You know, Chris can actually be seen as the good guy here, if you think about it. This whole time he's been talking about saving PC gaming. Look closely at the people who back Star Citizen. The remaining backers are, nearly to a man, the most disgusting members of the human race. The very people who have been a blight on PC gaming for years now. Chris has collected them all in one place, and every single last one of them, despite trumpeting their independence, their disposable income, and how they're all "grown men who can make their own decisions", every loving goddamned last one of them not only ate poo poo when Chris Roberts told them to, but looked at him with fresh poo poo still around and in their mouths, and asked him "would you like me to eat more?" Chris does not have them by the short and curlies either. They're not in thrall to anything, or owe Chris a favor. They're just obedient little soldiers all lining up with a smile to get knocked down over and over and over again by CIG. Chris is stealing every dollar these people have, and frankly, they deserve it. They deserve to be robbed and broken, they deserve their marriages to end, they deserve to lose their friends and families to this cult. They deserve everything they're getting. As the cherry on top, Chris is trying to build an online quarantine so normal people never have to hear or play with these people ever again. That's what I call saving PC gaming. Sort of a self-selecting gamer eugenics program, and I'll be damned if it's not working perfectly.

It's weird to be posting with people years in the past. We were mocking them two years ago for how much of a scam it was to not honor their own gift cards or store credit specifically to target new money. It's only just now that this is an issue? I mean I applaud any backer that starts to ask questions about the grand illusion but you would think if this was this guys personal line he would have figured it out a long time ago. Seriously, did I have a stroke? We've been making fun of this obvious cash grab tactic forever. Why is it only now that people are going "Ohhhhhhhhhhh" VictorianQueerLit fucked around with this message at 01:49 on May 5, 2018 |

Kazan and his three girlfriends (who only stay at boutique hotels) are going to have to spend quite a bit. MoMA would too, but he's Toast. ManofManyAliases posted:I didn't buy tickets to the Backer's Dinner. Besides, I'm attending a function for work tonight anyway - couldn't get out of it. Since you're going to the backer's dinner for work then obviously you didn't need to buy the tickets.

GameStop should follow CIG's example. Give a kid a $60 gift card, he walks into the store and grabs a $60 game, and the cashier says "Sorry kid, fresh cash only. You still owe another $10."

Promise simple spaceship pew pew game. Take all the money, fail to make simple game. Promise complex spaceship pew pew game. Take all the money, fail to make complex game. Promise FPS action and boarding and piracy and bounty hunting in your complex spaceship pew pew game. Take all the money, fail in every possible way to expand your nonfunctioning game. Promise planetary landings and hand-crafted procedural generation and Skryim craters and derelict ships and mooooons. Take all the money, fail harder than ever in every other way. Promise evolving living AI and a full universe filled with every imaginable possible confluence of events all driven dynamically in an infinite mesh of cloud servers. Take all the money, don't even try to make the game at this point. Change of plan: no more promises, just take all the money. Backers applaud CIG.

I like Dronez. He’s on the SpaceBro Show and seems of the same cloth as Mitauchi — former hardcore Eve player with a pretty phlegmatic temperament. They’re whales but the benign sort, their big weakness being their endless capacity to discount the seriousness of Chris’s transgressions simply because they, like Jake, subscribe to the “yeah Chris has lied a lot but if we get a good game in the end it’ll be worth it” worldview. Hopefully Dronez will give the full skinny on SpaceBto. Here’s the real-time reel: https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992528283504787457 https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992532318576295936 https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992541877457973248 https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992542812238303232 https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992554297052151809 And a react tweet: https://twitter.com/DrDronezChannel/status/992530978479398912 Thank you for volunteering your past service, but the price for an LA Studio Tour is $350.

Beet Wagon posted:They're now openly comparing CIG to the "Evil Publishers" on reddit. I honestly never thought I'd see the day. I'm sticking to my guns regarding my opinion that they'll all be slurping down spaceships again by Monday, but I'll be damned if that's not some "End Times" poo poo right there. You're right that many whales will go back to the CIG teat but every concept sale sees a few whales nail their wallets shut indefinitely. CIG's food source of whale meat is steadily going extinct.

I still can't get over people just now realizing that the new money sales tactics are predatory. Years ago, five minutes after they announced warbonds, we were on top of how lovely the new money stuff was. What's next? Backers just now realize after six years that CIG will refuse to refund someone for sending out a gift because they no longer own it while also refusing to refund items that have been gifted because the owner didn't originally purchase it, creating a loop hole where CIG can just keep a shitload of money even after they agree to refund their customers? Maybe it's predatory that the only way to get that money is to have lengthy arguments, over a period of weeks, while they lie directly to you that you are not entitled to that money until you threaten them in exactly the right way to make them finally give in and refund the items you legally own. I mean imagine Best Buy refusing to take an item back with a 100% legal receipt because the person returning it wasn't present at the time of the sale. Then if you don't just give them the item for free they make you fight them for weeks. All of this on top of refusing to take their own giftcards or store credit.

G0RF posted:I don’t use Twitter so I don’t normally read tweets. But there have been some good ones: It's interesting in a way because the last concept sale was the same, LTI with new money only, and now they do it again. This basically shows the backers that CIG has gotten the shits with melting and is getting a bit desperate for fresh cash by dangling the LTI carrot. The fact that backers all remember CRoberts going on record saying that LTI doesn't matter anymore has got them confused and worried that now it will, this has resulted in some of the more vocal backers finally saying that the 'game' is P2W.

It must be confusing to Crobberts. The backers have no idea what LTI really is, but they want it, badly. It's kind of telling that they thought "if it was only offered to cash purchasers, it must be really really good." Some part of their brain is catching on.

Right now, on a loving f2p phone game I play, someone just spent 2,000 bucks on a waifu. CRoberts wishes he had that market segment. Pusher-chan could bring a lot of extra income.
