Hav posted:They were very gentle with me when they decided that we'd hosed up the VAT on an export outside of the EU, but it was still brown-trouser time. 2 days of going over the accounts with a final bill presented along with a time limit. Thing is that you can go a couple of quarters at least without too much attention, then it's full 'eye of sauron'. loving with VAT: not even once

The relevant stuff quote:Pre-orders have become a contentious area of the games industry, with a greater number of publishers and retailers looking to get players to commit to a purchase before the final release. Tutty believes that the new act may mean that these customers find they have more power to ask for a refund if the final game doesn’t live up to early promises given on the pre-order page.

Hello Sandi, Since you were kind enough to reveal that you do, indeed, read these forums (or have a menial do it instead of actually getting work done for the project we've paid them for) I'd like to share my thoughts on this whole debacle with you. First of all I would like to congratulate you on the enormity of your success. Some people like to denigrate your role in this project and don't give you the respect you deserve as one of the driving forces behind the most successful crowd funding project on the planet. That's unfair. You deserve full recognition for the marketing and implementation of the project. You deserve full recognition for managing to bring in tens of millions of dollars by marketing a dream and managing the message in such a fashion that, even to this day, backers are eager to throw money at you. You deserve full recognition for getting people to invest not only their funds, but also their hearts, even when doing so comes at a personal cost. Chris may have made people believe, but you gave them a means of demonstrating their faith. I hope that, for all long as people remember Star Citizen, they remember your name. You deserve all that recognition, because you deserve the responsibility for all the consequences should you fail. All of the love and adoration your efforts have brought about, all that money that backers have given your company in good faith, all of that is your responsibility. If that love turns to hate, if all of that energy and enthusiasm turns from cheering you on to cursing your name, understand that it is because of your machinations. I hope you can comprehend the enormity of the risk you are taking here, that you truly respect the power you have over the hearts and minds of people who believe in Star Citizen and what it means. I hope you understand just how immersed and dedicated your backers are in the success of this effort, and the consequences of that faith should everything collapse. I hope you understand that people could kill themselves over this. This isn't a joke. This isn't a personal attack. This is a belief I have personally held for years now. People have the same level of faith in your husband and Star Citizen that others do in religions. There is an extremity in belief among the most hardcore backers that can be compared to a cult. Those types of people do not respond well to massive disruptions such as if Cloud Imperium Games were to go bankrupt. I didn't post that suicide hotline number on the front page because I thought it was funny, I posted it there because I am genuinely worried about people killing themselves. You should be too.

Gwaihir posted:Also the whole CALL THE TAX OFFICE ON CIG is pretty loving god damned goony, even by the standards of this thread. It's really not. The other folks describing the veracity of the British tax system and their droogs are not joking in any way. The government has advertisements encouraging folks to report potential fraud. If I received a refund on an item and I looked at the receipt without any real mention of VAT and a bunch of reassuring numbers, I would be raising an eyebrow pretty hard.

Hi Sandi. I'm not a backer/donator/pre-orderer/worshiper/cultist of your husband's latest failscade, but since you're e-stalking us now and sending unsolicited emails with threatening undertones, I'd like to take the chance to say this... gently caress you. gently caress your company. You're all scum. I hope you all end up in prison where there's no razors, and have to live your days out with a bush that touches your knees, you creepy weirdo. Thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you soon! -Xae.

Woah, I got my 'confirm you want a full refund' e-mail yesterday, and the 'how much do you expect e-mail today'. Are the long waits typically happening after this step?quote:Hello Generation Internet, It would also appear that they've completely dropped asking about the escapist article, presumably because nobody was giving them the answer they were looking for, judging by this thread.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Hello Sandi, You are a far better person than I. Seriously, Sandi, if you are obsessively reading this thread by this point, as your screenshot of D_Smart certainly indicates, read this post over and over and over, until you finally get what Beer is trying to tell you. Me, I remain skeptical you'll learn anything and will just keep up the ego-ride with your husband until the inevitable downfall, since that's how most all humans work, sadly. But Beer...he reminds me of a moreso hopeful me that I once was, back in 2013 when I legitimately tried to contribute politely to CIG with my own thoughts...and in return only got grief and being ignored. Don't repeat the same mistake with Beer. Read his post. Understand it. Act on it in a way that is right.

Hi Sandi, Please tell an underling (or fat Les if he's eating and not working, AGAIN!) to leak the real reason why you faked a resignation at CitizenCON. I think it would be good to hear your perspective. By 'your perspective', I mean lies of course and by 'good' I mean funny. Yours, Inny.

Incidentally has Sandi ever even once indicated that she reads Reddit? I'm going to lol if they're paying more attention to the "Hate" thread. Even they know the hugbox is not a place to get critical thoughts about their game.

G0RF posted:MassivelyOP interviews James Hick, indie space game dev, about the game genre, Star Citizen, and even Derek Smart. He considers Derek a qualified critic of CiGs technical challenges, and addresses the question of cash reserves, hand crafted systems vs procedurally generated ones, and more. That site is the #1 media shill site for Star Citizen. So I'm surprised they actually posted the podcast. Jame's commentary about me should probably burn like hell.
