Ghostlight posted:

No, EvilMerlin is right. There's nothing anyone can say to convince either side that they are wrong.

The whole thing is at the point where all the talking is immaterial. Goons think Citizens are deranged idiot dreamers, and Citizens think goons are some kind of 9/11-level conspiracy auteurs. It's the actions that will sway either side.

The only thing that will convince goons that they are wrong is CIG starting to produce real concrete progress toward exiting their multiple-year alpha rather than simply saying they are getting there inch by inch while simultaneously pushing back the inch deliverables.

The only thing that will convince Citizens that they are wrong is the slow recognition of this pattern of CIG's failure to improve and fix what's already in the game, failure to deliver on existing promises, while continuing to make new promises about the next patch.

Our newest cat (Thorin, he was a rescue so we didn't change his name) is fine with the other cat, and the dogs and horses.
The other cat (Cook), isn't a fan of Thorin, the younger dog whom just wants to play with him and won't go near the horses.

The two dogs are fine with everyone.

Will the government agencies that have been building cases for the last 7 months be take pity and be reasonable or will they be nasty fudsters as well
Also where is MoMa ? I hope he's ok wherever he is...

It depends on how well lawyers can argue that the corporate veil should be pierced. And a lot of that would depend on how other executives at other studios are compensated. It's usually difficult to do unless fraud can be proven and usually it's the government that does it. Once the government proves its case it's easier to go after whatever is left in terms of personal assets via civil courts. It's why you form a LLC or Corporation. I've had businesses that have failed that I walked away from losing only whatever I had originally invested. You just have to be careful, especially in small businesses, about never giving a personal guarantee. I know plenty of people who did the same thing in 2008 when they had bought investment properties and the market crashed. Each property they owned was owned by a different LLC. Right now I have 3 different LLC's active. One for our farms, one for my software/consulting business, and another for dealing in estate sales. If one of those went tits up, I could walk away.

I repeat that anyone losing their job sucks , especially the lower tier folks who probably live check to check and have no savings

People like Chris and ortwin can go get hosed , they have known from day 1 every cent they paid themselves was basically stolen from the actual hard workers for their own enrichment

I just hope the world remembers all the lots chris has told over the years. And reminds him every single time he tries to do something other than order a sandwich at the local diner across the street from the strip club his wife is now the marketing director for

What are you saying. They are set for life. Even if CIG collapsed today they could live the rest of their life in retirement with a comfortable life style. They got millions out of this already.
