agreed, these idiots are talking about how awesome the Hurricane looks when its essentially two ships smashed together like diarrhetic terds in the lawn. These people will continue to feed the beast if crobs came out and told them he has no intentions of making a video game and they are solely funding his over-the-top living lifestyle.

Please clarify what do you mean by successfully. Thank you.

I'll my account if Derek is successfully able to file suit (not small claims, but for the KickStarter claims he originally made) against CIG before this calendar year is over. Put up or shut up Derek.

Did you forget how to quote? I didn't post the stuff you're quoting. You should probably go back and read it. Then fix it. Then get a drink.

This would make a lot of sense.

There was talk awhile back of how streamers always had $600+ chariots to just give away and how the grey market always has stock of any of the ultra limited one time only ships that cost the most.

Some of the grey market stores being CIG workers would explain a ton of things.

It's impossible to prove too since you could never get an accurate survey of the quantities of the limited ships, or really even find out if Manager #3 was selling $5,000 JPEGs while they weren't available for retail sale, and then more of them got released at a later date.

Not sure I believe what TheAgent was told, but it makes sense that they're selling ships and packages at discounts to certain parties. Too bad we can't prove it. And the only way to prove it is if i) someone spills the beans ii) it comes out during a lawsuit discovery process

I keep going back and forth on how this fiasco will end.

Part of me thinks gradual layoffs yet I have a feeling the website will stop working one day and this dumpster fire will explode into some supernova event.

Even if everything went nuclear for CIG, it wouldn't involve a lawsuit with Derek. It would involve front doors being locked and checks bouncing, or teams showing up in blue windbreakers with 3 letter names emblazoned on them.

ManofManyAliases posted:

Sure. Derek constantly claimed that CIG broke its 'contract' with backers, especially in terms of the old TOS. Fine:

Derek technically fell under the old TOS. This is what I mean by a successful filing:

1) Derek must submit a claim that he performed upon his contract with CIG and that CIG breached this contract, entitling him to damages.
2) Derek must file in proper jurisdiction and select appropriate venue to file the claim.
3) CIG will likely respond with a motion to dismiss.

If Derek can get past motion to dismiss, judge issues a scheduling order and parties move to discovery, I will then TOXX my account.

And yet, year-after-year of Derek's claims of CIG about to go bust have proved false. Isn't he tired of it? Let's see him force CIG's hand (if he's so confident).

If they can keep this going through 2018 I would be so excited.

I bolded that last line for your old-man eyes. You may not have specifically said that you will be the one to file a claim, but I'm the one putting up my account as a challenge. You have LUSTED for a chance to be a part of discovery, so do it. Follow your dreams.

You're a moron who knows as much about the law, as you do about iron-clad ToS

Pay attention; you might learn something:

- I lost my legal standing when they refunded me. So I no longer have any cause of action for which to sue under the ToS

- I can sue them for only two things i) accusing me of stalking and threatening me with criminal action ii) defamation as per croberts Oct 2015 diatribe

I have opted not to sue them at this time because, unlike morons on the Internet and movie super-villains, smart people like me always have a plan that we tend not to broadcast.

But don't worry though; when the time comes, you'll know. I guarantee it.


In case you hadn't noticed; I don't even have to lift a finger, and CIG is in full blown E.L.E. mode all on their own. It's only a matter of time now.

Guys showing up in blue windbreakers has nothing to do with anyone's time frame of CIG going bust. Also, in general, you can't force someone's hand on going bust.

Your statements are just thoughtless flailing.

I mean, they get flak for t-posing out and not having adequate stances and animation mixes on their rigs, but when they make an animation to add fluidity to their characters, they get flak as well.

Is it bad that they have one artist/designer working on animations while someone else works on other tasks? Having multiple roles is a good thing, no? Isn't that how it works?

Good to see another old fashioned, quality MoMA beltdown in action again. I was worried he might have moved past it, but thankfully he manages to step up to the flailing challenge once more.

Hard to call it a meltdown on this one. Derek does throw around the "legal action" card quite a bit. Even if he is just trying to troll, the joke gets stale after a couple years.
