Just a point of order...HMP Pentonville is a womans prison![]()
Talking of which - is it even in Star Citizen yet?
OK, I'm asking you serious now, do you get briefed before spouting that PR babble bullsh*t or are you really that kind of naive?
Also Ortwins brother Gundolf is not part of CIG, so why even talk about him? He's unimportant to the case.
What are you talking about? The reason I bring it up is because CR and Ortwin are surrounded by famous and reputable people. Which wouldn't be the case if they were bad characters.
That's the thing I met these people. So anybody else is much more in a bubble. They are very nice and passionate. I saw their actions in person. Sleeping less to meet every one of your community members is a sacrifice many dev's don't do for example.
Additionally if they were bad people they wouldn't care that much for backers in the event or avoid the tough questions which many did ask. They on the other hand never doubled down on whatever was raised.

And still people play everyday and it has more interest than other games. So odd. I wonder why...

I stand corrected Jacques... Seemingly the current female prison is now HMP Holloway![]()

Yeah, but Chris also said that the Carrack would be hangar ready by the end of 2015 in 10 For The Chairman ep 51.
Then 14 months later a dev said in a 10 For the Devs they had "plans to build that soonish".
Then the following month in 10 FTC ep82 Chris said it would have a big holo table and a sophisticated Nav Map system, and all of this was being worked on and in development and would all roll out as part of the Stanton System.
So now all of a sudden it's "tied to exploration mechanics" when in 2016 it was being held back by "a bunch of UI/UX updates that have to debut first".
So painting it as a cash raising exercise for a company in financial trouble may be a mistake, guessing or just us being glass half empty kind of folk?
Hmmm...you should quote those exact people when and why they are beeing saying those type of things....Now I personally still believe that game will exist at the end in some shape&form but I doubt it will be even close to fulfill ALL CIG&CR(LIES) promises,also I am 100% sure that many people ain´t going to like what they see and thier bubble of expectations going to burst spectacularly when they realize all of that... + this whole development process was and still is a TRAINWRECK in process and as Massively OP put it best it is definitely Worst MMO Business Model for last few years and I dare to said probably EVER....Your Hero Chris his wife Sandi and few other"shameless"devs openly lying and deceiving many naive backers with their weekly propaganda shows and daily PAID BORED shill-episodes on youtube still promising things that they are certain they can´t deliver at least not in the near future and probably many of them never.....@Zyll I am in the forum that claimed that large worlds won't make it into SC. That claimed that FPS mechanics are scrapped. That physics grids won't be added. That procedural planets are a pipe dream. Also claimed that Procedural cities are impossible. All of them are in Star Citizen and even more.
Now I hear claims of Server Meshing being impossible. Guess another tick is awaiting to be checked? So tell me what else is impossible next and as the years go by we will see it happen.

To be fair to Nowak. I play the game/tech demo as well and I think it is fun, In fact I am going to log on in 5 mins, are you saying that it is not fun?
While I was hoping that the lawsuit would force CiGs hand I never specifically understood the uproar about it nor am I particularly interested in it. Somehow the theoretical outcome of the lawsuit is discussed as an "ultimate" when it comes to Star Citizen when in reality all it does is endanger SCs completion a very one-sided course of action. If the lawsuit fails we are back where we were BEFORE the lawsuit meaning no game, glacial progress and zero consumer rights from CiG. CiG doesnt really "gain" anything from winning this lawsuit. That something like it arose in the first place tho....oh I m sure that Crytek is just a bunch of haters...the instant go-to explanation of the shills and white knights who cannot accept that people are less then impressed by this mess of a "game".
Regardless of of where you reside the US income tax is based on world wide taxation for its Citizens and also for Green Card Holders, which means he must declare it as foreign income even when not permanently residing in the US.
Albeit, I don't know if there are US-UK tax treaties with exemptions to that.
No, there were multiple transactions and it was definitely a cash raising exercise, both for the company and the directors:
The 113,861 brand new shares raised £17,037,021 ($22,725,884.70) in cash for the company, Indus Management Ltd got a 10% stake, Erloch Ltd got a 0.22% stake, likely as a finders fee.
In addition to this the 3 directors sold off a quantity of their own personal stock holdings amounting to a further 1.66% in equity going Infatrade, a company that helped with the financing of Lucky Number Slevin which Ascendant Pictures (Chris' former production company) produced. This raised an additional £2,768,155 (£3,692,474.75) for the directors, not the company. If the money was intended to go to the company they would have just conjured up new shares in addition to the 113,861 they created on the same day. The directors would have received:
Ortwin: £389,187.63 ($519,141.99)
Chris: £2,184,298.74 ($2,913,661.96)
Erin: £194,668.63 ($259,670.79)
NOTE: USD amounts are based upon the mid-market rates listed on xe.com for May 23rd 2018 (1.3339118457), the date the transactions occurred.
I don't understand how anything negative can be expected from them?
<snip>Their tech debt has lessened to just Server Meshing (Which is huge 2-3 years) <snip>
surrounded by famous and reputable people. Which wouldn't be the case if they were bad characters.
