Yeah, this one died during E3. The reasons they gave – assuming true – are pretty interesting. Polygon and a few other sites wrote about it yesterday.
When Sandi posted this on FB, she had NO idea that the crew were watching the E3 reveal of COD:IW. I kid you not!
So today, Kotaku wrote this article: Star Citizen Changes Terms of Service to Make it More Difficult to Get a Refund
“The article completely ignores the more serious issue: that being the one related to, you know the REMOVAL of two key (refunds, financial accountability) provisions which backers previously had.
This issue is not just about the ability to get refunds going forward. It’s a LOT worse than that.
This is why most of the gaming media get under fire a lot and gamers have completely lost trust in most of them. These people were part of the massive hype train, writing puff pieces etc. Yet, once the wheels started to come off, gamers being fleeced like sheep, they’re all strangely silent.
Even with something as serious as a MATERIAL CHANGE in a ToS that was used to build and fuel said hype train, it’s pretty much like “yeah, whatever”.
I feel the key issue here is that nobody wants to be the first to admit that I was **right** this whole time. I mean, at the end of the day, it all boils down to “Smart v Roberts“. And most people simply can’t reconcile that.That’s on them. Just wait when the inevitable collapse comes.“
This is an article by PC Powerplay The Star Citizen honeymoon is over Opinion: Derek Smart is probably right.
“So, I’m probably right. But let’s carry on and ramble about how this is about (hint: you’re a fool, it’s not) Line Of Defense“
Not to mention the fact that the author has $1800 in the project. Star Citizen and the fleet of folly
Over the weekend, Scott Manley tried to capture a movie. Well, the results were disastrous to say the least. He expressed his discontent. Well, the result on Reddit is that, as expected, Shitizens when on the war path.
“My threads on SA are actively hostile because I think CIG is fucked and over there I don’t have to hide my feelings about it. I’ve spent YEARS trying to make things better, to tell them how they’re acting like assholes and fucking up left and right. What did I get for it? Ben patronizing me and telling me he’s “bored” of me “trolling” him, even when the conversation is between him and me. Or Chris wasting millions of dollars and weeks of time directing A-list actors like it’s 1999 and people still give a shit that Gary Oldman is playing some old white guy suffering from laryngitis. Or the fucking abortion that was the Cutlass, an “agile dogfighter” that turned into a fat, lumbering piece of shit. Or a community full of self-entitled idiots who make Scientology seem like free thinkers. Or Sandi actively abusing her employees and Chris responding to the article by putting Derek Smart on a giant pedestal and validating EVERYTHING he’s doing. Or getting banned for trying to verify that Smart wasn’t full of shit, being told that’s WHY I was banned (and subsequently verifying that he was RIGHT), and then watching CIG lie about it to the press because they’re managed by a bunch of incompetent fuck-ups.
You know what I didn’t get? A fucking game.
Over here I watch my words carefully because folks are at least receptive to criticism (a far cry from a few months ago) but only to a point. Well you asked so fuck it, that’s how I really feel. Watch this post get down voted for trolling or whatever, I don’t give a shit. At this point I’m convinced that the only way this community is going to get anything closed to what they were promised (and paid for) is if Chris Roberts is fired, his wife is kicked out with him, and people who actually know what the fuck they are doing take over and deliver a product.“
It’s a pure cash grab now. I’m quite certain that he thought he was building a game at one point. But now that it’s all too obvious that’s not going to happen – and that this once in a life time chance is gone and never coming back – getting as much cash before the exit makes a lot of sense.
It’s an absolute tragedy.
So CIG/RSI put together yet another ship preview. Again the Caterpillar. And some of the Shitizens are acting as if this all of a sudden means there is progress. This despite the fact that they’ve shown this crap before – months earlier. All this aside from the fact that ships like the Starfarer which they hurriedly stuck in the game, remains a broken mess.
Remember all those movies (Star Marine anyone? Oh, how about how the Cutlass turned out?) of various parts of the game over the years, and why are nowhere in the game, have been scaled back etc. Well, this Caterpillar is another shining example of the on-going MVP and a key component of the new ToS where they – again – assert that anything can change, and they promise nothing.
Well, let’s take a look at the Caterpillar “progression” shall we? Courtesy of Stolen Goon Valor 🙂

In today’s Star Citizen ReverseTheVerse, Ben Lesnick said he was excited to see the natural evolution of Wing Commander at E3. Called COD:IW. I kid you not. Here, listen for yourself. I don’t even know what to say at this point. Seriously.
