It doesn't have to be Federal. State level prosecution works in almost the same manner. And like I said, it's POSSIBLE that Derek himself is involved or that someone that Derek is in contact with is and is giving him this information. We all like to make fun of him but one thing I believe we can all agree on is that anyone can look like a lunatic when we have burning knowledge of something but can't talk about it and can only make hints.

Agreed, but just this once, I'd like to know the details, no more teasing, no more blue balls :D

From the tweetstorm:


"remember when I said due to obstruction of justice liabilities there was much I couldn't talk about? pucker up guys, justice has arrived"

I am interested in seeing what this means, as it sounds very ominous. What is the justice, how has it arrived? My desire to know more intensifies. Will I find out in two weeks?

CIG wouldn't be conducting the investigation so I'd expect at least a sliver of professionalism.

It slays me though that anyone would believe that if there was any sort of investigation that derek would be involved in any way at all.

again, lmbo

Have you seen the state America (and Britain, to be fair) is in recently. Sweet reason does not seem to be the guiding force. Derek Smart being involved with an official investigation makes a lot more sense to me than Trump becoming president, the Bundys being cleared of pretty much every charge, and Britain leaving the EU.

In CRoberts constant lust for "realism" he constantly trips over what actually makes game immersive and just furthers makes things that would make his game impossible to work with things like VR.

Pressing E or whatever to vault and having your character fail at it is actually incredibly intrusive and will instantly pull you away from what you are doing, reminding you that you are playing a lovely game.

Once the money started to roll in at the start of the kickstarter Chris got all excited and said "Sandi, this is gonna work, no more car selling for me! I better brush up on my game design skills, could you order me 'Dummies guild to Game Design' book from Amazon?"

"Sure" replied Sandi, and using her years of acting skills of learning to remember her lines she promptly logged on the Amazon and ordered 'Guild to Dumb Game Design'

Five years and $150 million dollars later, the Citizens are getting this level of game design and Sandi is getting big diamond rings.

Everything has work out great.

I think you'll find that dumb "realism" is exactly why backers gave Chris $150,000,000. If you don't like that, maybe you should get the gently caress out and play a different game.

This is where he keeps tripping up, no one has said the game in itself even with all the extras is impossible, what most people do say though is : "with CIG's history of being crap at pretty much everything except taking peoples money it would be a massive stretch to assume or put faith in them as a company being competent enough to make anything near what they are pitching".

Also, why the wankbiscuiting gently caress would anyone have "hard questions" to ask a person who doubted a game would get made? Wouldn't it be better to just play the thing and not let it bother you? It seems it's somehow some sort of criminal offence to, even with the benefit of knowledge of CIG's prior incompetance backing it up, be doubtful of a game being brought to release.

It would be like me asking "hard questions" to him on the day it all falls flat on it's arse, I just wouldn't bother and be quite content laughing my arse off at him for being stupid. :)

Hey Tarkatheotter, we may be assholes over here, but at least we are not assholes that think a used car salesman who hasn't touched a pc in the last 20 years other than to draft people a 'bill of sale' for a car he doesn't personally own can suddenly out of gently caress all knowledge make a game that could change the face of gaming.

I love when community dissent is at all time high, CIG uses the "show the capital class ships that will never make it into the game" fire extinguisher that at best has a 10% charge left in it that stifles the flames momentarily; they did the same thing for citizencon and the holiday disasterstream.

The question is, do backers eventually get tired of this routine?

I don't know but Reddit thinks the AtV was better than sliced bread.

I like the reverse development. Work on 3.0 for six months, then cram in the schedule on a Friday night on supposedly what you were working on. What a company.

I've heard that the Houser brothers from Rockstar are trying to get selves some intern roles at CIG to learn about how the best games will be made in the future. It's the only way Rockstar can stay viable going forward. They are find it hard though to get the roles as Chris does not think they understand now to combined story telling and gameplay. (He also wonders about their business sense as that they never charged players for pre-alpha cars in GTA or saddle up grades in RDR)
