They don't care what he was talking about, as Hav pointed out above Derek is known for threatening lawsuits for every imagined slight against him, he has been doing it since 56k was fast loving internet. Whatever his pledge was was worth less to them than having him threaten legal bullshit all the time.

He's known for seeing internet arguments through to the bitter end and they didn't want him taking them to court over their bullshit claims and blatant lies.

Which he couldn't have done if they were genuine claims and achievable goals.

Why do you think they want photo id? So it doesn't happen again. They'd be better off making them take an iq test or a loving spelling test before spending money on the store, filter out anyone who might realise it's a loving load of bollocks.

Yeah, they're obviously looking for journalists and spies because they've been incredibly spooked by some of the poo poo getting out there. They're doing all the _purity_ things that you're about to see another large scale criminal enterprise get up to in an effort to cover-up something that they don't want to get broader exposure like 'Star Citizen bad' because they need that revenue stream and some positive press that they're not paying for.

_We get it_.

Doesn't mean that some of aren't hanging onto our accounts for the _actual_ fun when this does release. poo poo, I can't believe I keep having to bring up the GDPR, but they have 1.9 _million_ accounts that need to be verified before 25th May. They're collecting and using state ID. All self-inflicted wounds.

I wouldn't worry about the thing surviving the white hot fury of the wider gaming community, either, it's just not really on anyone else's radar in the same way that it is here in this dead gay comedy forum. Theranos collected billions based on good intentions, but still cratered.

The SOTA launch should be an indication of the pain to come from CiG.

Imprisoned Jews can't be compared to CiG staff or backers. Staff and backers are in the prison by choice.

Also the goal of CiG is not to liquidate their victims, but hold them with emotional blackmail and perpetually bleed them. Star Citizen is way worse than the holocaust.

The stupidest loving thing CIG ever did was give Derek his money back and eject him from the game. And then they lied about why they did it.

That tells me everything I need to know right there. It tells me how they deal with a critic who has more reach than a normal sperg on their forum.

The best anyone can come up with in all the years I've been on here is 'but your game is poo poo Derek', really? That's the best you can can come up with?

He knows the loving PROCESS at the very least. He understands the tech and its limitations. He knows how long a thing will take. That's more than I will ever know.

And when Bootcha noped his hard earned the gently caress out of the project? How many fucks did CIG give about that? Not a single one, they were glad to see the back of another critic.

And when backers first started asking for refunds? CIG asked them, 'is this because of something you read on the internet'

They have removed critics from sight of the project and they have attempted to manage the effect of that criticism on the remaining backers.

Derek isn't the only game dev who not only is critical of CIG but outright laughing at them. That network nonsense that Erin spewed? They haven't got a loving clue, not a clue, not even step 1, not even networking 101.

If anyone wants to sit and write a rebuttal to any one of Derek's criticisms I will sit and read it, learn what I need in order to comprehend it and respond.

I'll tell you right now it won't happen, just cheap digs and blatant twitter insults are the best anyone's come up with in 3 years.

Derek's criticisms of Star Citizen stand unrebutted and not only that but CIG have produced nothing proving him wrong.

The July blog remains as unchallenged non-rebutted truth as far as I can see and the unending, dull, lazy swipes at his game don't do a loving thing to change that.

So there's the challenge, show me where he's wrong because that'll be a drat sight more interesting to read.

Finished? I'd like my belt back from that beltdown.

It's like the terrible spelling and grammar in a Nigerian princes e-mail anyone with internet access could sort that out in a hurry. There's no need for them to look so blatantly obvious other than filtering out people who are clever enough to recognize an obvious scam.

CIG are exactly the same they only want people dumb enough not to notice the constantly shifting narrative.

Derek was a threat.

Derek gave people monkey butt avatars. Someone gave him an avatar that was more to the tune of "you're an actual monkey" which is really loving offensive when you know the person in question is black.

It does not surprise me in the slightest that this flies over your head.

There was nothign racist about the avatar that was given to him. It does not surprise me in the slightest that you found it so, with your delicate sensibilities and all.

Reminder that he claims Lowtax banned the user that gave it to him. Yet no one was banned. A guy who goes on podcasts with a white nationalist, links to Breibart pieces and tosses around an Auschwitz joke like no big deal to further his lovely agenda should also have thicker skin.

You know Erris, the fear of litigation from Derek as the reason for refunding him does make sense as I'm thinking about it.

So thanks to everyone for responding. That's what's called a DIALOGUE btw, that's how it's loving done so congratulations nice job gg.

It makes sense because CIG did it again with Crytek.

I posted at length about the reasons given by the Bee Gee looking dev in Germany for the engine change not making any sense. It was a question of support, remember? Of course you do.

Crytek only support the engine as documented, and only cover training for the first period. Brian Chambers said the support from Crytek was, and I quote, "essentially zero".

Amazon offer the same level of support. As documented. Not for spaceships. Or MMOs. Or pole vaulting.

So the real reason is they cut off business ties with Crytek the same way they cut off a business relationship with Derek.

Crytek was just another critic with enough ammo to sink them in court.

I can say a few good words about you in the (very exclusive) anime forum. It has plenty of spaceship stuff too!

You just say the words and it's done... but only if you prefer Rei over Asuka (we don't want no degenerates over there).
