No. He really isn't. He's JAQ:ing, posting content-void bullet points, and refusing to actually discuss anything.

He has repeatedly been asked questions that would let him expound on his view — eventually letting the thing bloom into an actual discussion — but at every turn, he avoids doing exactly that. He's even worse than you in terms of not actually offering any kind of sensible discussion, and that's saying something.

What evidence has he, or anyone else, brought up that would clearly state whether or not a criminal, or other, investigation is being actioned against CIG?

THEN please tell me how you know the inner workings of a government- or consumer-based agency. Please also detail how you would know before anyone else, and then answer my Bin Laden question.

Unlike Lazrin, I actually have a better idea to both of your points, but can't discuss either with you because 1) I just cannot and 2) you can suck my oval office. This is an SC thread, not a bin laden one.

So you are confirming that you, and Lazrin, have no actual evidence and cannot refute my argument. You also confirm that neither of you know the inner workings of any agencies that would perform investigations on companies for fraud or other criminal activities.

You also aren't answering my Bin Laden question. Why do you hate Bin Laden? Do you wish he was still around. You know, just being Bin Laden and stuff?

Never does. Lazrin makes broad generalizations and gives no specific information on anything he's refuting, almost like he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's probably one of those people who thinks he's the smartest person in every room he finds himself in, so he doesn't need to actually be educated.

Good list but it's missing a lot of features promised for specific jpegs. Core features like drink mixing, astronomy, science & research etc.

If the Hairy Roberts is never in game it's a failure at the first hurdle

That's only one year's worth of promises, so multiply that list by a factor of 3 or 4 and you'll be in the ball park. When Chris talked about the 'docking tech' feature he actually said it was the very next thing that a specific named developer would be working on - that was last year. The whole thing is a joke.

Every item on that list was explicitly stated by Chris Roberts to be on its way, and those 10FTC videos used to get coverage in the games press too - not any more. INN reported all these as promised features too - they stopped doing that a while ago.

And now! The 10FTC videos have seemingly stopped altogether - and what happened next? The funding chart tanked.

People have been paying for dreams, and some of them are still stuck in fantasy land. CIG have now stopped dangling these promises in front of people, has no one else noticed this? They KNOW internally that they cannot deliver this stuff.

So what did CIG do next? They get a German gaming site to do their dirty work for them, here's another bunch of promises guys, go get your dreams.

There is some hard info coming out regarding the NPC-driven economy in Star Citizen. Actual figures and financial modelling being shown, plus in-game dynamically generated news articles on corporate profits/losses. Wow. CIG has been busy.

Catch all this and more in an in-depth, exclusive article in Lithuanian Cooking Weekly, coming to newsstands in August, only $8.95.


Make sure you take a moment to appreciate your monthly CIG Subscriber payment. I'm sure Ortwin does!

They want more publicity to reach the game, and a counter to the propaganda spread by that one refund. Putting it in a pretty much SC fanbase exclusive AtV doesn't accomplish that. We here are all going to be paying attention to CIG at Gamescom, the average person is not. In order to reach those people and possibly bring them in without wasting millions on ads, they show some really cool stuff in a cooking magazine that will be in circulation for a month with the game on the cover. Don't worry, I have a feeling Gamescom and Citizencon will be pretty awesome.

So what is your position at CIG et al., again?
Or do you mean “cannot” in the sense of “cannot offer any kind of coherent rebuttal or supporting evidence” as opposed to “I'm not allowed to.”


What curious definition of “‘personal’ attack” are they operating on here? And what's this non-dispute related to? Some kind of statement on the author's behalf, I presume?

“He exemplified the ad hominem with something that only questioned his professional ethics, so therefore his claims about personal attacks from rabid fanboys is unwarranted. And also, he didn't respond to the ad hominem, so therefore it is definitely true.”
