it's really funny to me that if chris just gave erin the reigns and appeared every now and again to collect every disability check in the world he'd pretty much be the steve jobs of the gaming industry

Didn't we joke about you being a closet shill meant to take media attention away from SC so that you and Croberts could retire together or something?

I dunno how much they say it in Texas, but in Florida it's at least once every other sentence when there's a storm coming.

Plus they haven't had a chance to say it in a while, so they're gonna be all over it.

Chris and Sandi visit Gary Oldman's beach house to try and bribe him to film the last SQ42 episode when Gary Oldman keels over mid shouting match. As Chris starts dialing 911 Sandi pulls his hand down. "What if..." she says, a twinkle in her eye.

hahaha all i wanted to say if chris was replaced with *competent game making manager* it would probably be released i didn't say that to find out if anyone here was sad enough to hold extremely passionate feelings for the professional competence of chris's brother. however we now have the answer to that question too lol

But that's the thing, it does matter how long, whale peak oil has come and gone and money doesn't grow on trees.

I covered this in my September blog post:

Quavers posted:

Posting from the past, but...

Plot twist:
  • Early 2015, when it became apparent to Crobberts that the development of Star Engine, Star Marine, and Squadron 42 were in massive difficulties thereby threatening funding, he personally contacted Derek
  • Fixing the engine issues while simultaneously creating the mechanics and content would take years, but there was little chance that funding would stretch that far
  • So both Crobberts and Derek came up with the grand plan of "hiding" the development troubles/failures, with the latter becoming the "bad guy" claiming that CIG were up to no good
  • "But will they believe the ruse?" "of course they will! Look see, thousands of idiots have already sperged up 1000s of dollars chasing the dream, they'll pay more to safeguard it *wink*"
  • Croberts began cyphening siphoning off (more) money from the project, including payments to Derek to keep up his end - an enemy for the fantical backers to fund against
  • Derek's FUD campaign latched on to pre-existing Goon doubts, thereby recruiting a pawn army for anti-shilling, further riling up the Citizen masses into further payments
  • Demos were shown generating hype, deadlines continually missed, no solid development plans released, and pre-alphas crashed like a ZX81
  • The media were setup with Derek-organised "leaks", but contained just enough subtle inaccuracies for the Citizens to deny the bigger picture news
  • Meanwhile, money still flowed in - at ever diminishing rates as the well dried up - all to "prove Derek wrong"
  • Cue project failure, with Derek & Crobberts laughing all the way to the bank. A happy couple, forever and always.

James Cameron at least did *some* leg work, unlike Croberts. During research dives for the project Cameron actually spent more time on the Titanic than the passengers did! (At least while they were alive that is) He also produced a product, so pretty fuckin visionary compared to moosh mouth man.
