German outlet Gamestar has released a video titled "what really happened?" about SC. At first I was hopeful but then they handed over to a German shillizen who then spends the next 40 minutes detailing the history of the game but skipping all the bad parts. I only skimmed over it but it is the same drivel you hear from other backers.

The sooner you buy it, since it is a one-off payment, the cheaper per month it becomes.

If you had bought a $45 game package on the day the PU was released on 23rd December 2015 you would have paid just 55 cents/month to play the game since. For every month that passes the monthly cost is less. Plus the backer rewards come every year so they mount up to in the last month we all got a free grenade launcher and potentially 3 free horror masks. One day they will be collectibles.

There's a slight difference in the number of likes between this and the latest SC tweet, especially when considering that Star Citizen has attracted "millions of Citizens". Maybe they represent the silent majority?

That commando may want to reflect on the fact that those posts on Spectrum all come from people confirmed to have paid for the game. So in a way, it's kinda more objective than YT/reddit where horrible people like me who don't own the game are technically allowed to post. Not that I'd bother, but still, I could. Not on Spectrum.

Share splits are pretty normal. That's the least shady thing CIG has done.

I doubt it is a share split, but instead sub classes of shares.

It's presumably to make it easier to pay dividends to just the minority investors. The problem with the dividend they paid out is that because it was all the same class of share, Chris himself would have received 60 odd percent or whatever. Giving people/entities each a single class A, B, C, D, etc share means you can declare dividends on those different classes of share to distribute dividends differently to the overall share holdings. Eg: They can pay Calders back their investment of ~£30mil without having to also pay Chris dividends of like ~£180m along the way. This is where you need to see shareholder agreements and such that won't be filed.

This post could've fallen out of reddit stonks meltdown subs talking about GME holders getting dividend shares (CRIME!), AMC holders getting APE shares, and BBY spinning off the infant\toddler subdivision.

Now it's been a while since I was in graduate business school, and I'm just assuming UK bankruptcy law is similar to the US', but I can't help but wonder if they're setting up some new preferred stock for certain people to shift their ownership to, such that they get paid out before any common bagstockholders in bankruptcy proceedings.

Of course, I'd be pretty surprised if any shareholders got much of anything if CIG went bankrupt, it would have to go to the creditors first, but one can't help but wonder. Maybe their crowdfunding cashflow lets their operation run with relatively low amounts of debt.

"nobody should be forced to play a patch that is this uninspiring for this long"

"having to do a podcast about a game that is uh..."
