I must admit that I thought that Gamebryo was made by Bethesda. But I meant only Bethesda games with my previous post.

Understandable. Apart from maybe Civ 4, they could be said to be the most high profile games that engine has had and I tend to think more about the engine behind the game more when the game doesn't work properly, which seems to be most of the time for Bethesda's games.

It's the only piece of ammo they've got, so all their unease and fear gets vented out through it. Remember, the louder you denounce the unbelievers, the better Star Citizen gets!

The dream of r/dereksmart has always been that some miraculous authority figure would descend upon them from on high and say THANK YOU, TIRELESS CITIZENS, THIS EVIDENCE WILL BE USED TO SEND DEREK SMART TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR CRIMES AGAINST DREAMS. Take that away, and even they start to realise what a bunch of shitmongers they are.

When the dream recedes, mundane backers "just" have to face the fact that they had too much confidence in the wrong people and might be about to lose their money. r/dereksmart posters have to face the fact that no, their behaviour isn't justified, It Is They Who Are The Arseholes.

Interesting account, friend. I'm glad you got your refund, sad that it had to be via the sheer incompetence of CIG on display.

I believe everybody still has this inkling of thought that "Surely it's not that bad, surely they can at least make something kind of decent... surely?" (Don't call me Shirley joke here).

But it seems like they can't, won't, and couldn't even if they really wanted to.

Don't get me wrong, I had extremely high hopes for S.C, hell we are gamers.
But without a miracle network code this game is empty. :(

This is why when I see someone make a comment about this on other forums/social media my first question to them is "What's your end-game here? Do you think you're going to stop Derek Smart from posting? Do you think that this posting will help the game's development in any way? Or do you think that if the game is released as advertised some kind of retribution will happen to goons who were cackling in the wings?"

I'm honestly curious about whether they've thought this far ahead.

The hadn't thought about this but it makes the investing side make a lot more sense. So long as you think CIG will continue to offer refunds, the value of your jpegs has a floor of their refund value. So you can grey market and stockpile and ride out ups and downs. You're playing with a rigged set of dice.

How does a refund work if there are packages in my account that I didn't buy from CIG? I assume I don't get money for those? What about for packages I gifted somewhere?

Look I'm just a country lawyer, not qualified to distinguish between your slavery, your overwork, and your normal crunch. But didn't them folks at CIG release their own documentary about how hard they were working? Called it "Road to CitizenCon" if I'm not mistaken. Lot of folks with tired eyes in that film. I reckon ya'll should look into that, member of the jury. If a company's so used to overwork, they make a video about it as a marketing tool, mayhaps they're working them folks a little too hard.

CIG has shown themselves to be incompetent at every facet of this project. They can't even design a patcher or manage a community of backers. I can't imagine they would be remotely competent at handling the technical and social challenges of sustaining an online game and its community.

There is an implied amount of non consent. After all, the citizens paid good money to be the untouchable top dogs in space. It would seem so very wrong if the non paying peasants were allowed to raise their hands against them. That just wont do, that wont do at all!
