the reason why moma hasn't refunded is that he's a loving CIG employee and probably didn't pay a drat cent for anything he has and why do you all keep engaging with him like he's going to ever honestly engage with you

I kinda feel for Derek in regards to the "Well where's the ELE?" taunts because actual extinctions are often slow, drawn out processes where the population of whatever is going extinct generally just fades away. The ELE is more like the tipping point period where afterwards nothing could be done to salvage the project and everything afterwards just stretches the demise out (or hastens it). You can ask when the ELE is, but the truth is probably closer to it being when the ELE was. It's arguably already happened and at this point there's nothing to wait for but the death of the project. Some backers will see otherwise but there was surely a time when CIG/RSI management could have identified their path of development was failing and rectified their poor practices but neglected to do so because the existence of whale money pouring in made them consider themselves on track or at least protected from the potential perils of failure. The ELE by Derek's standards might be different to what I'm saying due to what he knows, but clearly there was a point when they should have sat down and reconsidered their options and been financially capable of shouldering that burden, but instead went back to recording more expensive mocap sequences and producing small bite-sized morsels of barely functioning game to appease the backers who think they're still working hard at making something. Now there is no going back because they lack the skill and finances to do it. TheAgent's stuff about Chris going on another vacation (if true and hey I'm willing to believe it more than MOMA's sources) suggests that this inevitable extinction is becoming so obvious within the company that actively avoiding the office was necessary to sustain the illusion of success to one man's personal pride, wounded as it was after the Gamescom debacle.

ManofManyAliases posted:This was the most reasonable and poignant response in many pages of this thread, which is why I chose to respond to it. You gave money to someone that constantly, over a period of years, lied to you. You don't check on Star Citizen much now because it hurts to think about it. Chris Roberts would love you, you've already justified losing the money as you could afford it, this means you don't intend to do anything about the deception used to get your money and further indicates you'll let him get away with it. I got scammed out of £50 by a guy in 1992, I was dumb as hell and trusted a guy I'd just met that I thought was the cousin of a friend, I treated it as a life lesson and decided not to let it happen again. How you treat this lesson is up to you but I wouldn't ignore it, CIG have your pledge level and your email address, when CIG folds someone is going to make money from selling those, easy mark, email addresses. Also if your source for what's happening is a CIG developer on facebook you should consider that anyone still working there in 2017 doesn't make good decisions either.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Hey MOMA, if you don't give a poo poo about your 3k remaining, could you refund your ships and send that cash my way? I can think of a few things I would do with the money. I once tried this logic with a co-worker who used to go to a bar after shift and feed 20s into the Video Lottery Terminal. I even offered to periodically make exciting noises and give some back. He never took me up on it.

Sandweed posted:But since you insist, MOMA please make a 10 min video of your favorite moments playing SC. That's setting the bar awfully high. Editing video can be a total pain in the rear end, and it's probably not something a lot people enjoy doing with their free time, even if they actually enjoy playing Star Citizen. So instead of asking anyone for a video, maybe just ask for ten sentences describing what is actually fun about playing SC as it currently exists. Not even ten separate things that are fun about Star Citizen, just ten sentences describing what they've had a good time doing in it -- i.e., no dreams, no theorycrafting, no things that "look promising," and no things that "they've said will be improved in the future," just actual fun experiences they've had playing the game. In this particular case, we all know MoMA's capable of dashing off ten competent sentences in no time at all, so all he'd have to do is think of the fun things he's done in Star Citizen or its associated "game modules," and most of his work would already be done. I suspect finding any fun things to write about will be the problem, though; as far as I can see, there's nothing Star Citizen offers to players right now that isn't done much, much better by at least a half-dozen other games, none of which ask for thousands of dollars or demand unlimited patience. If there's something entertaining about SC for anyone besides its long list of promises that never seem to materialize, it'd be interesting to hear about it: I don't know that it would ever be worth thousands, but it'd be worth something.

I got scammed once when I was 18 (and didn't get a refund). I was trying to put together a little touch screen computer for my car. This was back in 2002 when they weren't quite so ubiquitous and I was building my own. I lost an eBay bid on a perfect little touch screen and then the seller contacted me afterward saying he'd sell me a second one, just send money order to xxx. Well I was stupid and I sent it, and lost three hundred dollars. What I didn't do was go get on a touch screen enthusiast forum and spend the next two years angrily defending the guy who scammed me, insisting that he was going to come through and even if he didn't who cares haha I'm not a dumb rear end you're all stupid for doubting him unless you're right in which case you're all stupid for spending so much time arguing with me trying to tell me I'm wrong so EITHER WAY I AM RIGHT  Sometimes it's important to accept you were wrong. That's how you get less wrong in the future.

Self publishing vs evil greedy publishers Arbitrary dates means cut features vs no dates means all the features Naysayers say it can't be done vs heroic devs knowing it can be done Old, stagnant blind games industry vs young, upcoming independent and highly funded team Derek the villain vs Chris the hero saving PC gaming Chris describing other games doing it wrong vs Star Citizen doing it right PC gaming's fall from grace vs Star Citizen's journey of the hero Classic archetypes as employed by Holywood writers and successful authors since forever, ka-ching here's your millions of dollars. All criticism feeds into the ongoing narrative and has its archetypal place, triggering the counter narrative as a programmed and deeply held idealogical belief. It's sheer genius if you ask me, and it's straight outta Holywood. Anyone who expected to make or receive a game is long gone, the remaining narrative structure has crystallised and all the players know their roles. Buy a pre-order and become a hero.
