So, as an update to my journey getting a refund, here's some documented shenanigans. Paypal recently closed my claims, issuing the following statement: Directly following, my complaint to the BBB received the following response: The fact that these two statements directly contradict one another is important, me thinks. I dunno ...

Samizdata posted:I have to admit, part of me does like the super-fidelitous part suggested. I would like to be able to learn to hack my ship. "What if I jack the fuel flow to the reactor core? What if I boot the dust injectors to the particle cannon?", instead of bog standard parts. Of course, I also love breaking games, so there's that too. There's a new space game called 3001SQ that has programmable ships and components. They're begging for coins on ks at the moment.

Bubbacub posted:Having played lots of games in the 90s, I kinda get it. But I played TIE Fighter before I played Wing Commander, so the ultra-repetitive gameplay felt uninspired, even back then. I do remember being amazed by FMV cutscenes, though. WC1 came four years before that — plenty of time for the fandom/hatedom split to develop. Also, unlike WC, TIE Fighter was occasionally complex and challenging, which obviously drove away some players who were into Chris' smoothed-out experience.

Also HA if Crobberts is actually building a set at Imaginarium after the years of people justifying the cost of his FOUR personal motion capture studios as "Well Imaginarium is expensive! Now he can do the work on his own for way cheaper!" Surely he isn't a terrible manager that would look at the terrible motion capture and blame it on the equipment and then go get more expensive equipment to re-shoot the motion capture. Surely. If it really does cost 20,000,000+ to get in there I wonder if he had to pay that the second time. Calling it as Citizen Con when people realize he is taking them all for a ride to make another terrible movie. They are obligated to show off all this work they are supposedly doing, and they are supposedly only doing Squadron 42 motion capture / non gameplay work.

orcinus posted:I like the sound of that. Hope you like it. I'm trying to find an online military sci-fi 'short-story.' The premise is that there is a soldier fighting in a war between humans and alien bugs. The only element which I remember was that everyone was given a watch which kept perfect time in every environment. I read this years ago and am trying to find it again.

I don't know about you guys but going from "Full refunds if you are unhappy for any reason, and our financials after we are two years late because you would obviously deserve them" to "Alright we are going to start denying refunds selectively" to "We will fight you everywhere we can, however we can and are releasing a TOS that is downright orwellian" really boosts my confidence in the project.

Youtube posted:Finally, whether one chooses to believe it or not, this post is coming from someone who has supported development in an amount north of $500 since... I want to say 2014? Might have been 2013, but I don't think so. And that's just ships; I don't even have a Game Package that would let me play regularly (yet!).

Streetroller posted:So, as an update to my journey getting a refund, here's some documented shenanigans. Best of luck. Send the CIG?RSI response to Paypal, and vice-versa. Threaten CIG/RSI with opening a court case (include full address information of your local court) to reclaim your funds based on CIG/RSI's different narratives between Paypal and themselves ("merchandise was delivered" vs "early game modules", no release date), forcing new TOS on you, changing contract from CIG to RSI (include receipt), and that you'll enjoy throwing them in court - if anything the publicity would be intriguing. Meanwhile: "since our latest release in Dec. 2015 alone, 300,000 backers have enjoyed 1.5 million hours of gameplay with these early game modules" - only 300k backers have tested the janky alphas? Averaging 5hr each?

At this point I think Chris would have legitimately been better off if he had just made SQ42 with FMV. Really embraced it, you know? At least then there would be something. Edit: I am preemptively VERY DISAPPOINTED in everyone who takes that painfully low effort bait

Lazrin posted:smart is such an imbecile and you are all fools for following him and hanging on his every word What do you mean, it already did turn out fine. We're already playing Star Marine and Squadron 42 from when they were released in 2015 as promised, and we look forward to SC's beta release later this year! "Coming up in 2015, we will launch the FPS module, multicrew ships, the initial planetside/social experience and the first episode of the Squadron 42 single player adventure!"

Then we will play it and have fun. The 'game' continues to be an absolute train wreck of comedy and fraud? Then we watch it unravel and have fun.
