They should put up a new stretch goal. "$90m: We buy buckets and fire extinguishers so we can put out the fires and keep afloat long enough for you idiots to send more money."

peter gabriel posted:You know if that article is true it should be funny but honestly I am just a bit disgusted I imagine the only reason, why I'm laughing moreso than just dry-heaving right now, is because of all the time I've acclimated to it subconsciously via the brown sea. So it's less of a problem for me to just switch to my black comedy mode, but yea...it's deffo not unnatural a reaction for anyone uninitiated to all this to be disgusted, I'd say.

Gwaihir posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkKy4ddfH4Q Thank you for taking the time to link me! That craft there looks like an analog to Elite's Eagle in size and shape. It will probably take Elite another year to get to the "Get out and walk around your massive ship" phase, which really downplays how big things are around you. Being able to seamlessly walk into your ship and fly it would be baller as hell and player turrets are rad. The ship models of both games are pretty detailed but SC has the prettier ships imo. I just never got why you would charge several months worth of rent for one. Did it at least come with insurance if a griefer blew it out of the sky?

Karl_Ramseier posted:I wonder what reason a company could have to wait until 6 month? Is the information that is visible to the public in any way sensitive? Six months is just when they no longer issue fines. Usually some time after this point is when Companies House will send threatening letters about initiating proceedings to strike a company off the register. This is essentially when the crown decides to dissolve the company and take control of any assets it owns. Realistically it never happens but then realistically people file their accounts at some point. Valid reasons for not filing your accounts do not extend much beyond a natural disaster like a fire or flood destroying all your books and records. Then you may be granted an extension to your deadline. As with anyone breaking any law, it's not really a big issue for you until the moment it is. It doesn't mean that you aren't breaking the law though. This is a completely separate matter to corporation tax, which a company pays on its profits. It is handled by different people and mostly irrelevant in this situation because it is pretty obvious that all these companies are running at losses. You don't pay corporation tax on losses.

The difference between SC and AFF is the difference between letting the perfect get in the way of the good enough. Supposedly, AFF had a $0 budget before being released on Steam, today.

If the profanity claims are true, I can't wait to see some of those emails pop up as evidence. "Gift cards? Sure I can put those on the site. $25 for $25, $50 for $50 and so on, correct?" "Are you loving retarded you dickless turd? Gouge! Gouge I tell you!"

Karl_Ramseier posted:Then go and sue him. But instead you guys are dragging his case through the whole internet. Did any one of you asked the "victim" of that sexual harassment how she feels about it? Also as one of her best friends I feel qualified to say that she felt a strong sense of violation, but CIGs absolute mishandling only put fuel on the fire. PS: You strike me as a gross creepy dude, you and DickWulf should get along famously.
