Isn't CIG not a publicly traded company? I thought the entire point of the kickstarter and :airquote: crowdfunding :airquote: was that investors and selling shares wouldn't be necessary. If Chris and them took their money out by "selling shares" there's nowhere CIG can make that money back because there are no shares to sell, but what do I know, I'm just a silly goon.

Chris selling his shares back to the company so it can sell them for profit instead of himself was actually an act of Great Benevolence. Also, wouldn't he be dictating what price he gave himself for the shares if that was the case? lol

I constantly see people refer to Chris Roberts' genius and how Wing Commander (the game or the series) was a technical marvel and a gameplay masterpiece.


Anyone mind helping me find it in this list?


There isn't a single loving wing commander title on that list

CIG is a private company which is why they don't have to release financial information.

Well would you look at that. A game that was constantly reworked over and over again, that was in a perpetual state of beta, and that had design ideas way over what was feasible is having issues paying their bills

'I definitely want to do another Wing Commander...' has there been any progress on that front?

Update on refund request:

CIG refused, despite repeated inquiries. So I phoned my bank to start a chargeback, but because the timeline has exceeded 525 days, they won't initiate that process, despite the project not delivering. It did sound like there were others who had this sort of problem, and he suggested looking online (I didn't try to explain to him what a Goon was) to see about a community getting together to demand money back.

They did say that the Terms of Service were the same throughout - I find that hard to believe. Does anyone have copies of the ToS and when they were updated?

You have different options depending on where you are. Contacting the bloke who wrote this might help.

Considering Chris Roberts said "We don't want people to be part of the project if they're not happy."

I've written back to CIG with that exact quote and a link to that article. We'll see if that gets me anywhere (I'm expecting not). Oh well, at least it's only $40.

I'm now of the opinion that considering SC is so loving janky that it isn't even fun to grief in due to having to constantly fight the game to get it to do what you want it to (like take off without clipping into invisible bullshit), that I hope it completely fails and there is nothing to show for it, because the "community" is so horrendous that they deserve to have their sand castle destroyed.
