Yeah, especially because even in your dreams it's 100 players and one Bengal would take up most of that.

I still love that Gremlich twit demanding I prove I wasn't Derek. I sure as God made little green apples wasn't going to send him to my live stream (which doesn't exist), but when I did show proof the Twitter account was better than eight years old, he questioned what that proved.

It's amazing how those rear end-clowns are always demanding "proof"; yet they don't seem to be chanting at CIG to provide proof they will ever live up to their promises. It's amazing.

Samizdata posted:

Seconded. And more so, if you do supply them proof, they stare at it blankly and claim that doesn't count. So, I guess that is the part of the brain Crobbers triggers?

had a conversation about star citizen today at work that was pretty depressing

i'm pretty sure i'm going to see that coworker on reddit later today wondering how to convert a non believer or how to fight derek smart lies because they got physically irritated when i brought up that it seems like a scam to me and i'll wait until there is something more than just a tech demo from a fps engine.

There's a bunch of nut jobs on /r/ds - right now - debating what this meme means (hint: it has nothing to do with the Costner case)

This is actually the one true weakness of the entire CIG mechanism. Once they accepted the very first dollar for what Chris went public with and outlined what he was offering at a later date, they entered into a consumer based contract. Unless it is a donation to an actual recognized religious institution and it was given explicitly as a donation, then CIG has breached that contract and no signing a new TOS for what you previously paid for is valid. This is as basic as it gets. Cig can deny no one a refund. That is just not how that works in a court of law. Their corporate policy that now has a record of issuing full refunds without question and insisted it, such as Derek Smart as a great example, does not give them the right to deny any portion of a refund after having failed to meet those original obligations without question. And if they are found to have issued refunds for people that purchased in after the new TOS means they can get an unobstructed refund as well.
But back to what I have come to call as The Great Roberts Begging Day, he made specific promises of what that game will have when you signed up to pledge pre-purchase. It does not matter one bit that they had a "vote" on expanding or changing a thing. It does not matter one bit. You bought in for feature X. The moment they removed feature X, you have a legit beef to get your money back with the same amount of interest that CIG profited from having your money to earn compounded interest. And then at any time anyone can open a can of civil suit foot up Chris's rear end for financial infidelity by enriching his personal life using funds that were given so that the game would have feature X in the motherfucker too WHEN he said it would be done. He opened his rear end up big to the person that has a good rainmaker lawyer to throw at it. There is no defense when it is the CEO himself that is making these claims and dates. It just wouldn't be seen that way when you are sitting in that courtroom. And I think before Chris ever gets near that, he will make a very sweet offer to settle before his and Sandi's private life are aired out on public record. Especially not over some refund.

The Agent recently posted Crobbers income and before he was getting this SC money, he was making $90k a year. Not bad money at all. Unless you live in L.A., then it becomes pretty middle class. Not bad if you're single, but if you have a family? Think of Al Bundy and go from there. So now he is making almost a $1mil. maybe that by the next financial reports. That car he has is about $130k and is not leased. They do not lease any custom Porsche's like this that I am aware of. It does have the upgraded Brembo brakes like mine. So he does own it outright. I would be more curious to see if its being written off as a company asset or not.

See? This is the kind of person that likes to obsessively e-stalk people all day to make fun of their dinner plans, family, clothes, hair style, their over 9000 word fanfictions or encourages a mod to doxx, and then has the gall to feel indignant when called a weirdo for that.
This is why I remind you all that this stuff while not illegal still makes you look like a hosed up creep, and why I believe you all need reminding that doxxing is bad, and sending death threats is insane, which are illegal.

All because of a videogame that doesn't even exist.

If you're not liquid enough to make timely payments to all employees over a duration of seven total months, you are not really a going concern and should wrap up your operations in a respectable, dignified manner. Jesus.

Serious question:

Does anyone know why cruiser and battleship classes are missing from the UEE navy?

They have a poo poo ton of engineering debt, yet seem to be missing two very important classes in the whole "WW2 in space" theme.

there's been a few places I've known personally and professionally that have done this

it starts off as a delay tactic because of course there's going to be money coming in, look at our AR and P&L and there's money right loving there, it'll be here soon

well no one told me the stuff I'm seeing on those books was wrong or off or cooked up, but I'll get an investor to cover our poo poo

so another month goes by and now my employees haven't been paid and while I havent secured more cash yet, I'm sure it's coming soon (I am still paying myself, however)

by month three people are still coming in and I'm amazed how dumb they are and I get the gently caress out of there and shut down all high level communications because they'll figure out that the company isn't actually around when they come into work one day and the building management company is asking for me before they turn off the lights
