The guy has a point in not liking Star Citizen, but oh god he's annoying to listen to.

On another note I just bought my first basic carrier pilot, 2 months to capswarm ready then I'm one step closer to never logging in.

That's not true -- some of that life is also spent assaulting vending machines.

History in that someone managed to suck their own dick righ-- oh, never mind. It's been covered:

Eye of Widesauron posted:

If you sucked your own dick any more you'd turn inside out.

His "history making" article is an uncountable number of references to his own awful, zero fun, buggy games, coupled with the brilliant observation that "if a game developer is spending at a rate which will cause them to run out of money, the game is in trouble".

While there may still be people who believe that Star Citizen is going to fulfill all the promises made about it, there is no point talking to them. Those people have bought into the game in the same way others buy into a religion or political party, such that a well argued, entirely precise argument with impeccably researched facts will merely cause them to become defensive and dismissive of the source (such that they will never grapple with reality).

I have no idea what the gently caress that is about and I don't care enough to investigate. I am however interested enough that I'd appreciate an executive summary of what all that :spergin: is over.

Derek Smart is a lovely goon that makes lovely computer games and he wants to take down Chris Roberts for being an irl pyramid schemer.
