Gary Oldman is now playing Winston Churchill in an up and coming film. The prosthetic make-up is brilliant, but his lips give it away.

Lol, get a load of this guy admitting that someone else owns INN but still just claiming to be INN because he foolishly trusted them with ownership of the content.

I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't Dolvak who just went rogue and decided they could all get hosed.

Jake Dimare is Wolf Larsen, Jake is a shill head of marketing for a digital marketing company that Sandi Gardiner retweets, this is maybe a sign that the INN2 guys aren't being paid directly by CIG, coverage might change from positive, otherwise why bother splitting?

If they INN2 fell out with Wolf (INN1) maybe they were pissed he was getting paid for doing gently caress all while tweeting from all over the world about digital marketing crap.

Or maybe the Digital Clarity Group (a digital marketing company that used to be called Agency Oasis, or bought them or something) and CIG have fallen out and CIG is trying to directly control INN2 using pinched content creators.

Whatever is going on, I'm sure it's funny.

They're all credulous idiots who spend their time propping up CIG's ponzi scheme, but in this fight I'm picking Jake's side on principle 'cause he's on his own and the underdog. And also he's clearly a big enough rear end in a top hat to have alienated the entire INN staff, and who doesn't want a giant rear end in a top hat that everyone hates to be in charge of CIG's biggest propaganda site?

He's also head of marketing, he's probably had content creators declare independence and form a republic dozens of times before.

Everyone at INN left to join INN2, apart from the single guy that created the INN website, who works at a digital marketing company just down the road from CIG LA (their old office) and hasn't logged into his RSI account since June.

Oh my god, this thing keeps on giving and giving.

The INN/OUTT drama is awesome! The INN 2.0 guys already are in disagreement if they should rename (one said they'd rename, another one said they remain INN because that name is well known).

This is just too good.

Remember: report all INN threads in r/starcitizen as blog spam. Or don't. Whatever you think is funniest. It gives me a chuckle anyway.

Good lord, these asshats never cease to amuse. Imagine actually having arguments over who gets the precious INN brand. That's over a thousand people who clicked subscribe and now can't remember why! Some of those videos get several hundred views! This is a legal tussle of such magnitude I can only imagine it being properly handled by The Warlord's own Legal (woof) and Leonard J. Crabs. gently caress the presidential election, THIS is going to be the big story of the year.

This is good. Answers my question too.

I wonder if it's possible all the people Wolf/Jake hired really were doing it free of charge. As events transpired they learned who Wolf was and that he actually wasn't doing it for free.

Instead of share the cut, Jake sets them up a "fund my life" Patreon that didn't end well.

Jealousy grew as Jake did more and more things based on their hard labor and work without giving proper dues.

If that's true, INN2 is probably going to be short lived, since I can't imagine there's a ton of money in it. Meanwhile Jake will just hire new people for INN and actually pay them.

Probably never know for real but hey, there's my two cent conjecture. :)
