Is just a more polite way to say distortion of the truth or lie if you prefer.
SC started out as one single game project and was described that way for many, many months. I already said I have no problem with them changing their minds nor do I have a problem with early adopters getting a better deal.
I have zero problems with them saying: "You know what? SQ42 has become much bigger than we originally envisioned and a separate game in its own right. We're splitting it off for any new packages bought but anyone pledging before Feb 14 will still get the original deal."
But I do have problems with revisionist BS spin that claims that this was the plan all along when it clearly wasn't.
As to more spin... You're OK with "Ten for the Chairman" and "Around the Verse" being listed as TV series in IMDB? Doesn't that strike you as a distortion of the truth about Youtube video blogs?
Does IMDB post info that the person submits themselves for their page or is it like wikipedia where it can be edited by just about anyone. I ask because I've seen this attack used a few times on these boards now and it made me curious as to how IMDB gets their page info. From the looks of it all you need is an IMDB account and you can edit whatever pages you want.
You can get make an account and pretty much edit your own credits for whatever you have done. But you can also correct other peoples credits. You can go to Chris Roberts Page and change stuff.
It gets reviewed first but you can change it.
The point is that when you list stuff like "10 for the Chairman" as TV show then everyone making videos on youtube is a Producer, Actor and Director. That is not what IMDB was intended for. Chris Roberts Page is clearly fictional on some of his credits.
You can write IMDB and report his page. Or get an account and change it.

If you don't know and don't care then why did you even post that "this was the plan all along"?
Because i did not feel any desire to engage in a dead in the water argument over semantics and what if´s. So i just gave the most honest answer i could.
Wow, they actually had the balls to retcon their own initial sales pitch. Amazing. Roberts should start writing for comics, or perhaps for Blizzard's games.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.
This is just another reason why I stopped being a sub! The big problem with the whole project is the fact that their working on so many things at once and not even close to finishing anything. They keep working on new ships when there are ships they sold from day one that are not even started on, yet they are starting on new ships. To me it is looking like a kid in a candy store with money in his hands...... so many to pick from and no idea of what he wants!
For me it's just another red flag...... just remember buyer beware!!!!
