Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Ah. Well that's citizen logic for you.
“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.”
Imagine a redditor knowing what an ad hominem is.

Are you saying that the bowtie isn't duplicated in the cloning process? That all of Alien: Resurrection was a lie? :stare:

Ehm… that's new? Where are they getting that from?
Or — much like how everything they want from SC is already in ED, as if they were fundamentally confused about which game is which — are they confusing Chris with Braben and/or Bell?

"When I first met Chris I bought him an expensive bottle of Scotch. He said he didnt really like scotch and maybe his dad would want it. Hes a vodka guy. I told him I'd bring him an expensive vodka next time and he said thanks. Lando came over and took the scotch so he was happy."

"Lando doesnt drink. But good on you man!"

You should have backed Transverse!
Lazer'n:

The whole FBI/investigations/someone has to go to jail thing. Who do you think is going to demand that? Do you think it is going to be from Derek and the people in this thread? Most everyone here has grabbed a lifepod off this flaming wreck off a project. Sure, right now, a handful of folks are contacting various agencies trying to get some money back. For the most part, it seems like it is working--leavers are getting their money back and CIG gets to carry on with business as usual.

The demands for someone's head will come from everyone on Reddit. A few of the more fervent posters will vanish into the nether as CIG folks/no one left to pay them to post. Of the 80% left on Reddit, 20% won't care/accept the demise, but that 60% are going to be so butt hurt they aren't going to stop raging for a few months. Besides the comedy, it will be interesting to see what comes from that period. I suspect as they cope with the stages of grief, the anger stage will be thoroughly entertaining.

What will be the best part? Six months or so after the collapse, maybe nine months. The best game developer in the history of the world, Chris Roberts, will rise from the ashes and start a new kickstarter. This time he will have learned about scope creep and just need a few more years to rewrite the game using the Unreal 4 engine. The name of the new game: Profiteer! Just like Privateer except you give Chris money.

I'm glad this most recent backer exuberance has a firm time limit on it.

CIG has 160 days to deliver all of this poo poo.

I'm not even saying they should have to release it in that amount of time, they are just going to lose a nonzero % of the remaining backers if this turns out to be yet another empty promise.
