That thread was amazing. I mean the guy blew in like a force of nature and completely ripped right through. Those /r/ds fools just played directly into his hands and they were all in attendance. Everyone got their turn I think. They didn't know what hit them.

Some of those guys went from saying it was me, to saying it was another Goon (RISC911). The disarray and theory-crafting was amazing.

That thread was amazing. We were chatting about it on my Discord channel late last night. Right up to the point where the guy noticed that his thread was removed. It's interesting how all the critical threads over there get removed. Then there is an outcry, and they come back. It happened to two such threads last week.

Apparently those guys there mass reported his thread (as they did to the others) and the auto-moderator removed it. But after this thread happened, it was manually brought back. The poor guy never stood a chance. I mean, look at the -25 downvotes just for asking a question as to why his post was removed. It's hilarious that before it was made known why the thread was removed, they were all speculating and trying to find a reason for his post to be removed. Of course they were all wrong.

Some have been attacking him for being me (aka DS) and over in the /r/DS someone else is now speculating that it's RISC911 (a Goon).

If you go to the guy's Reddit profile and read his comments, it's easy to see why the Usual Suspects would be threatened with reason. He went entirely against their narrative and totally ruffled some knickers.

These were my favorites. I even created an image album out of them because such p0wning needs to be archived for posterity.

1) About those guys on a hate sub-Reddit

Headshot:


2) on elevating DS to bogeyman

3) on DS undermining the project

4) LOL!!! takes on TheGremlich, Shitizen 96

5) About that famous lie that "the community voted to expanded the game scope"

6) About the need to raise money when the game is already late & over budget

7) LOL!! You mad, bro?

8) On DS being "jealous" of Star Citizen

9) LOL!! Apparently having no credit rating means you can still get business loans

10) About those pesky things like schedules

11) where they are now making excuses for why moons instead of planets are coming

12) The ever-shifting release date goal post

You'll probably notice your posts don't show up til a mod approves them manually. (hint: they usually never do)

You can check this by logging out and viewing the thread, your post likely won't be there.

So basically the community can downvote someone enough to defacto ban them. Often this downvoting will affect your posting on the entire site as they throttle many things through karma.

So only post positive things or be one of the lucky ones to post a negative thing at the right time.

From Robert's bio on the site:

quote:

Chris Roberts is one of the most recognized, well-respected, and successful game developers in the interactive entertainment industry. As a storyteller, game designer, game producer, and live-action director, Roberts skillfully combines vision with technical expertise to consistently create cutting edge, top-grossing and often revolutionary interactive entertainment products. A gaming wunderkind, Roberts sold his first computer game at the age of 14, and by the age of 20 Roberts had developed three #1 hits in his native U.K.: Match Day, Wiz Adore, and Stryker's Run. In 1987, Roberts joined Origin Systems, Inc. (“OSI”), which was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary by Electronic Arts (“EA”) in 1992. Roberts was instrumental in OSI’s growth from a company with $4 million in annual revenues to a company with annual revenues of $50 million. Roberts’ first development project during his eight-year tenure with OSI was Times of Lore, which rose to #1 on Ingram's Best-Seller list in 1988. In 1990, Roberts developed Wing Commander, which set a new standard in PC games and evolved into a franchise series of game titles, all developed and produced by Roberts.

quote:

The Strike Commander project took more than four years and over a million man hours on background development. Very little of that production time turned out to be actually usable in the final product, as at least one and possibly several complete project "reboots" were required to refine the graphical engine to a playable state. [...] Chris Roberts, in the game's manual, compares the game's long development time with the events in the 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, a film account of what it took to get the 1979 film Apocalypse Now made.

Amazon is certainly one of the best placed companies for throwing millions down a toilet on a chance. I still think if anyone at Amazon threw money at CIG, they deserve to get fired, and I should get their job.

That came out in April of 1993. If you had to do several project reboots on a video game engine in the early 90s, you're a loving disaster. That was a magical point in time where you could write cutting edge game engines single handedly in a few months.
