It does seem to be original SC content, so it really does point to either being an SC marketing thing or possibly something syrian. (notice the nameserver names, and syria related articles) i don't know what is or isn't doxing anymore so here is some text from his linkedin profile without his name/pic

If they don't know this by now, either their reality distortion fields are stuck on 11, they are too dream-driven to think about it, or both. I am voting for the last. Sadly, I suspect, I really think we have played out the potential pool of sleepers that might awaken. Unless something SERIOUSLY ELE actually happens, or 3.0 consists of nothing but a mocapped 3D render of Crobber's rear end, this will continue until all the whales are out of money. I will continue the fight, as I am too wrecked from PTSD (pre-alpha traumatic stress disorder) to do anything else. Speaking of which, haven't been on Reddit for a few days. I know my thinking was too unsewerlike for some reason...

This is CIG directly linking itself to transparently bottom-of-the-barrel scam tactics. Before there was always some shadow of a doubt, maybe they were just brutally incompetent or maybe Chris was kind of a perfect storm of greed and stupidity but the project wasn't a scam, per se. But this is the second or third time in a month that they've used a fake news site to push lies about the state of progress. It is really easy to see through. And it indicates some pretty loving serious contempt for the critical thinking skills of the fan base.

moma must be a cig employee. He disappeared for the holidays on these fine forums but played sm for 40 hours? And then that was shown to be a lie because the max is 30 hours? I find it incredibly hilarious that a cig employee's job is to come here and bog the thread down with nonsense. Carry on. Just my observations.

And it indicates some pretty loving serious contempt for the critical thinking skills of the fan base. They already did this once with no repercussions. That one site that had no gaming reviews on it previously that just posted a CIG press release detailing features that did NOT exist as a real review. I forget the name, but I am sure you remember the buzz on that one. If they could get away with it without pissing off anyone but drat, dirty Goons, then why can't they do it a second time? They figure all those brainblind losers are so hypnotized by Crobber's mesmeric hand gestures (oh, you thought those were involuntary signposts of his incompetence? Nope. All hail Hypnohands!), or the dream of seeing Sandi's synthebreasts, or the hope the pink haired Brit CIG girl might actually acknowledge their existence that they can say pretty much anything at this point. The astounding lack of critical thinking regularly evidenced by their backer brigade at this point in the mounting pyramid of failure lets them feel they can act with impunity. And then when their public-facing employees decide to feather their own nests under the convenient cover of CIG's eaves with no danger whatsoever from either CIG or the Citizenry, they see more reaffirmation of the sanctity of the path. Add to that the repeated blatant theft of intellectual property from a huge number of sources, and their conviction in their own invincibility can only increase. This is a perfect storm of people going boldly where angels fear to tread, and every minute they continue down that path is another vindication of the righteousness of their crusade. And between writing this and my recent visit to Reddit, I feel rather dirty (and not in a fun way), so I think I shall go and play a team-based shooter that not only exists, but is really rather fun, Overwatch. Should any Goon feel the need to put the hurting on me, look up Samizdata#1571 on Battle.net. I shall be pleased to do my best to disabuse you of your notions of superiority. Cheers, and sorry for the Wall O' Text. This is as close to effortposting as I get.

Let me get this straight...they worked on Star Marine for a year after scrapping a previous, mostly complete version of it, and only about 1000 people have played it? WTFOSaurus, who is presumably paid by CIG to stream their game, has played the most of anyone in the world, at 30 hours?

Ok I think your comment is appalling and out of order. First of all there is no marketing firm linked to this IP address. andrewmahermarketing.com is not a marketing firm it's an online resume which I have since had to delete from my server thanks to you. I thought it was private and only employers could access but nope. Cheers for that. Pixel Lemonade is only 5 days old you are correct. So? Reddit was only 5 days old once too. Big deal. Articles copied from news.com.au were put in when I was building the site from the original wordpress template to help fill it out for layout purposes. My team and I are working on original articles and stories to replace those over time. Jeez dude chill out, if anyone is scummy it's you. We are in no way affiliated with CIG, to suggest otherwise is just laughable. I thought this article would be interesting to write about and the idea is to formulate over the next few weeks a solid core of original articles which we can publish so have patience, we're building. And show some respect too, don't go around the internet calling us scummy because we wrote a positive article about Star Citizen, or that I have an online resume or that we are new to the internet. We're not even showing ads for our trouble, so far this project is just costing me money in server maintenance so I have nothing financially to gain.
