Etc, etc, somehow he (Jon93) just became a really prolific poster.

Also as highlighted earlier, the non-refund policy until development ceases just prevents people from jumping the boat if the project begins to go under. If people were allowed to do this then they wouldn't be able to refund everyone fairly and some would end up getting full refund while others get nothing. It's the best outcome for everyone in the unlikely scenario that the project fails.

You should consider doing SC streaming, I'd bet you'd be the #1 streamer after one week.

Step 1: Find Tweet from Mrs. Roberts.

https://twitter.com/SandiGardiner/status/741376034495307776

Step 2: Take image from Tweet.



Step 3: Run image through image editor detection website.

Obtain result "Probably edited. Pixels only match software editors."

Is there a way to tell if that image is a photoshop?

I always like the fidelity argument, because it's a sci-fi game set 900 years in the future. What exactly are the spaceships or anything else fidelitous to?

pagesnipe, so you get some more pictures of my dog. Guess which end is the front and the back.

While he's done a really good job of sticking to the requisite talking points, it's definitely missing a certain je ne sais quoi. There's just no verve to it; no flair.

It's like when a ship is sinking and everybody rushes to the lifeboats. Now, since there is not enough space in those (because Chris and Sandi sold a few to buy a mean espresso machine) it wouldn't be fair for some people to get in and some not so, instead, everybody gets a piece of the lifeboat. Well, not everybody, Chris and Sandi get a Yatch.

Ok so you cite CRs letter to The Escapist, the Zendesk tagging, the plagiarism and the new TOS as reasons you're getting out and assert that Derek did none of those things.

Here is the first line of the escapist letter:

I have, to date, attempted to stay above the internet drama currently surrounding Derek Smart and his claims about Star Citizen.

The ZenDesk tagging was discovered by someone on the /r/starcitizen_trades Reddit. If this thread hadn't picked it up, run with it, screenshotted it and ran it into the ground with Dereks assistance it would never have left that comment thread. We were watching the ZenDesk site get updated live with our feedback in this thread.

The plagiarism is the same. Some of it was noticed two years ago on the RSI forums and nothing happened. As soon as Derek and the filthy Goons () got hold of it it became an issue and the art was pulled in hours.

The new TOS is a direct reaction to Derek shouting from the rooftops about the clauses in the old TOS requiring them to give refunds and financial accountability.

"Derek did none of those things. That was all CIG."

Fair enough you've come to your senses and are now trying to get a refund, it might be too late - but it is loving lovely to not give Derek his due here. If it wasn't for him you wouldn't even be considering a refund and may have poured more money in.

No, no, what that guy is arguing is that everybody gets to stay on the sinking ship.
Except Chis and Sandi, who get a Yacht.

“It’s not my forte, of course,” Lesnick honestly wishing not to offend the man, but really, “but there’s a feeling that fidelity may have been taken as far as it will go. That for the video game industry to carry on at all, it must look for a less narrow, a less… sterile set of assumptions. The next great breakthrough may come when we have the courage to junk fidelity entirely, and strike off at some other angle”

“No–not ‘strike off.’ Regress. You’re 40 years old, man. There are no ‘other angles.’ There is only forward—into it—or backward.”

Chris Roberts has turned now, and… oh, God. He is smiling. There is something so ancient in its assumption of brotherhood that—not now, but a few months from now, with spring prevailing and the Refunds beginning the churn—Lesnick will remember the smile—it will haunt him—as the most evil look he has ever had from a human face.

They’ve paused in their walking. Ben stares back at the man. The Anti-developer. “Ideas of the opposite” themselves, but on what cortex, what winter hemisphere? What ruinous Commando, clipping outward in the Waste… outward from spinning wreckage… reachable only to those who journey to the Italian coastline… eyes in the distance… whales… grief…

This is where I am at now.
The game is worse than ever, but much more than that it is shittier than ever.
In the old days it was just janky and crap and that was that, but now, well the more they add the more I realise it's just a poo poo game. They have put a shop in with guns and it's honestly like something from 2002. It's poo poo, not janky, just poo poo. It's dull, bland, crap and poo poo.
This makes all the words they waffle on more and more hollow as time goes by.
It makes even the guys in Berlin sound like loving idiots and bullshitters - the evidence of progress in the game right now is absolutely zero. the whole thing is a crock of poo poo.
I tell you what they are really doing here, and it's loving blatantly obvious with this update - they are adding doodads.
There are now flags and poo poo on walls, some railings have appeared and lockers, some more loving tables and bullshit like that. it's just so transparent what is going on now.
The rest of the game is worse, everything flickers, everything jitters around now. It's not even really funny at this point, it's loving insulting.
