Apparently the Redditors don't know about Wolf being the CEO of a marketing company, or about the meetings he's had with CIG, or all the tweeting he does about marketing presentations.

One of you guys who drops things onto Reddit should get around to posting some of that stuff, preferably somewhere around here:

I wonder if the expansion that the INN guys wanted was to cover games that actually exist, and Larsen/DiMare couldn't let that happen because he was being paid to make INN an SC-exclusive shill outlet.

Guys this is important, who do I turn to now for official CIG propaganda?

CIG need to make it clear either by backing INN 1.0 or going with INN 2.0

I know, I'm scared too, but lets just keep calm. I'm sure CIG, as the mostest openest company since it was a little girl, will let us know the scoop soon.

So the INN idiots got pissed off that they were shilling SC for Wolf Larsen for free, and their bold solution is to shill SC for themselves for free.

Is that about right?

They also took the Patreon account and Jake/Wolf seems upset so it probably had some decentish cash in it.

I really like how we've spent months trying to decide if INN was a paid for piece of shillery or if they were just obsessed fans doing it for free, and it turns out to be both. CIG have been paying for this poo poo, and the people doing the shilling didn't see a penny of it. That is loving glorious.

The amount of butt hurt may depend on the amount of transparency that Jake had with them.

I seem to recall he avoided being Jake when first called out, until there was like, photographic evidence of him having meetings with CIG guys.

Why would he be honest with his dumb Reddit staff? All starry eyed and ignorant. I'm sure he took them on a great ride.

The guy isn't Ortwin levels of hideous, but he's a sharp cookie. I think it's funny he got these guys to work for free and pocketed scads of backer money CIG was doling out.

Feel like cattle, Star Citizens. That's all CIG thinks of you. Cattle who's udders are full of cash, and brains full of ignorance. :negative:

Kind of funny considering we've known half a year. I wonder if that's when they started poking around and making plans to jump ship.
