We’re not sure what prompted the sudden refund but it could be Derek’s latest blog post which has just gone live entitled “Why RSI and all Subsidiaries Need to be investigated– right now!” Here’s the notice Derek received from Kickstarter and below another mail directly from CIG. If he’s not a backer then he can’t complain. Either CIG don’t want Smart being involved in the Kickstarter backer discussion and want to keep him locked out, or they want to make sure he’s out the loop should any investigations into the funding and development take place in the future. The reason behind this refund is unknown but there are two scenarios to consider. If you do, you have no further obligation to that specific backer, and no agreement exists between you. After your project has been funded, you can cancel and refund a backer’s pledge at any time. You can refund individual pledges if you want. This is a puzzling situation but CIG can refund pledges if they so choose as detailed in Kickstarter’s Terms of Use. Derek told PC Invasion this evening that he did not request a refund for his Star Citizen pledge and it came completely out of the blue. In an odd turn of events, Derek received a notice on his Kickstarter account informing him that CIG were processing a refund for his pledge of $250. Derek Smart of 3000AD has been highly vocal on the situation and talked us through his concerns in last week’s podcast. If you’ve been following the news this past week then you’ll know there’s been concern over the progress and funding of Star Citizen.
