Looks like they'll get their wish!

JugbandDude posted:This makes a lot of sense and would fit perfectly with CIG tactics so far. My only guess is that they haven't been able to accomplish it, no matter how easy it might seem. I would think they could accomplish it, but with a 5 minute QTE for the 'jump' to provide enough time for the new system to load, and they probably think even the die hard fans won't put up with that.

Beet Wagon posted:How is there not a loving full-scale revolt going on over the fact that some dude who gave them 12 grand to make a game could potentially be banned and lose everything before the game even leaves alpha? Would be hilarious if there was a ban with no refund based on video evidence, but the video evidence was really a difference in state between client and server due to latency (so the recording client shows wallhax, but the server or other client would show clear line of sight). Maybe if they ban everyone, they can stop trying to deliver a game, or alternately offer a cheater's buyback package to unlock their account again.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:holy poo poo, look like another job for Derek CIG won't offer partial refunds, because there would be an overwhelming wave of people who would decide to only keep one or two of their more special ships on their account and stay in the game, and refund the rest of their 'investment'. CIG need to ensure they realise that there is a 'risk' that if they refund now, when SC is released and is the most awesome game that there ever could be then they will have to buy back in with a lowly plebmobile while all the other backers who kept the faith fly around in their fleet of blingchariots. Trying to generate the mindset that "if I refund now, I will be SO far behind everyone else when the game launches. Better to not get a refund and stay in the game."

DapperDon posted:And the reason I am just fine with that is because Frontier does not beg for donations through public funding or kickstarter or concept jpeg sales. They released a solid game and have paid for its development under their own steam. To me that shows they have earned their place in the market and do not have to tell us anything other than "here is a new update to keep the game growing." I may not be a hotshot egghead game dev, but to me, that is what I would call the right way of doing it. Not sure if serious: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous

Mu77ley posted:The Kickstarter was used partially to gauge interest, and the base game cost between £8-9 million, meaning the majority of development money came from FDev themselves. I definitely think Frontier have done an exceptional job, and significantly exceeded the vast majority of their goals from the Kickstarter (let's not mention private servers), but Star Citizen also claimed they were gauging interest from Kickstarter and the rest of the money was going to come from other investors. Frontier have done it they way it should be done (even communicating bad changes/undeliverable promises like private servers, communication that inXile is now getting roasted for failing at). CIG have made a lot of money and delivered nothing of substance.

Way back, when limited Alpha slots were a thing, one of the stretch goals was an increase in Alpha slots (read: don't want to stop new money coming in), and the reason was they were going to use the increase in funding to implement more servers including one in Australia. There were lots of Australian backers that pledged or increased their existing stake because of this, since we are a long way from anywhere and have notoriously bad latency in games. An online game with Australian servers is a rare thing indeed. However, when they did add server expansion, our 'Australian server' ended up being located in Singapore, and many backers were really pissed off with this. Quite a few of the refunded Aussies have used a breaking of this promise as justification under Australian Consumer Law for a refund, since is is a clear documented promise that CIG made and had already delivered in a manner contrary to the promise. I wonder if this new Australian server is implemented as a means to push back against Australians refunding on this basis.

Unless of course they were worthless; seeing as the Black market has pretty much collapsed now. Could be that his entire list of ships were all account bound after being traded, so the whole account was all or nothing.
