Right, because the refundians are a loose collective, and CIG is a company. You can't point at a singular post and go "there's the brigading," mostly because they get removed by mods, but hate groups brigade. But to cite a source, the Derek Smart "90 day cash flow" claim is a good place to start.

CIG has plenty of things to rightfully criticize, but this isn't one of them until multiple people from multiple sources come forward. It's sensationalist bullshit until proven otherwise.

Who said anything about CIG the company. I was referring to the size of the SC subreddit vs the refunds subreddit; specifically (420K vs ~25K). How would this brigading even work? What mostly gets removed by mods? Negative threads about SC or alleged brigaded votes? There are tons of critical threads about SC in various subreddits, so they don't get removed.

Don't see what Derek Smart has to do with star citizen as of now. His twitter is focused on crypto and "web 3.0 gaming", why is this relevant.

That being said, you can find a subreddit that was run by star citizen fans about Derek Smart. Seems like it was archived due to constant rule violations.

Do you actually have any evidence or this just something you feel is right?

More info on this issue would definitely be interesting. But to be perfectly honest, I don't believe star citizen fans are interested in any good faith discussion on this topics.

Man, moving the goalposts from CIG to the subreddit? Talk about bad faith. Nah, don't have the time and crayons for a refunder. Enjoy your hate-filled existence lol
