Oh c'mon, couldn't you just roll with it?

Hint: You forget that we accuse him of being Toast (a RL lawyer). And him wanting to be a "lawyer by day" in the game, rolls back to him being Toast.

I mean seriously, did I really need to spell that out?

LOL!! Those butt-hurt pricks. Who is circumventing a ban? They do realize that OSC was unbanned by Reddit admins, right? And that shortly after that, the /r/StarCitizen mods decided to ban him from their sub-Red anyway?

Dear lurking redditors. Please put aside your 100% foolproof posting analysis for a second and look at this from my perspective. Is it possible that Derek is OSC? Sure, why the hell not? Personally I highly doubt it's him because A) he's told me it isn't, and B) even if he was trying to hoodwink me for some inexplicable reason, there's almost no way it wouldn't have leaked among the super secret goon inner circle at some point. We are very bad at keeping secrets. Just like that time You must have a Platinum account to view this message.

But hey, let's set aside all the reasons why OSC and Derek probably aren't the same guy, and go with your gut. You're 100% sure OSC is Derek, so you report every post he ever makes - fine. I'm not going to start removing posts because I think someone might be an alt of a banned user, based on the speculation (yes, all of your analysis is just that - speculation) of a bunch of people who hate the guy in question to begin with. Let me make this very clear: I will not be removing posts or banning users based on your reports that "OMG OSC IS TOTALLY DEREK." This is not part of some big conspiracy, I just don't believe you. And even if I did, that's an admin problem. Take it up with them. Or better yet, drop your weird crusade against anyone you suspect might be Derek. It's that kind of poo poo that really puts a bunch of holes in the "We just want to archive!" argument y'all are so fond of falling back on.

And it will remain there through the entire month of July and most of August. CIG will then hold it back "Because they want a big reveal at gamescom". But really they need more time.

CIG will then release 3.0 at Gamescom, but it will be a shadow of the original promises made 11 months earlier.

But you'll be okay with this, and say everything is on schedule; Because nothing can ever be late so long as they update the schedule first. Face it, you expected 3.0 months ago, and now you're moving the goalposts to maintain your cognitive dissonance.

**BREAKING*** two sources have now confirmed that 3.0 is such a technological nightmare, and performance hog, that nobody knows how they are going to end up releasing it within the current time frame; let alone for GamesCom.

Croberts working on his new justification speech (aka newsletter), in which he may have no choice but to admit that the switch to LY hasn't been as straightforward (gee, who knew!?) as they made it out to be - seven months ago.

It's amazing to me that since July 2015, I've been right about so many things, that those guys don't even bother recapping them anymore. This despite the fact that I document them religiously in my blogs and forum posts - for a reason.

All that aside, the primary claim that "they can't build the game as pitched" and which everyone was saying that I was wrong about, remains true.

Ignoring the $150m (they were at $85, and have since passed this) + proper engine (they switched to the more advanced LY) that I said they would need to pull it off.

Recently (well, before GamesCom 2016), I said that they simply didn't have the tech to do procedurally generated planets, that the pitched 3.0 was bullshit dipped in Ether. Less than 6 months later, 3.0 has been significantly scaled back. And has moons - in a level - instead of procedural planets (shown in an elaborate R&D video showcase posing as in-game).

I have no doubt that they will probably release something called 3.0, then continue to update it. They did the same thing with 2.0. Right up to 2.6.x

ps: There is another JPEG sale tomorrow June 23rd. So they're probably going to lie in tomorrow's 3.0 schedule update, then update it again the following week with the proper data.

-We're going to see 3.0 release much earlier than "mid-year."
-SQ42 will, at the very least, have a level (or few levels) drop this year. Though, I'm optimistic for a full release before end-of-year.
-Certain evocati will begin testing 3.0 very, very soon.

Quote the poo poo out of this if you want.
