Decrepus posted:D_Smart what do you think about the financial success of Day Z (a content-less tech demo sandbox)? There are clearly a lot of similarities, in the game not the development. Don't you think despite how terrible Star Citizen is that there is such a huge vastness of high-functioning autists that they can support it? Day Z didn't get $100m up front to build a Crysis mod. I don't believe - for one second - that any version of Star Citizen will exist, once RSI collapses.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:You do realize that every time you post about how you "predicted" something and then link back to the same content it makes you look less credible, right? Repeating the same thing over and over again, especially when there's no visible evidence of you following up on all of those threats, does nothing but expose you to ridicule. That's only a problem for people who can't tell the difference between a prediction and threats of legal action. The two are in fact different and mutually exclusive. The point of my point this particular missive is that it's not new and because they're doing precisely as predicted. That's the point I was making. Fine, I'll stop reminding you all then. Which is great, cuz then I get to post less.

Talking about Star Citizen a lot in a negative way=crazy and needs help. Talking about Star Citizen a lot in a positive way=passionate and valuable member of the community.

All of the above ended up being exactly as I said it would. Not sure which ones you missed. Legal action is not something you do over night and I'm not on anyone's timetable but the law's.

Amarcarts posted:The major thing people are not talking about at all is the lack of persistence. It's one thing to have a functional tech demo proving the network/fidelity technology can work, which they technically don't have yet. People can just suicide and spawn infinite assets without having to worry about losing items. People are saying this is a pre-alpha which is fine, but what is it a pre-alpha for? I'd argue that they are still in the pre-alpha for the tech demo, as in they don't actually have a proof-of-concept for the game yet. They are still in pre-production for the actual final game. They didn't need to think it through at all once it because a money grab.

Stanko-Prussian posted:this is some real dumb south park middle way horseshit, honestly. i don't even think smart has mentioned the suit for a while except in response to people asking after it. lawsuits are a much more explored and documented thing than 100 million dollar spacegames, so it's not really blind belief to say "just wait and see and have faith", it's building a house of cards and you don't even breathe on it at this point. Indeed. And for someone who has been involved in several lawsuits and who has experience with them, know how they work, the pitfalls etc, I've already said everything that I can in a public forum. There's that point when attorneys tells you "It's Go! time. STFU". I specifically put everything I legally could, in the public domain because there is a very good chance that during any lawsuit, I won't be able to do any of that. Even if a pleading ends up getting past the judge, they could file a motion to get it sealed, robbing me of any delight in reveling in it. And fighting such motions, costs money. Then you have to decide if the need to make it public, is about ego or what's right and just. Would I spend the $5K in legal bills to explain to a judge why something shouldn't be sealed, only to get the judge deny the motion? Or just plow onward to the end game where it all gets shot to poo poo anyway? Make no mistake, there is going to be legal action over this mess. Whether it's by me, AG, others etc, it will happen. What form it will take, is what's up for debate. Either way, the end result of any such suit, is going to hinge on what happened to all this money (nobody gives a poo poo about a lovely game) and was there fraud involved.

I think I know where a huge chunk of the Star Shitizen budget is going... Keeping Ben and his whale wife alive. All they would have to do to dramatically lose weight is occasionally gently caress, wipe their asses, and eat only 3 meals a day but instead all the backer money is going into stock bottles of Metformine and mini-fridges full of Novolin. The dude is so fat he would literally rather stab himself with needles and inject diabetes meds all day instead of stand up and walk around a room. I weep for the pharmacy that has to fill his 18+ medications. I can almost guarantee there's a special little spot of shelf space reserved for Ben's medications since the drug bag is so loving fat that it can't be filed with other people's meds.

Dapper Dan posted:To me, it doesn't matter. Lawsuits take a long time, it could be like two years before it even sees a court and by that time it might not even be relevant anymore. CIG can just delay, his lawyers could recommend that it might not be worth it to go to court, matters might have changed, CIG might settle out of court with a non-disclosure agreement, etc. Precisely. And I've already stated this for the record - and in public (where croberts & go get to cite it) - I'm already $100K in retainers to no less than three law firms. And that's even less than the $250K I forked out for each of the lawsuits I was involved in these past years. I've posted links to some of those (and some of the bills) before. Which is why I smirk at morons who think they're God's gift to mankind because they happened to invest $30K on vaporware. And so they have carte blanche to abuse people, harass, behave badly etc. I do this specifically because they made it about me, singled me out - and tried to make me look like a fool. I do this because I know with 100% certainty, that I am right about this project. And I have mountains of evidence, complete with credible statements (all of which will end up in depositions taken under oath) to back up my claims. Anyone who thinks I'm doing this for them, is misguided. And a fool. If anyone benefits from whatever comes from this, it will be just a side effect of why I'm doing this. Which is precisely why, on my own time and my own dime, I have people helping others and guiding them on how to get a refund, what their rights are, who to complain to etc. There is a much bigger picture at play here. The question people should be asking is why, after two months, they haven't sued The Escapist (who they threatened, but never threatened me with that) yet. Let alone me. It's not like they have that much stuff to collect when it's already out there. Fact is, the minute those idiots threaten me with any lawsuit, one of my attorneys is ready to march into court, motion to compel in hand. Then they're hosed and have to sue me or else.

Good point. But I'd like to point out that we're on SA; where mockery and disdain can erupt just for something as simple as posting a recipe for chicken broth. So there is that.
