Lack of weekly schedule news is interesting. Either they are keeping it really tight to surprise with a SQ42 demo or they really have fuckall to show.

When Variable closed his account they returned some items to me. I had to call them out on it though. I'm curious as to what they would do if the excess money was supposed to go to an account that had already been closed.


It appears so, up to the total spent on the account.


Their supposed argument is "money laundering" but in reality it's because they want to keep as much money as possible. I checked the total value of my account before I requested a refund and the total value of the packages is less than the total value I spent, so that shouldn't be a problem. I made sure to keep track of every expense before I requested a refund so if they do something like lock or close my account before settling the funds I'll be able to call them out and provide a proper complaint. I'm getting the impression that they really don't want to do that though. Ray has been very polite and professional in his exchanges with me, which I appreciate.

Kind of makes sense why the hobo has been so quiet tho. The firestorm of not releasing 2.6 or releasing a garbage 2.6 but selling more ships would be seen from space.


Hope they release it )

Don't get mad, friend.

If there's one thing you can take away here, it's that even after everything went south for you, and CIG actively despised you, and all the people behind it also despised you; you somehow still had faith that even with the odds not in your favor, you believed somehow even CIG could pull off at the very least a mediocre game.

This is basically your acknowledgement that CIG won't even pull off something mediocre or close to "the vision". Honestly, it's CIG who should feel shame here. But they won't due to delusion, money, and most likely drugs. It's tough to admit that you were wrong, and even that you're getting a refund at long last despite your position within their community.

You did fine. Let it go, and know that in the off chance CIG actually does make something worth playing, you can just pick it up again. You're really losing nothing either way, but you're gaining in the event CIG pulls a CIG. At least you'll have your money back. Go buy some nice Christmas presents for the family.

AP posted:

This is a binary choice.

1> Either Derek is full of poo poo and doesn't have sources. Or 2> He does/did have sources and hence, actually knows stuff.

Now if it's 1, it difficult to explain how he knew about Star Marine I being binned 6+ months before Chris Roberts confirmed it. It's also difficult to explain how he knew about the firings/leavings last year immediately after they happened, the dispute with the contractor at CIG LA, the 20k coffee machine plus a pile of other stupid stuff.

Now maybe you could be like moma and think anyone at CIG who was leaking stuff to him has left. Personally I think that's dumb as hell because if it was stressful/annoying enough to leak poo poo over Star Marine I fuckups, I can't imagine it's less stressful/annoying now with them trying to get Star Marine II out the door in less time. But it's worth remembering that The Escapist said "seven ex-employees and two current employees" contacted them when they wrote their hit piece and they explained in detail how they verified them.

Now Citizens will brush The Escapist to one side with a load of crap about keycards etc, but if you're in the game industry I don't think it's a stretch to assume you don't actually want to be identified while moaning about what a horrible bunch of gobshites employed you. I also see no reason for The Escapist to just suddenly go after CIG as strongly as they did out of the blue and to then go one step further by refusing to back down in the face of a legal threat.

I started from the position of being cynical of Derek's claims in July 2015 and always try to independently verify things he's said, I've managed to do this a few times.

To understand why he appears to be blue balling everyone, I think you need to factor in that he's said there's stuff he just can't talk about for legal reasons, stuff he can't prove, things he can't say because it would potentially reveal sources and stuff he's told that sometimes turns out to be wrong (some of which will be CIG management changing their minds, some just wrong). Also, sure he likes trolling but if I was absolutely sure of something, 100% certain, I'd be trolling shitizens who'd setup a hate subreddit in my name too plus people here who constantly whine about him, because why the hell not?

There's two choices and it's obvious to me which is going to turn out be correct. I really do hope he writes a book after CIG goes bust as I'm sure there's more and it's worse.
