Dusty Lens posted:$350 for a seat. Anybody paying $350 to visit CIG better get to be in one of their movies as an extra. Heck they might even be good enough to make it into the movie and not get cut like the queen actress CIG pays too dollar to.

Yeah I mean sure we need to put out something to recharge community confidence in the project so we'll send out some of their own as ambassadors to restate what we say during our office tours... But what's the point if we can't scrape a little extra cash off the top?

I wonder if any of those concierge members wondered why all their fringe benefits and special events all involve them spending more money. Why it’s almost like they’ve made it to the secret elite QVC channel where they can buy stuff first. But yet it all involves them ... buying stuff. CIG sure does know how to treat them well.

Thank you for your support! We are so grateful we’re going to give you the opportunity to buy this $200 space jpeg that will probably never actually be in any game ever! And since we love you and respect your intelligence, we’re also going to gift you this land baton you can use to own land in our game also never, for only $75!!!!! And for those of you with distinction, if you buy both AND this $700 package, we will honor you with the right to own one of our special giant mother ship base cruisers... for the pittance of $1500. We are so glad to have you with us, as a person... and a member of our literal family, that we can’t wait to see you in the verse!

Oh and if you feel that sudden, unyeilding urge that you just MUST throw money at the screen.. it's ok. I am, after all, the best marketer in the world since I was a little girl. I started young, at like 5, and one day the actual Monopoly guy came by to buy a lemonade from my stand, and he ended up selling me Boardwalk AND Park Place. I only got better too, because when I was in college by like 16, I already was designing shoes. In fact you can see all my designs at *cough ahem cough* But I am humble, so I don't want to overshadow people, because I know I am also the smartest person in the room. It almost pains me to have to suffer through needing to be in the same room as programmers, other lesser marketers, and basically everybody who is not a smart and famous actor. Because I too am an actress. Perhaps you saw me in my recent movie I was the star in? That American Satan thing? Yeah, I'm in it. Don't google it though and expand the cast list, because I think Google made a mistake and forgot to put me at the front. It's alright, I've been harassed online before so I know Google is just trying to protect my fragile emotions. So yeah *licks inside of her mouth so it looks like she's sucking a dick for a moment* look for me in movies. Oh yeah and buy that one game Space Citizen, which I am marketing 24/8. The new single player CAMPAIGN MODE also has my favorite number in it... 42. Tee hee.

Nobody in their right mind is considering it. Only delusional cultists. At one point in my life, I worked organizing special events for major donors to non-profits (usually $10K annual gifts and up). Now I know how all the game devs in the thread feel, because the level to which they are cargo-culting this concierge donor event is almost physically painful.

big nipples big life posted:probably a lot of 10minutemail accounts trying to get that stupid tshirt But it’s just an in-game Squadron shirt, right? 250000 of them? I may have heard it incorrectly during the livestream. At first I thought, “Wow— they’re going to ship out 250000 shirts if they get that many sign-ups? That’s pretty aggressive / ambitious of them.” But then I rewatched and figured they meant basically player character flair. A SQ42 shirt you could wear in game.

Speaking of Concierge-tier believers who’d be more than delighted to fork over big bucks for an audience with His Royal Highness... It’s a much-overdue new episode of Batgirl’s State of the Game! (I’ve not watched it yet but something tells me she still believes in Chris, sees the dream all starting to come together again for the 200th time in a row...)

okay seriously you true believer citizens reading this thread I was an investor, like I could have made money off of Star Citizen, if it didn't turn into what it is now owning a share in CIG is just throwing money away part of my deal was not having a say in the creative development of the game do you really think with one or even ten measly shares in CIG will entitle you to some kind of expression of your dreams if CIG offers you a share, get a refund DO NOT BUY A SHARE WITHOUT SEEING THE FINANCIALS FIRST this is investment 101 fuckers

Legal docs (not doxx), grab them while they're hot. Includes CIG's response, a motion to dismiss, and a copy of the GLA. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mPjfXrjAf9RUq3_5cJgd-hF-I5XoCQta Comedy addendum: they really did invoke the "wrong company" defense.
