I think the true sunk cost fallacy has yet to start. Majority of backers and whales still view CIG as healthy. If and when things are accepted as "Star Citizen is on the verge of collapse" we'll see good money thrown after bad. If the payday loan wasn't enough to wake up the masses, perhaps a giant layoff or studio closure will; assuming management can't keep such an event under wraps, which I believe they can at least for a few months.



Imagine a portion of stagnation has already occurred before the "YOU ARE HERE" :

I think you're right about being past the refund freeze because they did already try to shut down refunds last year. It just didn't take. The payday loan was probably in the cashflow issue stage and with the constantly shifting 3.0 release looming as the MVP we could very well be in the crisis stage.

3.0 is like Schrödinger's cat in that it is both the turning point that will shut down all the doubters for good AND the ELE that will kill the funding, cause a refund run, and cement Star Citizen as the biggest gaming fraud ever. It's only when 3.0 is released do we see that it is dead and has been dead since it was announced at Citcon last year. That's why the delays are happening. Everyone is afraid to look in the box and see that desiccated corpse.

This is what I've suspected for a while.
Although there are bound to be some genuine backers who:

● Can't grasp that what's being promised by CIG is simply impossible.

● Fail to see the marketing methods and endless ship sales as exploitative.

● Don't understand that CIG's complete lack of cohesive design methodology is a REALLY inefficient way to make a game (although the 'create the shiny assets before the gameplay mechanics' is a great way of bringing in that lovely lucre).

These people will defend the company come-what-may (particularly if they see others doing the same). I just can't believe that there can be that many of them.

So there must be others who know exactly how things stand, but have ulterior motives for their actions, the most likely being financial.

Derek all but directly said she's attention seeking, which I generally agree with, and they still think he's up to some kind of shenanigans with publicizing her refund.

Precisely.

My comment.

quote:

On the "left": The guys on /r/starcitizen_refunds/ dedicated to exposing Star Citizen as a SCAM, and helping backers get refunds. And no, not all of them are Goons.

On the "alt-off-right": The guys on /r/ds parked on a hate sub Reddit for targeted harassment against an individual saying bad stuff about a video game, while waging an Internet wide war against dissenting opinions on Star Citizen. The guys who see Derek Smart everywhere, and who can't stand the fact that the train-wreck they backed, and which - even as I type this - is coming to its explosive end - could possibly be a SCAM.

That said, as to your "tease" video, and opening description...

You do realize this is bullshit, right? And it's going to be just another fuel for discourse? Let me explain my POV.

"Her twitter post was blown up into a propaganda piece by one side and she was attacked by the other side"

If the above excerpt is in fact the sentiment expressed in that interview, then one thing is certain - it's only going to get worse.

People need to take responsibility for their actions. She Tweeted that she got a refund - as is her right. Then the "alt-off-right" got wind of it from my Twitter feed (they stalk it 24-7), created a Reddit thread out it etc. As did the other guys on the refunds sub, which is actually the correct place where it would be.

THEN, as if the Twitter nonsense wasn't bad enough, she decided to walk right up to the edge of the cliff, then walked off it, by going to Reddit to "explain" herself. As if she needed any justification or explanation on how she spends her money, why she got a refund etc.

This person (posted on a hate Reddit) below actually made a very good point. That was back when they had the conspiracy theory that the other side had anything to do with her story. We didn't.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart/comments/70wl5h/derek_smart_on_twitter_gee_gamedevs_are_gamers/dn6ertz/

The fact that her Twitter profile (https://twitter.com/Yakaru) indicated that she works for Amazon (games, but not Lumberyard), should have been a clue that she was stepping off a cliff, and about to drop into a minefield.

Then she did. And the rest is history.

The other side didn't use her as propaganda at all, and no more than ALL the other refund posts in that sub Reddit. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't a SINGLE post about her refund and how her dev role gave any credibility to it. Personally, as most people know, I have LOTS of industry people in my social media feed, especially on Facebook - and most of them were Star Citizen backers who got a refund without making a big deal out of it. In fact, until her fiasco, I'm still the only industry person whose forced refund ever went public. But that's ONLY because CIG, in their infinite wisdom, decided to issue a FALSE press statement to PC Gamer, and made a big deal out of it because of who I was, and because they saw me as a threat. You all can thank Ben Lesnick (yeah shocking, I know) for that one, as he was a proponent of that dumb and disastrous decision. I've been on their case since. I actually just covered this in my latest blog (http://dereksmart.com/2015/07/star-citizen-blogs/)

I personally had several Twitter DM exchanges with her, in which I even advised her NOT to delete her Tweets, as she was planning to do because of the harassment that those guys were levying against her. Funny story: I know people she has worked with; and when one of them reached out to me - after seeing the discussion in my feed - that was the ONLY reason why she and I even had a Twitter DM exchange. It is, after all, a very small industry.

This bullshit has NOTHING to do with Star Citizen. She was a backer. Until she wasn't. End of story. There is no story here, aside from the impending noise that whatever it is you are about to air, goes live. Then we're back where we started. To what end? What is there to be gained?

Hey, as I said, people have to take responsibility for their actions. At least, like she voluntarily made her refund public, doing an interview - regardless of merit or discourse - is her decision to make. Most of us are just in this Star Citizen fiasco for the lols.

Bring it.

And furthermore

quote:

Hey, it's your show, you can do what you want. Though I feel as if you didn't quite "get" what I was actually talking about.

The point that I was making has absolutely nothing to do with "defending" oneself. In fact, I quoted the part that you have in your descriptor. Here, so you don't have to scroll, I will copy and paste it again.

"So, the long and short, after Her twitter post was blown up into a propaganda piece by one side and she was attacked by the other side"

I found it to be inflammatory (trust me, I know all about that) and sets the wrong tone for whatever it is you're doing to be broadcast. You immediately made it about "two sides", this despite the fact it had nothing to do with that all.

I am commenting on this because clearly you have NO idea how this whole thing even blew up. The short version:

1) She Tweeted this: https://twitter.com/Yakaru/status/909673154431217664

2) Someone posted it in my Discord channel

3) I Tweeted this: https://twitter.com/dsmart/status/909832097455632386

4) The denizens of the /r/ds hate-Red, saw it. And just like they do with everything in my feed, they created an attack thread out of it, and proceeded to attack me and her. The same way they attack anyone who refunds from the project - even you (as you well know)

5) Goons got involved by creating their own thread (since it's about refunds) https://goo.gl/uLY75J

6) For whatever reason, she shows up on Reddit, to engage posters and "defend/explain" herself

7) As things got heated, both in her Twitter feed and on Reddit, she said she was going to delete her Tweet etc

8) During all that, both in my public Tweets and in our private exchange, I told her to just ignore them and to not respond

- The End.

So how exactly did I or even that one side (the "refunds" sub) use this for "propaganda"? The evidence is there that the only people who attacked and/or derided her, are the same toxic clowns parked on a hate-Red doing what they do 24-7 because you know, any dissenting opinion about Star Citizen is either Derek Smart, an alt, or someone who has betrayed the cult.

And guess what, as if that wasn't bad enough, your teaser descriptor "Star Citizen - The Yakaru Interview, A Look Inside CIG and SC" now has those same clowns making posts alluding to the fact that she worked for CIG on the side, didn't take a job there, has inner workings of the company etc. You know, ALL the things she would be STUPID to even comment on publicly IF in fact she decides to talk about ANY of that with you - or anyone for that matter. How exactly do you think she's going to give you a "look inside CIG and SC" without either breaching an NDA, or sending out a message to potential employers that she can't be trusted to keep company information secret? You know, the sort of thing that NDAs are designed for. And even IF she doesn't have an NDA, it's basically CAREER SUICIDE if she tells you ANYTHING (good, bad, or ugly) - on the record - about the inner workings of the company. And you would be complicit in that if you aired it.

I have to believe that you're better than this, and smart enough to fully research something like this before embarking on commentary that is not only inflammatory, but which also serves to skew the events as they unfolded.

Finally, the ONLY reason I am even responding is because, again, your teaser video appeared in my Discord channel. And since I was the one who did the original Tweet, I felt that I had to explain how it happened because clearly your version of the facts is tainted, and only serves to promote further discourse, rather than address anything. As if the few hundred people who are likely to see the stream, are somehow going to have a different opinion of what happened, let alone get a grip on what actually happened almost a MONTH ago, Sept 18th.

I'm going to have to write a blog now, aren't I?

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care?

It is the age of men, and the elves care, but they only show it with a veneer of arrogance and haughty speeches about the follies of man.

This is what I've suspected for a while.
Although there are bound to be some genuine backers who:

● Can't grasp that what's being promised by CIG is simply impossible.

● Fail to see the marketing methods and endless ship sales as exploitative.

● Don't understand that CIG's complete lack of cohesive design methodology is a REALLY inefficient way to make a game (although the 'create the shiny assets before the gameplay mechanics' is a great way of bringing in that lovely lucre).

These people will defend the company come-what-may (particularly if they see others doing the same). I just can't believe that there can be that many of them.

So there must be others who know exactly how things stand, but have ulterior motives for their actions, the most likely being financial.

Well yea of course. Someone has to buy all the poo poo on the grey market.

Anyone else find it a little weird that shitizens have no problem saying the worst possible things about Derek, yet many of them commonly hold back about Goons? So many of those Reddit quotes prefer to claim Goons are goofing on Derek, and setting him up, rather than accuse us of directly attacking SC.

Some of them do, but a surprising amount seem to shy away. There's a "Derek Smart attacking SC" archival subreddit, but no "Goons attacking SC" equivalent.

Goon fear?

Yes, pretty much. :laffo:

But what about all those anti-aging creams made from the tears of cosmic beings? Is this not evidence that the divine is eternal and beauty can last forever? Only the blasting of trumpets will signal the end of this realm, not this pessimistic notion of entropy! Change is the very essence of life, I recommend you change your mind or be rendered detritus by history!

*deep breath*

Time Cube is "T.O.E.", theory of everything.
Time, Life and Truth =aCubic Principle,
a natural creation of ineffable opposites.
Caltechprofessorspractice obscurantism
and can not ever allow Time Cube Debate -
for it will indict the word bastards as evil.
They can't argue it, their power is to ignore -
and that's why students must demand debate.
Word is most efficient form of enslavement.
You have been educated singularity stupid.
You have been educated in singularity evil.
Self singularityis cursed form of humanity.
Do you care to know that Cubic Creation
debunks the Word God and Word World of
the educated stupid human Word Animal?
Evil educators suppress
student free speech right
to debate Cubic Creation.
Evil students don't object.
Cubicism debunks evil scientificsingularity.
Cubicism debunks evil religioussingularity.
Cubicism debunks evil word god singularity.
Cubicism debunks evil academic singularity.
Planets created via opposite rotating poles.
Flag depicts opposite rotating hemispheres.
Flag depicts 2 opposite side hemispheres
Creation of life occurs between 2 opposites.
You're too stupid to know opposite creation.
1 day singularity dooms Oppositehumanity.
1 god singularity dooms Opposite Creation.
Opposite Creation dooms human singularity.
There's no human entity, only corner Cubics,
rotating life's 4 corner stage metamorphosis.
4 corner head has 1 corner face, 4 face life.
Educated fools can't comprehend Cubicism.
Life is as secure as existing on a razor edge.
Apply reverse engineering to know creation.
Humans are educated stupid Word Animals,
creating a Word God and Word World, thus
inflicting singularity as mange upon Nature.
Singularity educators are unfit to even live.
Wisdom is a Cubic measure of Knowledge.
Via Cubic Wisdom, I am the wisest human.
Mind must see Cube eyes can't comprehend.
Time Cube impose 4 corners on Earth sphere.
Earth sphere is Cubic with rounded corners.
Earth exists as2 opposite Cube hemispheres.
Humans must establish 4 corner Earth Cube.
All humans exist between2 opposite sexes.
Impossible for a human singularity to exist.
2 opposite sex Cubes equate to crap shoot.
Religion and academia preach singularity.
Human word animals are singularity stupid.
Evil singularity dooms Opposite Creation.
YOU can't handle Cubic Time, Cubic Life
or Cubic Truth - for insideof Time Cube
equates the most magnificient symmetry
of opposites existing within the universe -
for every corner has an equal opposite corner,
every 2 corners has an equal opposite 2
corners, every tri-corner has an equal
opposite tri-corner and every 4 corners has
an equal opposite 4 corners. No human or
god can utter such powerful ineffable
opposite Cubic Truth. God is singularity.
Evil singularity dooms Opposite Creation.

Give me a free key for LoD you crazy bastard.

Oh really? Didn't you say you had a key, had played it etc? Don't make me hit the search button.

Regardless, LOD isn't the game you're looking for, if you want to wash off the stench and stain from Star Citizen. No, that would be Universal Combat CE. And yeah, I would most gladly give you a key. For the low price of $9.99.

In case you missed it, this is me, playing it LIVE - for 6 hours straight, two weeks ago. No crash. No glitch. All awesome. You should try that with Star Citizen :laffo:

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Also, a plant does not have sentience but I'd argue it has an appreciation of this fourth dimension to further its survival. Seasons, night and day, presence of goku.

Without sentience, does the plant care whether it grows or retreats? It's only designed to exist the longest period in the time dimension, and even more so for its antecedents in either direction.

Your experience of the flow of time is privileged.

Don't entropy shame.

I guess awesome is in the eye of the developer (who messed up something as basic as the ESC menu).

Also, youse guys really need to look at entropy. Abstraction of time as a construct is fine, but chemical processes tend to run in a single direction, and thus far there's been no obvious reversal of entropy. Or some poo poo.

Once again, don't entropy shame. Your view of the flow of time is biased. There is no metric by which our observation of the flow of time is more correct than any other, chemical processes included.
