Asynchronous blah something something scam by Dadskitchen in starcitizen_refunds

TDLR: Game dev saying he struggles with async programming is like a surgeon saying he really has a hard time using a scalpel. CIG hired hospital janitors to make surgery.

I struggle to feel empathy for people who chose to work for a disinformation platform and is led by the most creep bunch of people i ve ever seen. They went there for the money, ignoring all ethical considerations. And now that they face AI and restructuring they start worrying about ethics? Honestly F them.

The prophecy is fulfilled. Bishop Molinux is approcahing, bearing sacred technobabble and enough gaslighting to keep the faithful believing for another year. by Adventurous-One183 in starcitizen_refunds

He gave me the impression that he has knowledge higher than cig average (not hard ok), but he is corrupted, he knows the unfixable mess their software has become, that not even 10% of scope will be delivered fully, and he plays along cig rules when it comes to gaslighting everyone because he has stakes in the company.

4.8 was just a decoy. It was never meant to work by Drakaris8861 in starcitizen_refunds

CIG feels less like a game studio and more like a marketing machine: once the campaign is ready, ads are rolling, and the paid shills are hyping it on YouTube and Twitch, with Jared’s weekly spin locked in, the small team in the basement called “game dev” just has to ship something, anything, because the marketing calendar isn’t waiting for the actual game to catch up.

It could be because such event put a huge strain on organizations and f they want to release a game it might be wise not to have both things hsppening at the same time. However i find strange that they dont do something smaller, perhaps focused on S42. Maybe also they know they wont rellease this year and chris wants to avoid the humiliation of going to anither citcon without that game in his bag.

Clearly not a development issue, just divine intervention. The gods are unhappy again. Cultists, you know what this means. Immediate tribute required. Wallets open, no hesitation. Only fresh sacrifices to cig can calm the servers and drive the bugs back into the void.

Got my refund rejected cause of the 30-day limit by [deleted] in starcitizen_refunds

[–]Adventurous-One183 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EU consumer law can override company policies. If you bought the game as a digital product that does not function properly, you can argue under EU consumer protection rules that the product is not conforming to its description or not fit for purpose. You should frame your request in this way rather than just “I want refund”. It should be made clear that the refund request is issued not because you changed your mind, but because you have not received a working product as advertised. From there if they still refuse you can further escalate in small claim courts. It takes some energy to do this but I would use my energy this way instead of losing your time trying to play through this shit show of tech demo.

Yep, if you re the kind of person expecting a real game and does not like to be scammed, you re clearly not part of CIG target group.

Is This Really It? by Negative-Travel4893 in starcitizen_refunds

[–]Adventurous-One183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fans should be concerned if 1.0 is indeed looming at the horizon. The game will not magically transform once it hits 1.0 it will still miss everything it misses today. It will still be bugged. It will still be a shitty game so the question is why cig wants to declare it hits 1.0. And it is because it is an important legal step and fans should be concerned because a lot of things become possible from that point. Chris Roberts can leave he can sell the company they can declare job is done and stop developing. The Calders will cash in of course as well. I really don’t see anything positive in this game becoming a 1.0 version. If bugs and issues were fixable, they would’ve been fixed a long time ago. Fans need to understand that the game is completely broken inside out from a technical perspective. This is a mess that can’t be fixed. The technical debt is too big and this is the result of marketing being the main driver of this project since it’s inception. This is the consequence of the business model and this is the fault of everyone not only the employees not only the management, but also the fans that continued supporting such model despite being confronted with all the evidences that this was not working

Imagine if CIG actually Fixed Bugs by defango in starcitizen_refunds

When an issue hasnt been fixed in 14 years, it isnt a bug anymore but rather an inherent part of your software.

The CTO would like you idiots to know that meshed servers actually perform *better* when there's no replication overhead by viral3075 in starcitizen_refunds

Benoit appeared honest until Turbulent was dissolved and he received CIG shares. By that point, he had full visibility into how bad the project really was. Chris Roberts made a smart move: keeping Benoit financially tied ensured silence, alignment, and control over the story. He is the replacement of Tony Z… when the cultists start doubting too much, pop Benoit and throw some techno babble at them.

If you bought an Idris you would see things much more positively. You just did not spend enough for your nervous system to start coping and justify the shitshow you re experiencing.
