It's not the same as this guy but we booted a few people from Games because they only ever posted in the Star Citizen thread - I mean, only EVER posted there, this is the Star Citizen forum for them - and they hadn't absorbed the rest of SA's general culture and how it's shifted over the years. So one long-time poster there thought it was fine to start expressing textbook transphobic 'I just wish they wouldn't dilute what it means to be a woman' poo poo, and when they got booted suddenly there were two more all 'oh it's all WITCH HUNTS now? it's all WRONGTHINK now? people can't have OPINIONS now?'

That entire little saga was wild, some extremely living in a 2013 internet time bubble energy going on for some of those posters.

It's not so much that it was ever funny, but it's vaguely interesting because even by gimmick account standards, reregging repeatedly to post vaguely famous people obit threads is a strange gimmick.

I'm reminded of how Party Plane Jones posted little to nothing more than white noise twitter dumps in D&D and somehow was considered a pillar of the community.

I don't check on it regularly, but compared to 5 years ago, there are definitely more 'game modes' now, and the main game mode has slightly more things to do and places to go. If I understand correctly, for legal reasons, the game is still in alpha, though.

One of my greatest shames is that I also donated to Star Citizen, because for some reason I like Wing Commander

But you see, instead of posting in a thread with Derek Smart, I simply got a refund

Ironically, I think Derek Smart has at least contributed to raising enough stink to make them allow refunds. They didn't at first.
