So, seeing how this thread has some inside knowledge, is there any consensus whether this was a scam from the start, or if they only turned it into one once they realized they had tapped into an endless money fountain?


I believe the CEO actually thought this was a thing that could be done. The VP, and marketing person, was probably treating it as a way to scam money, and "fame", from nerds from the start.

He also had a secret blog where he said some vile poo poo - I can't really remember the particulars of it but it was outrageous to most of the community - and he was shuffled away from the public face of the company after it.

It wasn't secret at all. Here's the GBS thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600

Would never have found it if he hadn't tweeted it.

There are entire series of citizen photoshopping themselves doing stuff in the "verse", and all of them are pretty terrifying.

Sandi getting called out for dropping donuts on table in front of overweight coworkers trying to lose weight, subsequent appearance on program staring directly and challengingly into camera while eating tim-tams.

It wasn't just donuts. She made it a thing she did all the time on air.



The funniest thing I can remember is waaaaaay back on wingman's hanger they were talking about awards that some of the programmers had earned in the industry, the Sandi had to come on an episode later and show off some plaque she had made that said "Best marketer ever" that was engraved on particle board.

Remember when Chris's family got doxxed by his IMDB page?

(this is a joke, they weren't really doxxed. SC defenders were claiming that they were doxxed because someone linked their IMDB pages somewhere)

Sheesh yeah. A lot of the big orgs would take up donations from members (some orgs had hundreds of members, a few had thousands) to buy crazy expensive stuff for Chris and Sandi.

A few things I can remember are LOTS of expensive alcohol and having pricey food delivered. Also cigars and custom toys.
