That was 1250. Total amount was over 4100, some of that physical goods and subscriptions, total pledged was about 3300. So yeah there's a fair amount I won't get back in the refund, I'll make some of it back in the currency exchange back to CAD (since most of my pledges were before CAD took a dive).

Most of my pledges were prior to 2015. My last big one was the Idris frigate during the 2014 livestream sale in December. At the time, I had a ton of disposable income, already had a house, a nice brand new vehicle, a few grand thrown at some jpegs? No biggie. Anyways since then I basically stopped following development, figured in a year or two I'd have a game to play, and I'd have a huge jump start on my career as a pirate, have lots of ships for my guildies coming over from SWTOR to play with. Only recently started to follow development again, and discovered it's no where near where I thought it would be at this point, and literally years away if ever. All you have to do is look at what they've accomplished, versus what is left to do. It's not happening. Came to this realization last week, and then gradually started going down the rabbit hole. I'm down deep now, spent the last few days totally immersed in all the BS uncovered by people like DS, the people on r/starcitizen_refunds, and here. Feels good to be woke to all this. Just want OUT!

you can't be responsible for your own decisions? you can't man up and see your commitment through?

Give a man a digital fishtank and he won't eat for a day (because he bought digital fish to go in it lol)

I don't know how much of this thread or the last one you've looked at but this guy is an incredibly angry and dumb backer that shows up now and then to troll people, so answering him earnestly is probably a waste of time.

He does seem extra bitter you got a refund though so good job.

It was very superficial - Amazon had like... 8 other sections about as big? Much more importantly they didn't make any presentations - which made sense, since they only appeared to have one dev. Everyone else representing CIG was a volunteer according to their uniform.
