Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

Heh, I can foresee a secondary market in ship pictures…

A backer took them to court - and lost yesterday. My latest on that and other shenanigans.

Tldr - judge enforced the arbitration clause.

So pretty much any/all refund chances are over now.

My latest. Specifically on the refunds and where we go from here

Looks like all the usual suspects have started to pick this up now

A thread on why backers stand near-zero chance of ever getting a refund - of any kind

@ 09:00 Medical JPEG ship sale coming this Friday. A ship for which no game play mechanic exists. More scope creep and technical debt.

BOOM! CIG rep who spoke with Kotaku, confirmed ANOTHER point I made in my thread regarding TOS arbitration date implications

“His pledges with new money on top of his earlier pledges required him to accept the new Terms of Service.”

This one is really good.

Derek, did we lose any of your posts due to the migration?

He had a 15k word post about how he was wrong and the game is good now that pre-alpha tier 0 version 3.2 is out.

I assume he’s retyping it up now.

Although he’s probably too busy playing to type!

If you’re talking about the migration from the legacy Usenet era forum to this monstrosity we’re currently using, then yeah - I think so. But that’s a good thing if you ask me, because there were some pretty damning evidence of that Usenet warlord who never saw a hill he didn’t want to die on. He re-spawned a lot. :)

EDIT: Wait! No! I just read up that they migrated to a new server. So yeah, the legacy posts prior to this forum remain lost. But I haven’t noticed that any of my posts in this new forum missing. I will keep looking because I memorize all my posts, and can easily spot when something is missing or censored.

LOL!! Yeah, so true. I got interrupted by the latest “Derek Smart Was Right” shit-storm regarding the failed backer lawsuit.

For those of you who still read PC Gamer

Yeah, it’s going to be that kinda week for Star Citizen

Well, now we know what he is going to post on April 1.

My article about the latest Star Citizen lawsuit, and it’s implications, is now live.

I also did a video narrative discussing the finer points about why anyone who put money into Star Citizen is never getting their money back, let alone a game - of any kind.
