Mr.Tophat posted:Same Indeed, I hope this guy doesn't get driven away from the thread, diversity of opinions is good. StarbloodKiss posted:I'm not quite sure really how much effort to expect since everything is as vague as it is. I just liked the idea though. And yeah, $2000 is a lot but really, its money I can spend since I wouldn't have spent it anyways. Most of money is spent on other people anyways so I just wanted to treat myself to something at least once. I don't really want a car, I do want a vacation but I can't just get up and go (school, work, pets), I don't want any gadgets or gizmos... It's easy to make assumptions about the effort required for things because if it takes 12 months to get a spaceship and people can drop $2000 to get it instantly and blow you to hell then the game is a pay to win disaster. It's handy since it renders other scenarios irrelevant, the mechanics of an unpopular game are of no interest. You seem like a cool and sensible person who just has that sort of money to throw around so fair enough for your decisions. Personally, I think CIG are dangerously close to intentionally taking advantage of lonely nerds, milking them for all they can by selling them vast dreams they have very little intention of fully delivering. There's a quote from Lesnick about how they'd start to feel really guilty about continuing to take people's money if they reached 100 million funding. I guess they changed their minds. There's a storm on the horizon for all of this as they inevitably fail to meet expectations. I hope that yours are met but it seems like you'd be pretty relaxed about it either way so that's cool. A lot of people take video games way too seriously and the way the marketing for SC has been run feels immoral though. Beer was right when he warned Sandi that the consequences of this project failing could be really serious for some people and it would be entirely on their heads. I could easily throw $2000 at a video game, but I don't want to give it to these people.

Can anybody help me out, posted in this very thread somebody was talking about a spaceship fighting game and one of the modes involved a large scale fleet combat where each team could launch a boarding ship that had to fly through hostile small fighter combat to land on the other team's capital ship and then fight their way through the capital ship to take the bridge. I think it was WH40k based but Eternal Crusade doesn't seem to feature any ship based combat. that game seemed really cool and i lost it in my sea of link history. or maybe it was a dream i can't seperate this thread from reality any more.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Thank you for letting me share commandos o9 I still remember when I first heard about Star Citizen, and it sounded really cool from far away. Then they started selling ships and I saw how hostile the threads here were towards people mocking ship purchases and I wondered how people could be so disconnected from reality when we'd already seen many early access and kickstarter projects failing or completely underachieving. Time hasn't exactly been kind to my perception of this project and the people running it, and has been nosediving rapidly since they started to seriously mistreat some of their supporters who dared to be critical. I think I only really started to post when Sandi started emailing about posts here because it genuinely angered me. Now I'm at the point where I realise these walking garbage cans were irredeemable from the start and would be lousy attempts at human beings no matter what they applied themselves to.

StarbloodKiss posted:Overall, if SC fails it will be a shame. Not because of the game not being made, but simply because a lot of people are going to be hurt. The backers, developers, everyone. Personally, I'm going to laugh if only because of the folly and how ludicrous it is that I spent $2000 on jpeg ships. I don't know. I won't be mad, but it will make an entertaining story and an interesting lesson. There are still ways to get most of your money out, you don't need to get caught out by this game unless for some reason you want to.

CIG Pulling Account Funds from Backers to Pay for 2013 Scamsquote:A close friend of mine has run into an issue with CIG customer support that they seem to be unwilling to investigate. in 2013 when early early backers were getting some ships for cheaper than anyone else he was being gifted ships by people. He would melt the ship and send it back 24 hours later which would apply LTI and on some packages leave a small credit overage. This was done in the open and he advertised doing this for people on his youtube channel. None of these were behind closed doors sort of deal. In the time period he was conducting the transactions he also brought several people to the game, including myself which I know have about $350 spent on ships and some smaller items (He has come out of pocket somewhere north of $1700 on Star Citizen).  The LTI laundering marketing gimmick (let's face it, it was a marketing gimmick), that brought in a lot of money to CIG rumbles on.

mrking posted:the real crime here is that Chris has a nutritionist on staff and he isn't counselling Well you see, ultimately, everybody is responsible for their own actions. Seriously, if CR doesn't care about backers losing their family and spending their food/wellfare money on his game, why would he care about Ben eating himself to certain death? A much more pressing issue than death by obesity, however, is that if Ben's blood sugar level is anywhere close to what I think it is, you can bet diabetic eye damage will come knocking, if it hasn't already. And since he only has 1 good eye as is, that should be one hell of a motivation to slim the gently caress down. But apparently it isn't. This is why I have no pity for him. No matter what your preferred diet is (vegan, meat-lover, overeater, vegetarian etc.) when it starts affecting your health, you need to alter it. If you don't, you might as well die sooner than later to not put strain on the healthcare system.

I read his 2013 scams as referring to the year long end of LTI scam that CIG pulled, it took me a while to work out he's referring to the chargeback. Which, to be fair, I don't think you can call a scam.

AP posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypHbogwIsFQ This is a pretty stupid situation. Tell me, CIG, if the game launches and I buy something with CIG dollars or what ever the MTX currency is, then I sell that thing to someone, then they sell it to someone else, then they sell it on and so fourth for an arbitrary number of transactions, then I do a charge back, what happens? From the sound of it it seems like some poor bastard that ended up with the specific item in their inventory at the time that I did a chargeback will find the item disappears. That's a pretty loving stupid way to resolve this situation.

Seeing how they themselves call the mechanic "gifting", how can they claim he bought it from a third party? That would never hold up in court. Sadly the legal system favours not the innocent, but the one who can afford it.
