Hi everyone! I'm the whale that said he was getting the hell out in the let's talk 3.0 thread. I'm in the process of getting my refund now. Can't wait to be on the outside watching this house of cards fall apart!

Kosumo posted:Hi, for those of us who don't know you whale of a refund story and way you both supported then left as thought you should be refunded, could you run over it for us? From what I've seen it's just a matter of sticking to your guns to finally get your refund. CIG will try to stall you as much as possible, asking a bunch of personal questions including asking for ID (which is shady af imo). I'm at the first "no please don't leave, 3.0 is just around the corner" email. In hindsight I should have just told them to skip that part.

ManofManyAliases posted:No credit card debt is the best feeling. Paying off school now rather than over 10 years is also an incredible feeling. Good for you. The credit card debt was basically from me paying for school. It's a trade school for my 4th year electrical apprenticeship. After 3 months of classes, take a couple of exams, and I'm done my apprenticeship, and get my red seal. Feels good man.

The Titanic posted:Welcome, friend. I apologize that the game didn't live up to the expectations you had. Most of my pledges were prior to 2015. My last big one was the Idris frigate during the 2014 livestream sale in December. At the time, I had a ton of disposable income, already had a house, a nice brand new vehicle, a few grand thrown at some jpegs? No biggie. Anyways since then I basically stopped following development, figured in a year or two I'd have a game to play, and I'd have a huge jump start on my career as a pirate, have lots of ships for my guildies coming over from SWTOR to play with. Only recently started to follow development again, and discovered it's no where near where I thought it would be at this point, and literally years away if ever. All you have to do is look at what they've accomplished, versus what is left to do. It's not happening. Came to this realization last week, and then gradually started going down the rabbit hole. I'm down deep now, spent the last few days totally immersed in all the BS uncovered by people like DS, the people on r/starcitizen_refunds, and here. Feels good to be woke to all this. Just want OUT!

XK posted:I forget, how much was that thing? What was your total? That was 1250. Total amount was over 4100, some of that physical goods and subscriptions, total pledged was about 3300. So yeah there's a fair amount I won't get back in the refund, I'll make some of it back in the currency exchange back to CAD (since most of my pledges were before CAD took a dive).

Beet Wagon posted:Just a friendly heads up but memes aren't usually as welcome here as they are on reddit. We have a lot of people here who weren't SA posters before the Star Citizen thread (myself included) so we get a lot of crossover, but if someone comes and calls you a shitbird or whatever that's why. Good to know! Thank you. I'll refrain from memes in the future.

AP posted:You can get subscriptions refunded but you have to push them hard for it. You get in-"game" items as part of the subscription and they'll want to close your account which denies you access to them, also they promised badges and pirate stuff for subscriptions that they either never delivered or delivered late. Ya I'm not expecting a refund for that, I think at this point I want to get the money out as quick as possible before an ELE.

LOL Just had several of my posts deleted in the let's talk 3.0 thread for violating rule 3 (trolling), and rule 9 (FUD). One of them was asking what Croberts and his wife draw as a salary.

Quavers posted:Do you have a link to the thread? Its now heavily truncated. What's funny is that in other threads that have been policed by the mods, they use strike-throughs, and show edited by a mod. With mine they are just straight up disappeared, with no mod post in the thread. No telling how many others had it done to them as well.

Just got put on probation on RSI for my "pending refund request." I can't even access my account now. Is this normal? Or was it because I was shitposting? Edit: now I can access my account. It was weird cuz I was logged in on iOS, and then I was abruptly signed out. Had to get on my PC to figure out what happened. Warhawk109 fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Mar 14, 2017 |

It's perfect for Crobberts. Between him and his wife, they've made off with millions, while pawning off any further responsibility for the project.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:Except there is no way they can put together that game for ten times what they are asking for. They seem to have 24 people on that team. To fund that kind of a team for the year they predict will take at least a few million dollars. That $150,000 is going to last a couple weeks at best. What's interesting is that this is their second kickstarter. The first one they did they asked for 250k, now it's 150k. What's funny is they actually have what looks like gameplay already. Croberts didn't even have that during his kickstarter.

I would like to know just how much Croberts pays himself and his wife. That is probably too much transparency though. Best to just leave backers in the dark about that.
