It's a side effect of how reddit works the only thing that matters is what is popular. That has spawned a lot of lovely behaviour that they've realised they need to reel in. There's always a chance of some sperg who will stick to his retarded guns but in the end they are just full of hot air so I doubt any of them would put up a fight if push comes to shove.

I don't think you realize these dancing candy tags are an investment in the most ambitious, immersive shitposting experience ever.

Lowtax can extrapolate future gang tags as well, and he has far better data than we have. Shitposting will happen no matter what. This has been clear for at least a year now. Even if something disastrous happens and the backing drops to zero, he could deliver a proper shitposting experience (that would be smaller and less sophisticated than what they are currently working on, but still far bigger and more ambitious than the initially promoted shitposts).

I don't get how people are calling what Derek posted about the guy, who lied about their credentials and posted defaming information about Derek, as "doxxing".

There's no malicious intent, which is a big part of the definition of the word.

quote:

dox

verbinformal
verb: doxx

search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.
"hackers and online vigilantes routinely dox both public and private figures"

It took less than a second to find the definition on Google. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised the SC crowd are trying to move the goal posts to suit their cognitive dissonance.

Out of curiosity, Derek, how much do you spend annually on legal fees?

I don't even know; but it's not really a lot. I have attorneys on retainer; so I don't actually get to see bills because my office handles that. It's not like I get sued or anything. In fact, the only time I've ever been sued - twice - is because in 2010 over that whole QOL/Alganon takeover. But my liability insurance covered it.

Most of my legal bills aren't even generated during the course of normal business, since I don't deal with publishers or even have deals for attorneys to review. And all my contractor contracts are boilerplate material with no special conditions.

In fact, now that I think about it, for the most part, I generally spend more on accountants/brokers/FA than I do on legal bills. Especially since, being self-employed with various investment interests here and overseas, I tend to be an IRS target more often than I'd like.

Depending on how things go with the Star Citizen crap, this may be the year that my legal costs exceed my accounting/broker/FA costs.

I hope that CIG is watching this carefully. This entire social situation with their backers.

People love to blame goons for everything, and sometimes it's true, and there's always That One Guy.

But here, there's apparently hundreds of them, all going to very extreme lengths to feel justified in their belief.

I'm sure there are people high up at CIG just smiling at what's happening.

But I hope they are aware that this could literally turn against them in an instant. Those hundreds or so of really great people will seek vindication against the master of things fall apart.

Unlike CIG, Derek hasn't even taken any of their money. Imagine this poo poo show turning around, and money being involved. It can go bad very fast.

Derek may not come out looking like a prince, but he won't be docketed as the Big Villain who literally fleeced everybody to keep for himself.

In a way, I kind of hope that CIG fizzles out like a candle in the wind before their financials come out, or they make an at least passable game. If not, all these angry people will be going after CIG people with revenge in mind.

Against Derek it's some sort of "war" of us vs them.

If this goes bad, it will be thousands of people feeling personally betrayed. That's a much dirtier kind of war to get into, since the victory condition is making *everybody* happy again.

If CIG were smart (not Smart), they would be stepping into this mess now and telling everybody they're going to far, back down, and they'll be happy to work with whoever they need to.

They're not directly creating a violent community, but they're letting it happen, and not letting people know they can fend for themselves and it's time to put the torches down. Release some silly game video or something and let the tension ease up.

If CIG fails to deliver, it will be their management that will be looking over their shoulder constantly in the future. That's always scary, and I really hope somebody with sense will step in and realize how this can go bad real fast.

To paraphrase a radio talking head, it's not the goons that hate your guts you should worry about, but the citizens that really like you.
