Sabreseven posted:You're probably not far off tbh, all the recent langauge from CIG screams of money trouble. From the subtle "please keep spending if you want to support us" to the aggresive "each item ships at individual costs". It all adds up and when laid out is indicating a fairly plausible red flag. If i had invested in this farce, i would just go into submarine mode a few months with my social media accounts/forum posts. I really hope you are right. Is it considered a witchhunt if one starts to collect nice snippets to throw it back to the whiteknights faces? Should we start a quote database?

RandomNinja posted:It's hilarious that the diehard believers think that Derek controls everyone's actions, or influences their beliefs somehow? I spent a good few years in the conspiracy mines in the 1990s, so there's a couple of things to recognize. Firstly, the conspiracy theory itself a coping tool that allows people to completely ignore nuance and/or cognitive dissonance relating to a particular belief. Cognitive Dissonance itself is the juxtaposition of two entirely separate beliefs that are mutually exclusive. it usually sets up around some aberrant belief that has way too much influence on the person meeting a 'fact'. Because the two ideas clash so horribly, they're usually unified into a narrative that allows for supra and sub competencies on the conspiracy itself. So for example, the US government is smart enough to deconstruct an alien spacecraft, but lets a guy do the 1990s circuit talking about it. They're ruthless enough to trigger false flag operations to 'take your guns', but always seem to forget the legislative route. Derek is merely an identifiable individual (the smallest unit you can break things down to - minimizing is important here) that they can blame for everything. The cognitive dissonance of him actually having _nothing_ to do with the development of the game, yet having _everything_ to do with perceived attacks leads to the weird ideation and conflation of Doowop Smathers into an ideological 'devil' of sorts. RandomNinja posted:Also, early access games suck and I'm sick of them. The video game industry needs to burn and be rebuilt. It's stagnant and lovely. Yeah, I'm calming my hype into waiting for the first/second sales for most games, as I have a backlog and no time. The idea of beta-testing software was cute before it became par for the course, and one of the things that convinces me that SC doesn't have a stellar future is the move towards 'pick up and play' supplanting the 'second job' for the majority gamer, shuffling the microtransactions MMO into more and more of a niche. All the talk of digital assets _appreciating_ sends my eyebrows hiding in my hairline. It's like, "Point out whereever that has happened". There's a very specific curve to gaming 'value', and I'll be surprised if SC has _any_ longevity beyond flameout. Space Crabs posted:You fools complaining about projects needing things like scope, accountability, limits, controls, multiple opinions, deadlines and budgets are fools. fools = fools Checks out guys. peter gabriel posted:This I can sort of understand, Derek is the Bad Man as designated by Chris. Yeah, but have you seen them? They could be absolutely breath-taking. I mean those balls alone have to be lustrous and brassy.

The fact that these people still believe this is what happened is endlessly amusing, especially because I think Hater even admitted he was loving with them in one post after the fact. Someone should go search through the discord and find the part where he asked us to make poo poo up so Bribase can finally find peace lol.

IMO this would all be collapsing sooner than it potentially would if Derek wasn't on this crusade. His being vocal has rallied the whales and cultists to dump more money into CIG in order to spite him among other things. Derek also acts as a focal point for SC fans to rally against, there would probably be more infighting at this point if he wasn't around.

One day Derek will rip off the mask and reveal that Derek was really Roberts all along. He created Derek just to get people to give him more money. And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling goons.
