I can't decide if Garriot is extremely successful or a hack. A lot of times I listen to him talk and think "Yeah, this guy is smart." Then I remember he has a rat tail and Persian Club Owner level of jewellery. He's been hugely successful at scamming people through crowdfunding and while he hasn't reached star citizen levels of money, not even Chris Roberts thought to crowdfund crowdfunding. I'm not sure if I'm depressed or impressed.

I said come in! posted:

Granted this is from 2013 but lmao in retrospect. All of these people, Richard Garriot included, are horrible hacks.

Or undisputed masters of exploiting the dreams and aspirations of those who support them.
