I think she mispoke. The office is rumored to be in LA. I think when she refers to the “Santa Monica office”, she’s just using that to describe the studio/office itself, not the location.
Yes, it’s pure madness. The sad reality is that there are others like him who don’t know any better. It’s really easy to get caught up in this.
Here is the thing, how much value do most of us get out of buying and playing a $60 game? I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe that I’ve ever extracted $30K worth of value from any game.
Also, how often is he going to be playing this game? Those ships don’t even have their functionality in place yet. And when it is in place, then what? He’s going to have various ships, sitting in a hangar and useless to him.
Finally, it could be that this is just an investment. Pretty much like the Grey market. He probably hopes that one day Chris pulls this off and he is then able to at least get his money back and/or turn a profit. Which is where the gamble comes in. If the game doesn’t come out as expected, he’s screwed. If the game ships in a subpar form and which makes those ships largely useless, he’s screwed.
The new office is in LA, not Santa Monica. They are moving from Santa Monica to LA. And those left at in the Austin office are moving to the new LA location as well.
That’s the thing. This is Ortwin’s company that has nothing to do with Star Citizen. They have a CIG company in Germany for that.
Joao: Thanks for your concern, but I have high paid attorneys who found nothing wrong with the topic of the blog content. As such, I stand by it.
In your response post, you point out that you weren’t accusing them of money laundering. So why are you trying to associate them with that?
The fact is that, they were connected to Gizmondo (which was a money laundering scheme) because, for years, they worked there and at executive levels. That’s a statement of fact. How someone else chooses to interpret that, is up to them.
Whether they knew about or were part of the money laundering scheme, is neither my concern, nor is it something that I am willing to accuse them of without actual evidence. All I did was the research, then made the connection. It was so shocking to me, that for almost three weeks after I wrote the blog, I simply couldn’t publish it because I had to check, then double check, everything before publishing it.
It is what it is.
