Derek Smart was right.

'When you read the Star Citizen thread, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try, you can't read it forever.
Everybody knows that everybody posts, and nobody knows it like Virtual Captain. But I do think that all the threads of all the subforums might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.

Everybody knows that everybody posts... but not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody posts at all.
Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and Virtual Captain comes to call...
...everybody PARPs.' :gary:



I've never gif'd before. And no I don't know why felt compelled to do this.

And lo the heavens did open, and star citizen posts did rain upon them, and they were sore afraid.

(thanks for including the legal stuff, it's one of the craziest parts of this whole neverending fiasco)

Are those crazy strings of photoshops made by shitizens (I assume so)?

And what did Behaviour do on SC?

drat nice writeup of the legal action.

Probably more like 10/4 to crytek due to no punitive damages being a big loss.

Wandered over here from the Politics section of SA. Feels right at home alongside the Freep and RWM threads.

Has anyone written a book about this yet? This is a treasure trove of incompetence and grift and that's an opportunity to tell a way better story than Star Citizen could even dream of.

Great investigative work, goons.
Some day Derek Smart will write a book about this, which will just be a compilation of his infinitely long and infinitely incoherent and terrible blog posts. It will simultaneously be the longest single publication in history, and the worst.

Great work as ever VC.

Beginning of the year is always quiet time for SC as croberts and co come to the realisation that all the bullshit delaying tactics crap they promised they'd launch at the end of last year will never actually come to fruition

Is there a handy collection of 'this poo poo is broken' gifs that I can bust out any time he posts?

The alternate is having to explain to HR why 'Derek Smart' is a trigger word that we're no longer allowed to say in the office.

drat. That is a good article. Although it feels like it cuts off 2/3rds of the way through the story - the stuff at the end of last year was so insane, the levels of depression among the community so palpable at this stage.

So presumably this is the annual long 'nothing happening' phase of Shart Citizen? When's the Next Big Thing supposed to happen? If I remember rightly they're not doing any shows this year so are we basically going to be waiting until the Citizencon or until legal news (or perhaps total project failure)?
