I know this guy is a giant bearded manchild with some of the stupidest opinions I've ever heard, but this is wrong. They've had arena commander tournaments because I remember making fun of the fact they couldn't even get like 20+ people for it. This idiot is just trying to market the stupid poo poo where 20 backers try desperately to wring every last nanosecond of gameplay out of the 5 minutes they've been given. "WORLD FIRST"

He's just continuing the Star Citizen tradition of using “WORLD FIRST” to mean “Has been done to death, discarded as being boring, resurged as a brief ironic hipster thing, discarded as not being hip enough, recycled through four different generations of indie development, and then promptly forgotten 15 years ago” — same as the high CRobster himself.

lol is this a thing that happened? I remember the OUYA (support?) twitter account tweeted the same thing, back when that console was released and people were having issues with it and were trying to reach support via twitter. That was another Kickstarter success story that ended up being a complete disaster, releasing an unviable end product with many technical issues and crappy games. I guess one can spot similarities with their marketing campaign and how they suckered people into backing that piece of crap. Their "free the games" stupidity comes to mind. On the other hand, CIG's marketing standards seem to be high enough so there probably won't be any horrible promotional videos for SC similar to that banned OUYA one.

Chris roberts and the VIP4 incident back when chris roberts was doing movies. He got regularly financed by company called VIP Medienfonds LLC http://www.imdb.com/company/co0170376/?ref_=ttco_co_3 http://www.imdb.com/company/co0139788/?ref_=ttco_co_4 http://www.imdb.com/company/co0116514/?ref_=ttco_co_2 How VIP Worked was following if you - during the 1980 until 2010 - placed money in some film productions, the german tax authorities didnt consider this as an investment, but a partnership on a production so you do have costs, not an investment and for costs goes the rule: they reduce your tax rate more costs, less tax to pay So it was attractive to invest in VIP funds and pay less in taxes. chris roberts and head of VIP originally met up during punisher film where he, andreas schmid and andreas grosch were acting as producers. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330793/companycredits?ref_=ttfc_ql_5 after which the funding continued in various roberts movies. Raising up whopping 750 million dollars in total  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1GUDQuFb1A&t=1248s http://ascendantpictures.com/about.html#cohist claims 250 million dollars in funding to produce 14 movies in 2003, the company was founded in 2002. in 2004 VIP4 package raised 350 million dollars and most of it was spend in chris roberts movies. The fundings was to be spend on film 100% and investors would get 100% of the income the movie would produce. But what ended up happening was that 20% of money was spend in making of movie and rest of funding gets funneled trough several companies into fixed deposit accounts However they matched that 80% of money with bank loans using presumably investor money as guarantee for loans. Unfortunately for investors however only 20% got spend in films leaving 80% of investment without tax benefits In addition Chris Roberts had to give 15% guarantee for investors . In case something went wrong during the movie shoot. But roberts never paid that money from his own pockets instead he used investor money to pay guarantee's. Even worse as movies started to bring in profit chris roberts would only pay 20% back to investors rest going into paying back loans and presumably again into fixed deposit accounts. Unfortunately after VIP4 the company was put in charges for fraud. and man in charge andreas schmid was jailed for it. at same time most of board in ascendant pictures left and ortwin joined in. http://web.archive.org/web/20071010064134/http://www.ascendantpictures.com/team.html http://www.ascendantpictures.com/team.html http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1405445/prosecutors-investigate-vip-medienfonds http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1405067/vip-funds-schmid-taken-into-custody http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1413780/germany-zeros-in-on-media-funds http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1412716/german-film-funds-near-shutdown http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1406177/german-film-funds-dismantled even worse for chris roberts he was in law suit with kevin costner over movie that never got made quote:from http://gameranx.com/updates/id/70033/article/the-chris-roberts-theory-of-everything/ Final nail for ascendancy pictures happened when 2010 a former investor of VIP went to court and sued VIP and major banks for damages. The court calls up several people to make a statement including chris roberts and ortwin freyermuth in previous cases both only talked via mail shifting the blame completely to the VIP but this time, the judges asked for answers and proof the set date was the 16.07.2010 on the 06.07.2010, cr sold his company to bigfoot entertainment invite for chris and ortwin for german court  https://www.bundesanzeiger.de on the bundesanzeiger site, there is a search bar Suchbegriff type: Rising Star hit the Suchen button on the left, you should get 90hits, go for Gerichtlicher Teil (9) there is a doc called Terminladund, date: 17.05.2010 judges called them for answers 1. was cr forced to use only 20 % of the vip money? 2. if he was forced, did he know that this was illegal? 3. how much money did they get for all of the rising star company stuff? 4. where are the contracts? 5. who signed them? 6. did cr know, that this system took away the majority of the income for the investors? 7. why did he say nothing? 8. why was he selling the entire company during the run time with the vip? Ofc everyone involved in the final days of ascendant pictures were also hired into star citizen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmY7nToxFJM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mhyO26bVVw http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-06-23-how-indie-film-financing-could-shape-the-future-of-games quote:When Chris Roberts and I founded Cloud Imperium Games to launch the effort, we were not only drawing on Chris' legendary abilities and track record as a game designer in this field, but also on a combined experience of three decades in independent film financing and production. quote:Rather than opting for the Kickstarter site, we created our own platform to establish a frictionless, direct relationship with the interested community. This allowed us also to fine tune our Terms of Use for a favorable legal and tax treatment. quote:We learned a lesson when our initial platform was not stable enough and collapsed intermittently during the campaign. Due to our limited funds, we had commissioned the site design to a small developer. (Kickstarter graciously allowed us to create a parallel campaign on its platform to receive funds during our site outages. We since used the campaign funds to partner with a Canadian platform developer, and together we have built a very stable and advanced platform which now is not only serving our site, but is currently readied for other developers who are interested in following our path.) quote:Any unforeseen changes in the development process would be reviewed and approved by experienced specialists who monitor that process - something very familiar in the film production process as well. The completion guarantor would assure that the project will either be delivered to the early buyers as promised, or return the funds. Based on the fees charged in the film business, the insurance premium for such a completion guarantee and associated monitoring would probably be around 5 to 7 percent of the development budget.) End of part 1. Hopefully i have enough material for part 2 Dark Off fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Mar 28, 2017 |

You guys are making fun of basketball but there is a 9 hour tender storyline where you teach a recovered Vanduul some B-Ball skills. This leads to Squadron 42 being resolved by a street ball tournament on their home world. Pusher goes for a dunk but is taken out of the game, and your vanduul team mate has to decide to hit the court to betray his world He is almost killed during a brutal foul, but manages to make both foul shots, signifying peace and the establishment of a treaty with humanity and vanduul

As you slowly fly around the asteroids to avoid his lovely civilian mining ship radar, you jump out from the shadows and shoot his engines. He starts freaking out, this is the 3rd time today. As he begins to slipstream away, you break his engines and sit in front of him. Getting out if your vehicle, you nipplejet to his cabin and clip through it... hes your 5th victim today.

I think it was something like that. But this VIP thing shows that CR and friends have form for taking money and playing shell games with it. The implications are that they have a lot more money than they're actually using to "create" SC and SQ42 and are literally floating front companies on a raft of bad loans which will disappear the moment serious legal moves are made.
