I remember the SC thread before this (or even before that) had some goons claiming they genuinely like Derek. I think this was before even he was made a mod.

If he had 140 million of other peoples money he could afford top men in every field. License the cobra engine from Braben, really good artists and whoever did the UI for the original home-world. An entire team to do customer relations that he wasn't married to might also be a good idea.

As long as he didn't go Hollywood mental, he'd wipe the floor with the crobbler gain massive critical acclaim, and still have 50 million to buy a private island to warlord from.

Bad games are bad. Funding doesn't change that. We made a cool thread on the SA forums that talks about such a game. Check it out some time.

It's the same us backers got right? It's well worth a watch, pretty cool actually

Sadly, they fell into the trap of adjusting the scope to fit within budget, so the planned fully immersive dynamic subsumption-based AI with real time interactive storyline procedurally-generated hand painted experience I've been waiting for my entire life got cut and instead I got a pretty great RPG

He'd have his picture on the box and in the games title whilst he soaks up some sun and drinks overly fancy cocktails on his private beach whilst watching the share price rise.

1) He first posted he was in "sunny CA"

He knows it's hosed. His narrative always gave him a way out, though, in that he's now going to argue about the technicalities of how CIG failed ("Derek was wrong on this specific point paragraph 3 sentence 4!") rather than the ultimate reality that this project was doomed from the jump.

I heard some fellers from SA decided to take it personally and teach the admin a thing or two about doxxing people.

You're friendly internet warlord will gladly take credit for it and the people involved don't really care to be in the limelight so it's a win win win situation.

Stop doxxing people, stop sending death threats, stop obsessively reading 60000000 words posts of the game you hate on reddit, stop trying to rationalize these things as some sort of perverted sense of justice because someone has the wrong opinion on videogames.
