So this is pretty much blatant proof that the funding tracker is bullshit, right? I mean you can track the history of the contest updates and see there's absolutely no correlation whatsoever to an equivalent amount of funding.

The contest is for lifetime referrals (goes back to Oct 2015), only $200 needed to be spent to get 5 people on the leader board.

Can we all pause for a minute to reflect on how weird the Hello Kitty thing is? I mean, above and beyond the fact that they are ripping off the artwork of a company that basically exists to sell one single image and sue anyone who misuses it. This is a game with a population that is 99.9% male and, as far as I've ever seen, is mostly composed of the really creepy kind of redpill nonsense spouting douchebag that you see on a lot of on the internet these days. The point is, it's not really the prime demographic for Hello Kitty. Like, I doubt that a hot pink motorbike with a hello kitty logo is going to motivate a whole hell of a lot of people. Where's the blatant Mark Hamill tie in? How about some old Wing Commander product placement? Something relevant to the crowd you're trying to trick into selling your non-game?

Not sure who Hello Kitty is targeting besides the 8-11 female population, who probably isn't made of enough money to support CIG. Though I never liked Hello Kitty, and as a grown adult I still don't like Hello Kitty.

But to CIGs credit, it takes some real direct stupidity to go to market with a Hello Kitty knockoff. Probably the only thing worse would be going after Mickey Mouse or something.

Oh, yeah. James Brand. Well, that's kind of his fault then, isn't it?

Almost as much as the doxxing that linking to an IMDB page. They literally are in a their own bubble of marginal human competence.

Edit: ^^^ I'm waiting for them to whip out an entire 'homage du designer's republic' at some point. These guys were responsible for the graphic design for Pop will Eat Itself and the Wipeout games before succumbing to their own ego/success sometime toward the end of the nineties, coinciding with Gatecrasher disappearing up it own arse.

if they really followed the thread they would know
  • I don't work for CIG and never stated I did
  • the leak email is now gone, baby (shut down for spam)
  • all of the people I once knew or tertiary friends are now gone from CIG (as of 2016)
  • I have never cared enough to verify anything ever sent to me

Neither one is wearing a ring. Which probably lends credence to the insider rumors about another divorce (they were divorced once before, and re-married)

Every time I think CIG can't do something any more obvious to draw attention to the fact that this entire project is a scam from stem to stern, they do this Hello Kitty poo poo.

The only way any of this makes any sense, in any universe, is if on the next episode of "10 For The Chairman" Chris Roberts reaches up and pulls off his latex face mask, revealing Andy Kaufman beneath.
