So this happened;

Turned out that is *was* the end, because Steam pulled their accounts and the game.

Edit:
They switched out the link to the video in their message:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_QSQrJyvc4

Steams SOP right now dealing with prima donna poo poo developers is to yank their games from steam and then ban their accounts. It happened with digital homicide and their poo poo titles after they threatened to sue steam and some steam users because they wrote mean reviews.

I know memes are generally lazy humour, but Dolvak honestly has me thinking "Not sure if trolling or really stupid." You've got to be pretty far into cult mentality to react to someone complimenting you by ranting about how they're twisting your words. Twisting by, uh, linking to exactly what you said, in full. I was going to say we'll see people getting refunds and still damning Derek, but then I remembered that's already happened. I don't think I have any sympathy for the people who still have money in this now.

Yeah - it's hilarious. And that's why we continue to make fun of them. 24-7

This is what I think too.

They'll have fire sales where mysterious benefactors roll in and clean everything out. From assets of models (probably will be sold to junky mobile game devs wanting good art), to the more important hardware. Cameras, rigging, lighting, ridiculous amounts of designer furniture... all sold to (most likely) friends of Chris Roberts. Get a $5000 chair for $5! Thanks bud!

I think the other, not yet started, scam is going to be how they offload all their equipment onto other companies. I bet friends will get all the mocap stuff, tons of equipment, etc, and after everything burns to the ground where CIG has nothing to give back, Chris and Sandi will go working for that company and keep doing the Hollywood dream, with successfully laundered hardware free and clear.

Oh yeah, have no illusions, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank. There will be no justice at the end of this, only laughs at the marks.

Man, just imagine how cool they'd be if they could actually make a video game. Is that like a new model or something they're peddling in front of them?

Please tell me a rabid backer printed that and not that CIG and Co commissioned someone to create an actual model. My heart tells me CR had it made for a FMV scene in SQ42...

e: or cake... I'd go with cake. Especially since cake eating seems to be the only thing Santa Monica can accomplish.

I know this is a joke, but usually when you pick on somebody you don't give them the body of a young lifeguard. Maybe though that's a real photo of Derek and they added the diapers? If so, that's a pretty impressive bod!

I honestly don't know how you can seriously compare SC with that. They are nothing alike in scope or goals. This is new territory.

When you are retreading old ground its easier to make predictions. No one communicates more volume wise than CIG hands down and frankly because of the nature of development things change.

You should have been smothered at birth.

Same. If there is one thing they are able to do, it is produce a bunch of polished space theme assets. If only someone made a game to put them in.
