HKS posted:Please read the thread, he not only said it was complete bs when the trailer was first released he explained why technically. Do you actually read the 1000 posts per day thread? I have poo poo to do. My bad for missing something from two months ago in this 2000+ page thread. Also, I wasn't referring to the trailer. I was referring to the live(?)

It probably isn't even the same application "i got poo poo to do" coming from a man posting on a paid internet forum asking about a demo from a fake game from a fake company while also cross examining and asking questions on reddit. very weak.

Yea, CIG's staff has become really zealous in the last few years. I'm really not sure when the mindset switch happened for staff, but the community was always crazy. After the first year I sold a bunch of LTI poo poo and moved on to college poo poo, so everything I know from up until a few months ago is all hearsay and crazy rear end nerds ripping each other on the internet. All I can say is the people working on this project aren't at all like what I saw when I first backed this live train wreck. I think they realized that once people started getting fed up and their core demo turned into dreaming space facists, they decided to play along, but this is the kind of thing I'd look to EightAce or Bootcha about. Coming back to looking at this community and the people who regulate it was so loving insanely jarring at first. It pissed me off too.

that's sad. like really the youtube comments made me a little sad. but honestly man, this will make no difference. and i don't want to poo poo on your g0rf, but you effort posted too hard for them to pay attention. sandi least of all. if she even were to see it, i imagine her glancing at it and ignoring it, maybe even laughing at it for her own reasons. the devs don't give a gently caress - and they shouldn't, either - they're just doing their jobs. it's the people in management that's hosed in the head. chalk's posts about his forum ban are mind-numbing, yet the replies to his reddit post just shows how far backers are willing to go with their own imaginations. "CAN'T PROVE" "FAKE" "YOUR POINT IS INVALID [HERE]" "PRIVATE COMPANY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH UR PMS" really sad.

I've got some chap on twitter who refers to himself as a "freelancer" asking me questions about it: https://twitter.com/WilliamUsherGB/status/702644634065960961 Looks like he's a bit of a gamergater but I guess if he wants to write an article on this then all power to him. One thing I do want to make clear is that I don't think there's any legal issue here with what CIG did. They're a private entity and I used their messaging service after agreeing to their TOS. They're entirely within their legal rights to read my PMs and to ban me for discussing consumer laws. I just think it's morally hosed up that they're doing this and I think people should know about it.

Post 1 - We are sacrificing for you despite the crazy toxic critics who are wrong about us failing or scamming you. 12 minutes later Post 2 - Go forth and spread the word but be nice to people who don't agree with you. normally only effort/angry posts when poo poo is going horribly wrong, I wonder what's happening.

I love how this thread is the de facto support group for those who are inclined to get their money back from CIG. If someone posted in E/N about how their spouse was going to leave them because of overspending on JPEGs, the response would be to point them towards this thread, post endless .gif on the subject, and then witness it being closed in short order for mission accomplished. Quick, efficient and textbook. "How to Save a Shitizen 2.2.3.1 (GET A REFUND PM ME FOR A BAN AND ANOTHER CHANCE AT LIFE)"

But ultimately he's not a very likable person (which he knows and doesn't give a poo poo about) and his touchiness would probably have caused us to be at each other's throat in any other time and place than this thread.

MeLKoR posted:Tricky question. I laugh a lot at poo poo he says and does (laugh with him, not at him). I respect him for keep doing what he loves despite the amount of people that poo poo on him. And despite also considering myself an internet warrior I can't imagine what it must be like to try to do your job and fight a constant internet war IRL at the same time for decades, I also respect that. His actions also opened a door that for a few months allowed goons to bail out of this trainwreck and save hundreds of thousands of dollars, if nothing else that should earn a bit of leeway/eyerolling to his more bombastic stuff from goons. same p much Being in a constant internet war must change how you see text on a screen. Instead of seeing comments you see lawsuits like in the matrix.

So you're suggesting that before you effort post, you embrace nilhistism and think, "nah, that's a 'lil bit too much effort they won't read it"? gently caress it, you're allowed to write an open letter to whoever you want. "Dear Santa, please get me a chimney for Christmas." How would he deal with that? Would he turn up on my roof and then try and get down the chimney that he has to deliver???

G0RF posted:I do hope CIG gets wind of it and reaches out and does something nice. Perhaps I delude myself but surely at least a few people there will see what's happened and realize they could do something nice for the guy. Even if they have to go around Sandi's back to pull it off! I'm pretty sure that as far as CIG is concerned they believe there is a goon run effort to "ruin the game" or perhaps "ruin the marketing" would be more accurate , they see advising unhappy people on their consumer rights as bank fraud. They see talking about the broken promises and complete failure to deliver anything like promised as a hit to their PR and future cash income. The problem is that there's no way of telling if someone is honestly pissed because they sold LTI again (or insert 100+ other failed promises) or if he just likes trolling. In the CIG bubble I'd assume it's painful thinking about all the ways they've hosed up over the years so it's a lot easier just to assume the worst of people's motivations, "When's that Star Marine module coming out?", ban that dick. I suspect even an excellent suggestion from someone here on how to raise even more cash easily and quickly would be immediately suspect just because of it's source. The community team at CIG have shifted to pretty much working full time on damage control and trying to keep the illusion going that something great is coming in just 2 more weeks. I think it's all wonderful, if is right then the game is going to be amazing, if he's wrong then I guess I'm just a toxic troll who's going to be able to watch as more and more promised gameplay features become verboten as conversation topics for Citizens.

His Twitter handle seems familiar Yeah that guy is absolutely a gamergate guy http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/ He's one of those guys who can say "it's actually about ethics in videogame journalism" and mean it. And will prove it by actually investigating shady stuff other games journos won't touch or would prefer to softball, like SC. Say what you will about GG, but the fact that a known and somewhat infamous gamergater is a more respectable and principled human being than the bulk of CIG and their supporters is kind of hilarious.

Galarox posted:Duke of Goa is a fascinating case study. He is a classic SC whale. I don't have the time or patience to look through his posting history but, back when I was a backer and believer and owned only a Cutlass (for those Goons unaware of it the Cutlass is probably the single most shitted upon ship in their panoply) he came into the RSI cutlass thread and relentlessly trolled/attacked us for NOT believing in CIG... and their Vision. The change seen in Mirificus various posts where he has been screen-capped are, for me at least, an insight into the cult believer who has begun to doubt. By his own admission he is now $6 grand in the hole, and his posts have gone from passive aggressive to full on "WTF?" I suspect that at some point in the near future he will be temp/permabanned for some ridiculous or imaginary rule infraction. If that happens we should invite him to vent here because the fireworks would be deeply entertaining. I find that I cant feel too sorry for idiots like him who have invested so drat much in Crobbles inane vision, but I can feel some small degree of sympathy for him as a victim of his own idiocy. I had a few fights with him and I find it funny that it took him 2.5+ full years to realize what was being told to him back then is still true. He was a grade A duche then and still. It must hurt that he has 6k in the game. But then you can be on his idriss anytime.
