Recently, I keep seeing references to the 'rumours about Ortwin'. I haven't been able to keep up with the thread because, you know, life, but can someone elaborate?

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Ortwin is the Canary. Soon as you see him bail, shop is closing soon after.

He'd be laughed and jeered at. Just like he is everyday all over the internet. A few eager beavers might get a little mad but that's about it.

Theres a reason he hides here.

You know Lowtax could ban Derek right now and it wouldn't even slow down this thread for a minute.

EDIT: Is this a Moma alt or a Lazrin alt?

Funny that they actually looked at his amazing body of work, not his qualifications, when they hired him. Plus he left of his own accord. Yeah, too funny when some guy from ITT-Tech leaves your $124m disaster project.

Young Freud posted:

I just looked at Forrest Stephan and what "amazing body of work"? His artstation account has like one image there.


Exactly. His portfolio is a scifi living room with a hard sided plastic sofa. And a round "dinner" table that has bar stools and a freaking foot rest ring.

Are we talking about the same guy here or are Young Freud and I smoking too high grade of dope?

I think this is terrible management obviously as I'm not a complete idiot. But if anyone reading is still working at CIG please figure out a way to record at least one of these tantrums, comedy gold.

Considering how little Chris seems to know about computers, that would probably be easy to sneak onto his computer.

If you buy it, you should play it at least once. Maybe you'll like it! There's even a reference to SA in one of the anomalies your science ships can discover.

I don't recall seeing any SA references. Could you give us a clue as to what it might be?

You have a unique opportunity here to show real fans everywhere that not all of you are braindead, fanatical, dimwits. And this is how you choose to utilize that opportunity? Weak insults a 5 year old could shrug off?

OK, so tell us why you still have faith in the project when after five years of development and over $120 million the gameplay is exactly what is shown in peter gabriel's videos?

Didn't realize SA had that big of an influence! I thought we were just a small group of salty asshats! Interesting how this website is both inconsequential and the most dire threat to Chris Roberts's dream.

You have the unique opportunity to start an open dialog, assuage any misgivings we might have, and have yet to definitely answer any questions. A lack of definitive response is one of the reasons some people here are skeptical toward SC/SQ42, and you're not helping to put the project in a good light.

How much are you in for, commando?

In a sane universe that live stream should have kill star citizen right then and there. The main man himself had obviously not played the game and spent a good time making GBS threads on his team to the entire internet. Praise in public and all that.

I think most citizens will be perfectly happy if you never play the game. But I, and several others, think this community can be redeemed somewhat. We don't need to prove ourselves to you, but you need to prove yourselves to us if you wish to be a part of this community. Its really not too late.
