Their supposed argument is "money laundering" but in reality it's because they want to keep as much money as possible.

There's no money laundering at play unless you're using accounts local to a particular and tiny set of nations, and if that were the case, they shouldn't have done business with you in the first loving place. So this is some incredibly weak bullshit they're pulling. Anyone they're trying to snow with this should push back. There are no regulations preventing them from properly refunding the full value of a given account.

Arguably they are refunding it, just not all of it to you. What I want to know is what they do when the account the excess supposedly goes to is closed.

As if you even need to ask.

They keep the money.

That's why people should push to get the refund for everything in their account. CIG will certainly try to keep everything else as free money.

I had two accounts that I had CIG close at the same time. Account A had gifted to account B. Took some work but I was able to get CIG to agree that I owned both accounts, then CIG refunded A. CIG at first refused to refund the full worth of account B, stating that as parts of it were gifted it could not be refunded. I pointed out that as the gifts were from my other account A, that returning them to A would mean that A should be refunded that amount. CIG put up a fight, going back to the fact that gifted items would not be refunded. After explaining to them that if they had closed account B first, then the gifted amount would have been returned to account A and then I would get that refunded, and then explaining that attempting to keep the gifted amount was the same as theft, CIG returned the full amount.


Basically CIG really did try and just pocket the gifts.

I'm sure we're all willing to bet that they don't do poo poo, they keep the unearned revenue and whoever's keeping the books probably has a vaguely named account to sweep this poo poo into. If for some idiotic reason it was their policy to refund the value of a gift back to the giver rather than the receiver, well... That reasoning is dumb, but there's already a way to handle a payment you can't get to the recipient. It's unclaimed property and should be reported as such to the authorities as part of their regular unclaimed property/escheatment statement. That means putting a date on the refund transaction, identifying the recipient, and forking over the owed property to the gubmint, so CIG doesn't get to keep the cash!

Makes you think how important proper game mechanics truly are, and how irrelevant graphic fidelity can be.

Then again, I guess if someone never experienced the original X-Wing and especially TIE Fighter, hey will look at this and simply shrug

:monocle:

I hope they rebalance the gameplay a bit though. X-Wing was amazing for the time, but it hasn't aged as well as TIE Fighter.

e: the actual "you haven't been paying attention" guy's response is somehow even better:



One day they're going to have a revelation that the info they are telling people exists actually does not exist at all, and the game that is being built isn't remotely close or capable of supporting what they think the info was supposed to say.

Until then though, full steam ahead! :downs:

That's perfectly valid. If they're not doing what they say they do (and they didn't return gifted items to me until I called them out), then that's basically theft.

Allowing the other party to correct their mistakes is cool and good way to avoid litigation, but pocketing money is a crime. Why the gently caress isn't anybody reporting this? The attempt is in itself illegal.

This is fine, and super easy to add. Just build a rich mining land between two warring NPC factions. Their AI will naturally find the resources and a dynamic war will begin as they scour the planet.

This is already talked about with dynamic AI. I won't find the link for you though because you didn't pay attention.

Also the maps are Planet sized. So you could really just get all involved in this war on this one planet for the whole game and never feel like you're missing out. You can trust me because I'm evocati and I've already banked 2000 hours into the PTU and feel like I've gotten 200 times my initial $20k investment already.

Look for my article on the new INN site, I'm a donating Trailblazer, friend!
