Somehow his operation is legal but Billy Macfarlane the Fyre Festival guy is in prison for doing the same poo poo

Billy MacFarlane made two fatal errors.

1. His project had an end date, and
2. He pissed off actual rich people with actual connections, not friendless computer touchers with more disposable income than sense.

Aww man, Br�tal Legends was such a weird experience to play, because every part was so lovingly crafted except the actual game.

Since the kickstarter they formed 16 different companies. Some are identical with small changes in spelling.

When people contacted the district attorney because of denied refunds their lawyer gave the "wrong company" defense because the complaint didn't list the correct shell corporation. I believe they did the same thing in the Crytek lawsuit, claiming that Crytek was suing the wrong company so the lawsuit was invalid.

It's kind of funny how obvious it is.

A third of a billion dollars everyone.

"Oh you are suing Cloud Imperium Games? We are Cloud Imperium Games Limited. Checkmate."
"Your complaint is against Roberts Space Industries? We are Cloud Imperium Games?"
"You are contacting Roberts Space Industries Corp? We are Roberts Space Industries."

I didn't back Spacebase but I wanted it to be a thing because I love simulation games. I really want a Dwarf Fortress esque game but with some nice isometric graphics.

Rimworld?

For me, Rimworld is close but really lacks the social and personality stuff that DF has. There is some there but only barely.

Try it with Psychology and Colony Manager. There are probably more now that the game has hit 1.0!

When does it get good? I played a bit and it was fiendishly generic

When you develop friends and hobbies and/or start getting laid.

Edit: if that doesn't help try therapy, maybe medication

Have you ever seen those ads for lawyers who claim they can get you out of a time share?

The major income for those firms is selling their clients time shares.

This seems relevant somehow.

I take everything back. I want to be the customs official at the spaceport denying people entry after their 35 real-time hour voyage because of a entry visa mixup or confiscating their space goods because their space declaration paperwork wasn't completed in the arbitrary fashion I'm going by today. Unless you slip me some spacebucks tucked inside your passport. Look buddy if your cargo hold is filled with hookers and they run out of air because I impounded your spacecruiser it's not my problem.

I would play Space Papers Please.

Just a quick example of the voice acting and poor lip syncing. I'm sure these are just stand-ins for the 'alpha', but still pretty funny.

I too make sure to return to a fully neutral position before moving my head around like I'm having a seizure when someone asks me a question. Fidelity!

Fun fact: a lot of law firms that specialize in getting people out of time shares make most of their money selling time shares to their clients.
