Hey man, I enjoy your comedy stylings as much as anyone. But you've gotta stop pre-hyping these minor updates. Like, the day the payroll checks start bouncing, what are you going to post that could possibly grab attention? You haven't got anything left to escalate the rhetoric.

I'm not a game scientist but probably one.

Once I released my first commercial product depending on success I might expand my company to be able to do more work and stuff.

You seem really upset since you've basically reposted the same righteous indignation three times in the last two pages. Are you still in, and if so for how much?

I can't remember the loan agreement (and I'll be damned if I'll start trawling through it on my weekend), but the loan term might allow CIG to license its copyright to third parties. That or Crobberts might be trying to sell/license the IP on the condition that the buyer pays off the Coutts loan so Coutts no longer have an interest in the IP (lol).

Personally I think it would be hilarious if CIG just sold everything and left it as another company's problem.

"Dear backers,

This is a very difficult letter to write; as you know, we've made history as being the largest crowdfunded game in history and thanks to your support we were able to build a studio to bring you the BDSSE.

Unfortunately, the costs involved in making this game are proving just too high for something like crowdfunding to support and if we continue on at this rate CIG will be insolvent in a few months. As a result of this realisation, and after careful consultation with the other heads of studios, I have decided that it's in CIG's best interest that we transfer all of the development work that SC requires to a different studio; one that has a publisher backing it so that money is no longer a long-term concern in SC's future.

Fear not! I will remain part of this project as a creative consultant, to ensure that our vision of the BDSSE is not compromised!

With this in mind, I am happy to announce that, from tomorrow onwards, all development of SC will be done by Microsoft Studios Gearbox Software, a company well known for its high-quality products and consumer friendliness, who I'm sure will produce a game up the high standard that SC's IP demands.

Best wishes

Chris Robberts.

P.S. I'll be on holiday for the next year, please direct any inquiries regarding this letter to Ben Lesnick.

P.P.S No refunds, lol"

Going to summarize this for people who don't want to read it:

<open with stolen goon art>
Self Aggrandizement
I called it in my first blog
I called it in the ELE blog
Here's a link to my blog about their terms of service and how they keep changing it.
Here's a link to my blogs where they denied somebody refunds and then that person went to the CA authorities and they stopped denying refunds.
Here's a link to my blogs about their engine and how it can't work and how I called that they were going to switch to Amazon's.
Here's a link to my blogs about how they're going to ship a MVP and then bail. None of this has happened but I'm right anyway.
Here's about fifty links to my blogs about their financial problems where I've been saying they would run out of money any day now for about two years. Here's a link to my blog about them taking some tax credits in the UK which totally confirms the rest of my blogs. Here's a link to my blog about a rumor posted on reddit that they may or may not be seeking $75m which also totally confirms the rest of my blogs.

Now, the new bit:
Here's a link to my completely empty tweet predicting total failure in the next two week time period.
Vague hand waving about how many people are talking to me.
People say Chris Roberts is looking to get out, and that other people are getting out. Shocking Revelation
People say that Chris Roberts is difficult to work with. Holy poo poo
I can't actually give you any detail on what is going on because my sources etc. etc.
Here is a link to literally the only new piece of information, and it is the new shell corporation as linked in the thread about three or four pages ago.

PS this is not a mock post, that is the actual summary of the article.

quote:

The developers behind Kickstarter successes Star Citizen and Kingdom Come: Deliverance are entering into an unofficial partnership that will allow both teams to share technical knowledge, Cloud Imperium head Chris Roberts confirmed on the official Star Citizen website.

The partnership began after Roberts saw the debut trailer for Kingdom Come, he writes, explaining how his interest in Kingdom Come's character creation system led to contacting the game's developers at Warhorse.

"Star Citizen doesn't need peasants and knights... but it does need a robust character creation system for the persistent universe," Roberts wrote. "And that technology is exactly what Warhorse is building for the CryEngine."

Who said he wrote that Glassdoor review? The review I posted wasn't even for the same role. I just suggest it was related because it was Austin office goings-on...

Good for both of them that they got out happy, really.
