Serious question for you Beer: How do you feel about being the "regular guy" buffer between the egos of Chris Roberts and Derek Smart in that article? Also, how does it feel to be famous? Are you going to turn into a massive jerk?

quote:In addition to providing The Escapist with comments, Roberts also published an open letter on the RSI website. Here, he didn’t sound like the CEO of the most successful crowdfunding project ever, with its own media division. The rhetoric was more reminiscent of something you might find on a shady subreddit. (According to him, the letter took over eight hours to write.) Beyond calling The Escapist reporter’s credibility into question, he claimed that Derek Smart had orchestrated the entire article. “I know you say that ‘none of these [statements] come from Derek’ but we both know that’s not true. You are quoting the exact same things in your email he has spewed in his blogs and twitter for months. […] This is the same person who wrote a letter to Origin and me after Wing Commander was out claiming that we were infringing on his game and we had to cease publishing it or he would sue us. We told him we never heard of him and good luck with that. He never sued.” Well Derek, couldn't you sue over this? This was a very specific claim he made, it should be easy to refute since no one else would back him up, no?

On the plus side Beer, we have confirmation that you don't have to worry about reddit learning your real nameJimeth posted:They may have had to read this thread to make the connection? I'm not exactly how common the knowledge required to make the connection is. All that reddit knows about Beer is filtered through an elaborate game of Libelous Telephone So when an article actually states basic facts about his involvement in the case they're suddenly left with their dicks in their hands but no ice cream cake

/r/Games: The 24-Year Feud That Has Dogged Star Citizen (Kotaku.co.uk) ContributorX_PJ64 It really bothers me how this petty schoolyard feud has overshadowed real critique of the game's development woes. You've got heaps of people willing to parrot about how the game is a vaporware scam just because Derek Smart says so. Derek Smart, once upon a time, was a rather impressive developer, at least on paper. A sort of one man game development cyclone who clearly had no idea how to work effectively with a team or to deliver a working game on any sort of deadline. But he hasn't produced anything interesting in decades. Wheras Roberts has produced SOMETHING.

Quavers posted:/r/Games: The 24-Year Feud That Has Dogged Star Citizen (Kotaku.co.uk) Honestly when you look at one or the other you realize there is no comparison. One just doesn't think big and has an extremely small worldview. Lots of small people out there. Not sure why someone would bother writing that giant article about it. Seems like a waste to me.

alphabettitouretti posted:i'm a "fan girl" as you know teehee hello boys I'd guess its multiple people at a company. They probably have a ticker running through the day that pops up to direct them what to do. 9:32am: ABH: Star Citizen: Find a user on the SC forum with a negative opinion and attack them. 10:48am: ABH: Star Citizen: Find a new gaming forum and start a thread about the game. 3:54pm: ABH: Star Citizen: Check attack thread, respond to user. Back up users joining in, congratulate and support their good choice. Etc etc. My guess is there's more than just Star Citizen hitting their next action queue, but they cycle all day long doing this stuff.

He's too busy doing damage control: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/54jxqy/kotaku_the_24year_feud_that_has_dogged_star/d82hpaz "The only thing DS has ever wanted since Star Citizen was a success was to have his name attached to it somehow. If it couldn't be as a developer - he'd attach it anyway he could. Please be civil over this - and to those who think they're going to win the internet by foaming at the mouth in the comment sections and other forums. You're only going to be a bigger target for trolls - let this one slide and skip commenting on it and it'll disappear faster - keep engaging and it'll all anyone wants to talk about. What happened in gaming last week - do any of you remember the new card-game that was announced or the DLC that is coming up for that game you haven't finished playing. No because its not kept in the medias eyes - how long it takes you to get over this article is how long it will stay in the publics eye."

His own personal website, his own pocket forum right here, and a SWAT team of eager supporters ready to defend Derek for their own Elite game on Frontier. Cowardly, but understandable. No one likes to get owned.
