FAU is painfully unfunny and makes terrible mod decisions, but he accidentally did something good this time.

things like Star Citizen become exponentially less funny when people want to make it about themselves. This is the largest train crash in gaming history and will probably lead to literal suicides. It's a thing to watch. Star Citizen itself is the point. It isn't about any one person.

That and silencing leaks was bullshit. Derek has clustered a bunch of sources of information and suppressed them so he is in charge of them.

So not only was he trying to make this entire thing about him, he was also strangling the actual comedy out of it at the same time.

People talk to me though and all of those "Two Weeks" and "The ELE is in full swing" posts were usually about someone telling derek about actual federal agents being involved, actual lawsuits being filed, something a senior dev at CIG said or did or was going to do. I'd have rather just heard that poo poo in the first place instead of getting it through an insane middleman who is only interested in himself and never divulges what he was actually told, just drops hints that he knows things.

Hell just from seeing him swoop down on anyone that actually had anything relevant to say over the past year i've learned a ton of poo poo that never made it into the thread because it was usually someone coming on the discord and having 5 minutes to actually say something to prove they knew inside information before Derek arrived, publicly scolded them and then six months later that person has said nothing else at all about CIG.

The man needs therapy. And I don't mean that insultingly, I mean therapy and of course commitment to change for the better would likely stand a good chance of improving his quality of life. Bit of a callback to thread history when everyone was hoping he'd start losing weight and get out of his lovely job.

Also though when Atxsperg and Nineace started posting Derek would appear, say "PM Me" and then the leaks stopped completely.

Bootcha's stories stopped completely after derek told him to PM him.

Ideate used to talk about personally meeting wingman and having discussions about the original investors and the project. Stopped completely when Derek scolded him in discord and told him to private chat him.

He has just been collecting anyone and everyone that actually knows anything at all and putting them under his direct supervision so that he can be the one to disseminate information. Except now people still don't know about the actual lawsuit that has been filed against CIG months after I found out, because I happened to see a message before Derek jumped all over the source.

I'd be way more forgiving of him inserting himself into the situation by collecting sources if he actually just loving said what they told him, but he just constantly tells everyone about all of this sweet information he has while telling nobody any of it. Had he not been here from the start at least 3-4 people would have continued giving us actual, relevant and funny information. All of that was completely eliminated though.

Just want to point out that Derek Smart can't prevent any CIG leaks from saying whatever they want anonymously to the whole world. If you didn't hear from them it's because they didn't want to, not because Derek is somehow suppressing them.

Just want to point out that multiple times in multiple places people were saying whatever they wanted, and in each case Derek jumped in and they stopped, completely. It's happened a bunch of times.

Yeah you can totally argue that people are adults and nobody can tell them what to do, but leaking a bunch of good information and then obviously stopping when Derek publicly demanded they speak with him is pretty obvious.

Not to mention a lawyer allowing you to say "I'm trying to get them to sue me so I can dig through their records" would be disbarred. The case literally would have no chance with a high likelihood of contempt getting tossed at you for trying. In short derek is positively full of poo poo about some of this, and I kinda doubt he has a lawyer giving him advice. If he does that lawyer should absolutely be reported to the Florida bar so they can sort out if his lawyer is full of poo poo or he is.. just sayin.

If he was hoarding all this super secret insider info it would stand to reason that his predictions would be right at least somewhat often but when he stops blue balling long enough to actually make a prediction it's almost always wrong. ELE, 90 days til shutdown, Austin, Federal agents, 100% guaranteed to cause legal action, etc, etc, etc

Either way it's all great comedy because two people who are entirely up their own asses and who haven't done anything relevant in gaming in decades are having one of the most retarded slapfights in the history of the internet and as long as you aren't buying jpegs it's all free.

I think they backed down because the whole thing became a shitstorm of epic proportions and no one wants to get involved with any of that in their professional lives unless they are independently wealthy. Ultimately they could simply ignore Derek's futile demands and continue speaking to The Escapist or anyone else who would listen to them, no?
They chose, correctly IMO, to say "gently caress that noise" and get on with their lives.

Or he told them he would take care of it and leak it, then never did, and the people thinking it was settled moved on and didn't look back.

And it doesn't matter with the whales, in fact it's funnier if they ignore it. Still feel like we missed out on some comedy though.
