Let's read 15,000 words about it ! http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2016/09/26/the-24-year-feud-that-has-dogged-star-citizen quote:At this point, it would have been easy for Cloud Imperium Games and its media division to disarm Derek Smart. A simple “Thank you for your valuable input” would probably have sufficed: the sort of humble, the-customer-is-always-right kind of statement that a regular PR agency would have whipped up in 15 minutes. The company could have been open about the fact that development was dragging on for longer than expected, and that all the backers were starting to wonder what was happening behind the scenes. But instead, Cloud Imperium took the worst possible approach when dealing with Derek Smart. As he himself puts it: This Star Citizen game sounds interesting!

Star citizen will be amazing and all the people that made fun of it won't be allowed to play and wil miss out on the best game ever made and most will commit suicide once they realize the grievous error they made.

Nooner posted:please explain this thread to me in a few short sentences, is this a gamergate thing or what? quote:On a sunny January day, a man named Kevin found himself walking down 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, a few blocks from the iconic pier with its towering ferris wheel. People in fancy clothes, lugging heavy shopping bags, were darting in and out of the boutiques lining the street. Others took refuge in the shade of large sun umbrellas, sipping over-priced coffee. Kevin had been given an address, but not much else. To reach the offices of Cloud Imperium Games, he had to pass through a dimly lit corridor that linked the promenade with a back street. It was easy to miss, but once he found his way, he was greeted by a smiling Will Lewis, who at the time was the highest ranking moderator of the RSI community. Which one of y'all is Kevin

Autists gave a guy 125 million dollars to make a vidya game and he spent half of it making a really bad movie and the other half on restoration hardware furniture and motorized doors and espresso machines.

I find Star Citizen humorous and am glad we have a subforum of insane individuals dedicated to digging up all the absurd poo poo surrounding it so that I can read about it without making any actual effort myself.

It's about Derek being envious of super successful rockstar developer Chris Roberts. All the posters in this thread are just puppets of Derek imo spreading this clickbait filth around.

space roberts is a smart man All he had to do was say he was making a game and apparently an army of nerds threw money at him and kept throwing the money, for years Now he can basically just release the very clearly mediocre game he has made, and still end up a rich man with all the money left over that is clearly going into his pockets
