An excellent illustration of how people who whine about "SJWs" tend to be absolute idiots. Why yes, suggesting you disavow an utter scumbag is clearly the real problem here.

OK now you're being silly. I have NO problems with VD. We all have opinions about things. Most may not be popular. But how we express them is key. I find keeping an open mind means that, regardless of popular opinion, one can remain objective in any discourse.

Anyway, go register

Hahaha are you loving serious. "Keep an open mind?" The man's a literal neo-nazi. He thinks black people, jews, and woman are literally lesser humans. THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT HE BELIEVES. Are you going to keep an "open mind" about that? Why the gently caress would you ever want to talk to this guy about anything, even if it's just SC?

While Vox Day are loving gobshites I see no problem with Derek talking to them about SC. Obvioulsy the Shitizens are once again going to claim this makes him a GGer but I refuse to belive that he shares any of their beliefs beyond SC being bullshit and that there are huge problems within games journalism and the games industry as a whole.

He's probably telling you that's what he want to talk about, but the actual interview is probably going to be a thinly-veiled attack on Sandi ruining the project by being a woman, or on you for being a black person. You know, he'll probably make it about how bad SC has to be for "one of your kind" to notice it, something like that. If you come in letting him lead the conversation it'll go to hell fast either way.

Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't sound like it could be a racketeering case; I just am doubtful that RICO charges will happen.

But about 38Studios -- it's pretty complex. There is a fraud case, though it's not aimed at Schilling himself. There was a lawsuit (settled in 2014) that alleged a conspiracy to defraud the state into issuing the bonds which were supposed to finance Project Copernicus. I believe there's another lawsuit going on now alleging further fraud. More documents were supposed to be unsealed, but if they have been, they've sort of slipped under the surface without making a splash.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=11146240

Gordon Fox, our former House Speaker in the state legislature, also worked on securing state-funded financing for 38Studios. He received a great deal of criticism for some odd decisions surrounding that business. To really cast shade on his dealings, he recently pled guilty to wire fraud, bribery, and filing a false tax return; he's getting 3 years in the federal pen.

Yes, that's precisely what I've been trying to get at, that if the Feds get involved, it's going to get way beyond them just pissing away $94m+ and rather into where it went and whether or not it was spent for the purpose for which it was intended.

I would say...interesting is moreso the word, rather than funnier.

I mean, it's funny and insane right now, but after there's like a dozen or so of neo-nazi internet posse, to whom DS spoke to as they just happened to be part of Gamergate, and they internet warrior alongside Derek Smart with their insane opinions for a few months, I'm pretty sure it won't be all that funny then.
