Does anyone have the link to the interview / article where Chris said there wasn't enough money to burn to keep this train wreck going?

Asking for a friend.

They have about a year's buffer at current rates. Which is roughly what everyone has roughly worked out from UK financials and the industry standard 10k/employee-month.

You have a low IQ, because you are probably a native english speaker. This language that you use in your mind put you in the sub-human category, but it's not a curse.

This obvious refund step about a scam is a first step ; you'll have to take more, but you can be a fonctional human before your death, I believe in you. Good luck.

Seeing the outrageous amounts spent on f2p titles, it also gives you easy access to recruit naggers and teach them easy ways to max out daddies credit card for the 'verse.

If Chris had tried to do Galaxy on Fire 3 maybe he could have pulled it off... Nahh--he'd have wavy armed that to death too...

This is legit sad if true and I really hope it's not the case.

On another topic, I just finished Pillars of Eternity, which is certified Good poo poo. Ya'll should play that game if you haven't played that game because it is a good game to play and Durance is my spirit animal.

On to Tyranny now. And I hope Torment gets released by the time I finish. But probably won't because I'm a terd that blazes through video games.

MURDERER


I asked for their roadmap to the 100 system universe to see if they would be willing to address concerns, but was promptly shuttled off to their CS team. After the initial "are you sure you want a refund? Wait for 2.6 first!" email, CIG was very courteous and professional.

For me, the moment of realization was the Star Marine delay/cancellation. "Weeks out," regular status updates, surprise cancellation. Once they lose credibility, it's over. Instead of regaining trust, they doubled down on dreams instead.

At least you dropped the gimmick. I assume this is a new one though.

Can't you just be yourself? This is just a thread on some random forum. There is nothing magical about being here.


I felt they had actually stopped the full on surveillance ages ago. I think and I hope this is just a coincidence.

You idiot: They're required to release that information on going public. Yes - they lost 618k on your poo poo-rear end release and were desperate to begin recuperating. You spent so much in development up to that point and couldn't produce, so they compelled you to do so. Talk about revisionist history: every word you said is documented in those google groups: internet archives can be a bitch, but you see, facts aren't hard. Lies are.

Oh, so at least we can be certain you are someone heavily active on /r/DerekSmart. For others, they are the one that uses semi-colons heavily. Sorry if this is old news. Sorry for doxxing.

He felt he had to put that up on his website? That's hardly a cutting edge platform, the FX-8350 sits between i5's and i7's in terms of performance. A stock i7-4790k would poo poo all over that thing.
