I don´t think he is a coward. As Toast, he really is probably not at liberty of discussing it too much in depth in the open anyways. Either that or whatever he is going to post next on the matter has required to undergo a thorough filter at CIG first, which also takes time anyways. Either way I am pretty sure he is also busy preparing for the implications all this may have in the future for CIG.

Just give the poor guy some slack, will ya! :argh:


I wonder if he has to approve all of his posts through Sandi. Are they during Santa Monica business hours?

So roughly 100 refunds / month back then. Most refunds might be between 200 to 1k $. So talking totally out of my rear end 50k $ refunds a month. Still 600k per year. That could have been 4 more developers working on SC! drat leavers :argh:

Cloud Imperium Games refunds Star Citizen backer $2,500 after terms of service squabble

quote:

Developer and player clash over statement that ‘pledge amounts applied shall be non-refundable regardless of whether or not RSI is able to complete and deliver the game’

Star Citizen creator Cloud Imperium Games has returned almost $3,000 to one of its crowdfunders after US authorities became embroiled in a battle over the game’s terms of service agreement.
...
CIG released a statement explaining that it was not legally required to refund Streetroller, but had granted the return as a goodwill gesture.

“Having reviewed complainants interactions with our customer service agents, we have determined that it is also in our interests to terminate his participation in our fundraising community,” it said. “We are therefore agreeing to close complainant’s account permanently and we will issue a refund of his pledge promptly.”

Hell of a nice "goodwill gesture" CIG, you've finally pleased somebody by delivering something.

Star Citizen backer contacts California Attorney General for $2,500 refund

quote:

This isn’t the first time that Star Citizen backers have been frustrated with how long it has taken the game to come out. In June 2014, developer Chris Roberts said he was frustrated by Star Citizen scam accusations. Then in July 2015, over a quarter of backers said that a publicly available-refund option should be available.

Man it's nice to see that Streetrollers refund adventure not only led to him getting his refund, but made the gaming press blow up with stories about it. Hopefully this will lead to more people seeking refunds, now that they know CIG will falter under any legal pressure even in the states.
