He mentions goons being "robbed and betrayed by their leaders at least twice" which means he's been traumatised by goonfear after playing EVE, having not understood that all of that is explicitly part of that game.

We're still faxing dicks to one of them*, so it's not like they get away clean. Then there was that time we teased the CEO into fuckgoons and a multiyear bro-war. I still have screenshots of the day we lost sov because much hilarity was had.

Seriously, people claim they want a sandbox right up until the gang of bigger kids rolls them, but most of the time the people who get seriously hosed over were greedy and didn't do the basics of checking why a recruiter needed money up front. We give a life lesson and they go around complaining about teachers.

Lol - more armchairing by OSC and/or Derek-alt (I don't know and I don't care either way). Fact is, ToS are upheld in case law very regularly (Wireless providers, cable providers, etc) and there are cases where they are not. It's case law and up to interpretation by the presiding court. Even though CA has strong consumer protection, CA tends to favor the UCC and business (especially small business) to allow for the flow of transactions.

Fact is, they have not been legally challenged, and if so, it'll most likely fall to arbitration. CIG has been happy to oblige refund requests. I'm not sure why some still see them as the bad guy. People need to be smarter with financial management instead of blaming the business.

You're pissing up a tree. We're not talking about "case law", we're talking about consumer fraud which is what Star Citizen is now, based on their on-going practices. Pay attention, and stay focused.

I remember back when you claimed refunds would never be a thing. Then they were.

loving LOL if you think they're ever going to get to walk away with $156M of backer money "Because ToS".

True dat. There's diversity aplenty in camp goon. I've never once told someone to get a refund and in fact once kicked Streetroller from Discord because I was suspicious of his intentions. (If I never apologized for that Streetroller, sorry, it seemed conspicuous at the time. Your appearance on that livestream with Jim Brand is still in my top #5 favorite thread memories and I could've prevented it from happening due to paranoia. My bad!) Yet we have our refund facilitators and to those they've helped get refunded, they've done something genuinely positive.

There are some here with destructive intent, others constructive or instructive. Lawful, chaotic, good, neutral, evil. Most agree something has gone wrong, many assume horribly, with the project. Some want things to go horribly wronger, some want things to get righted, some want to laugh and don't care about outcomes because lol either way.

The same diversity exists in the community and despite the standout wretched folks and true oddballs, most are just space gamers hoping that some great games will come out of this unusual arrangement. The Middle Ground is wide, quiet and passive. The noise, fury and cannon fire proceeds from and between parties in Dark Space and Hyper Space. But not all in Dark Space have Dark Intent, just Dark Conclusions, and not all in Hyper Space have positive methods, just positive expectations (or positive incentives to feign them.)

Taste the rainbow, all ye who would stereotype us. Diverse the Verse or something.

If indeed this is consumer fraud, and consumers have had years to bring a claim, they would have already done so especially given the number of backers that have dumped more than $1k each and could validate a class. That's one.
Two: I never claimed there would not be refunds. I said CIG does not have to oblige to offer them.
Three: loving lol if you think you have this thing figured out when it's more than obvious you're doing nothing but barking at clouds and trying to get people to notice you. Hell, I'm responding to you so it's working, eh pal?

Guys, he's got you by the nose, and Derek too. It'd be funnier but it's too predictable now.

He's not a backer, he does not care a about Star Citizen as a success or a failure. He's just loving with you guys and it's like the bait is always juicy and tasty for people.

Anyhow, proceed with the inevitable MoMA bashing and arguments for the next 4-5 pages. :)

Consider that maybe people know he's trolling, but it's kind of fun to take running starts at a strawman idiot-SC-backer when no real ones have made themselves available.

Trolling, being trolled, in the end it's all just good times in the Star Citizen thread.

It's just an SM57 that I've boosted via software, but I'm trying to get the levels right. The webcam was not bad, but it sounded like it was clipping which is something I really dislike. So if I'm hellishly quiet, that's why, and I need folks to let me know about the levels between the game and myself.
