    Yeah as some others have mentioned that is the textbook way to defuse a problem; by admitting it and throwing yourself at the mercy of the court
    I have done it always and it disarms people because you just put the truth out there so they see you are at least upfront with your fuckups
    Fargo didn't because honestly he is more of a "nothing to report" businessman and even though I admire and respect him a lot it does comes across as a bit deuchy
    In all honestly this project has been one fuckup after another so I think that giving more explinations would only cause more headaches so they conveniently forgot to address that and just eanted to get the fucking game out...maybe it will be good enough and all will be forgiven and maybe not

    I'm so tired of hearing this shit.

    [​IMG]

    These two were a leap of faith.

    And, to the extent they were not disingenuous about that, received backing proportionate to their experience and overall prospect of success.

    [​IMG]

    Thiis tall glass of Newport Beach lifestyle, of the Fargo fucking family line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo, with his name-dropping and big dick swagger, was not a leap of faith.

    He was supposed to know what the fuck he was doing. And, to the extent he claimed that, received backing proportionate to his supposed experience and imagined prospect of success.

    To regurgitate this talking point, that the former (i.e. the average kickstarter) is somehow comparable to the latter (let's call him a rich beggar), such that the intentional cutting of PROMISED FEATURES IN RELIANCE ON WHICH PEOPLE PAID MONEY can be just blithely ignored (notwithstanding you have zero independent proof that the cuts were made for a reason other than incompetence; notwithstanding they were essentially forced to admit it) is to answer your own implicit question:

    Because you let them, fam.

    Every single time you, a paying customer, given them the benefit of the unearned doubt.

    Every time you bend over backwards to make the truly laughable assumption that these cuts concerned what "fit" their artistic vision.

    Especially after the Techland shenanigans.

    I mean, how do you think the DECLINE arrived in the first place?

    Because consumers, people like us, let companies, take inches, which, when added up, amounted to the entire argument and any ground on which we might have stood to oppose this shit. And so standards lowered, because standards are costly. Quality is not cost-efficient when dealing with an uninformed consumer base. A self-indoctrinated consumer base, like all those dumb cunts over at NeoGaf

    The only way your platititudinous statement holds any water is if we were all to assume from the beginning that InXile was lying and/or incompetent.

    And I played Choplifter HD. And it was great.

    So... Is Inxile going to blacklist Codex forever? I still don't have that clear...

    On a serious note all this bs is the breaking point for me. From cautious optimism day one purchase to hold, watch and wait.

    You know what Roguey you are damn right I had forgotten all about the extra money they asked for for extra content for the depths or the alien vagina place on their pitch... they did pitch for more content on these areas

    Someone needs to call up Herve to buy out InXile and save the games and jobs.

    Brian 'mismanagement' Fargo has done it again. But don't worry, he'll still be able to fund his trophy wife lifestyle thanks to millions retards donate to him

    I take it they're talking about Beamdog's shitfest? For all its many, many, many, many, many faults, Dragon Age: Inquisition actually handled its trans character very well. The little soapbox in Siege of Dragonspear on the other hand can hardly even be called a character, let alone a well-rounded, believable one. How's that for a nuanced opinion, you hypocritical pearl-clutchers apparently avidly reading this forum in secret? Besides, while we all know that here be human scum, there's more than enough else to hate about that interquel that throwing all "haters" into the same pot is either delusional or deceitful - or both - on a level that might even make the orange matryoshka doll blush.

    This shows the absurd importance these fanatics give to these things. You have a fucking treatise about game writing in the news page, hundreds of threads about all kinds of games, a fucking book about cRPGs, and then come this miserable myopic idiot to say that the Codex is not good enough because trans subject. I don’t understand these people. If they give so much importance about political agenda, why they are wasting their time with games? Snowflake reactions tells more about the political correctness gag that is being used outside than about the Codex. Every insignificant detail is perceived as the end of the whole world. Fuck these people.

    Because a child's mentality has been hammered into them.

    http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=229318981&postcount=285

    "bad stuff", "no-no words", "icky", "alt-right", "problematic", "not-pc"

    Codespeak for "thoughts I'm not supposed to think, right or wrong"

    It's like everything George Carlin believed had and would continue to occur.

    They are called progressives because their brain cancer has progressed to the point where their cognitive abilities have declined to the level of an infant.

    You know, perhaps this is the way to go, I might just cancel the refund request and do exactly as you. At least I had fun worth of $100 in the Gamescom thread.

    People are saying 'TToN will be shit because of InXile's shitty customer relations'. That is the wrong way of looking at it; Torment could be a 10/10 game, but I will not buy it due to InXile's lack of transparency and lies, not due to any perceived lack of quality. Real boycotts involve actually giving up on something for ethical reasons, not just convincing yourself that that it is crap. For all the Codex's crowing about its superiority, they are acting like weak-willed imbeciles.

    :lol:

    Second post is a pretty good description of pedogafers actually. Probably people who have zero education and never had a real job and never had a conversation for more than 2 minutes in real life before everyone else backed away slowly.

    First one is just the typical developer cocksucking. Most games are shit today and almost all the developers. You can suck developer cock all you want but it won't change reality, it won't budge reality even one micron. And this is what the truly mentally ill retard does not understand - your internet views just don't fucking matter. Which is also why it's so pathetic how many people try to shut down things they don't agree with, complain about posts people are making (even on other sites!), and try so desperately to suck the cock of developers who have barely noticed they even exist - if they ever will notice at all.

    NeoGAF would say almost exactly the same thing about the Codex. Have some perspective.

    inXile is pretty much giving the finger to people who actually gave them some money. Just imagine how little they think of some average neofaggot who does nothing but verbally suck their cock on the internet.

    I would guess after following these things that stretch goals at least double the intake of a kickstarter. Without them, or with shitty ones, there would be basically zero kickstarters that make their goal.

    So yes I am sure that is a big incentive.

    And basically I don't think you can legally cut them without making it into fraud territory.

    I mean they don't have to be great or anything but HOLY FUCK. If they are really cutting them completely that says to me this game is just a complete and utter disaster and basically still needs a huge amount of reworking and content and coding EVEN NOW.

    So regardless, the game is fucked. Consolized SJW shit, that is pure vapourware.

    That was probably just the sites spreading the news "look MCA is aboard" and then the reader discover the game and then may back it, although the immense majority don't know who MCA really is.

    Well, that Tyranny female companions thread was fucking idiotic.

    Also I bet at least 50% of the people in that thread post or at least browse the codex, kek.
