, or other entertainment.. and then blows a bunch of money on it BEFORE deciding if its a good product. just, on principle.

I'm the weird type of ultra-cheap motherfucker who bases at least some of my respect for others based on their intellect; particularly resource management. Despite the fact that other people's money is, in fact, theirs to spend as they want... I can't help but feel that anyone with over a grand in this would have been better served by escorts. I mean, that's ten blowjobs. The game comes out, it's great, but is it better than 10 blowjobs for every grand you dropped? To say nothing of the concept that if you have this kind of money in your entertainment budget, you could put it into something that would pay off in the long run instead. And still have all the entertainment you need. For instance, having just bought computer upgrades, a nicer TV, the things they already did in anticipation that this game would be amazing. Then, they could spend the rest on something like a vacation. Something that, while you don't get your money back, and it's an entertainment/luxury purchase, is actually worthwhile. Not an amazing video game. Those are worth maybe 60 bucks. Come the gently caress on, grow a brain. We're all laughing at you for a reason.

well we all like to make fun of people, but i'd say it's less about their definition of fun being odd. more "well, how much did you spend on... all this? wait, how much?" cause if they just like own a hotas and mic that's one thing, but if they have a $5000 mancave for fake piloting? much less air controlling? it's less respectable.

What the hell do you do aside from collecting unobtanium and slaughtering millions of pirates?

im more like ugh about this game first off, ugh a game whose whole premise is "give us thousands of dollars for a huge advantage" second, it may well all be a scam, which I would have more respect for if it looked like it was going to work out third, it's probably not a scam, just chris roberts wasting a bunch of money wishing he was a movie director

they may not fund a game, but they can fund as much cocaine as they want all they have to do is generate a huge list of codes for really expensive ships and sell them as though they were secondhand, then pocket the money is there even a crime to fit that under besides "fraud"?

I am now just waiting for them to release some actual content at which point I hope that my ship is still relevant and I'll get back to it, but I wouldn't use it as a perfect example on how it should be done. Well, at least the salient point is that it is an example -- as opposed to vapor. I don't think(?) anyone has spent thousands of dollars on ships in E:D, which is another mark in its favor.

I've wrapped fully around on my opinionated stance. These cats that got themselves in 4 or 5 figures of debt....and also did not win it all back on the grey market, or get a refund, or anything?
