The problem is that Derek was just the first person to start asking the questions others were thinking. Some backers (myself included) have been complaining about the almost non-existent progress on SC for some time. Many are realising that the 90 million they have is probably not actually enough to deliver everything that has been promised when you compare their scope to other games that had bigger budgets and smaller scopes.
CiG could easily clear these rumours up by stating how long they can keep the lights on at their current spend rate and the fact they have refused to is making people think they do in fact have something to hide. |

He doesn't need to tell you jack shit until he needs too. A decision he himself will make/determine. You are an ignorant fuck to sit there throw $20 bucks in and think you are entitled to something more. You don't know shit about their "current spend rate". Derek Smart is a known asshole. Just google derek smart asshole.
In 2003....!

I am well aware of Derek's reputation but I happen to agree with him in this case and I am not the only one. I don't think I am entitled to anything regardless of my pledge, I just pointed out that CiG could have ended these rumours very easily when they first started appearing months ago and they haven't done so which is just fuelling the rumours now. |

I don't give a damn about any of these jerks.
I'm not even sure which one of them is worse for the gamers.
So, Derek, the dev team and their managers can all go and eff each other. |

You do know that Somethingawful is a comedy site, right? you can't quote anything as serious info.
As a long time SA user I know that's laughable, and who even reads the front page anyway?
Derek started to do his thing in the Star Citizen thread on Something Awful. He got trolled so badly he ragequit. |

And the author was seriously begging for a remake of Syndicate.
Be careful what you wish for.... |

Seriously, do you guys know anything about game dev's? He's internationally known as an asshole. It's well documented! His name is attached to the shittiest games on the planet. Letting him even part way into your door is a huge mistake. He's an arrogant fuck and never admits he's wrong, it's always everyone else. He always knows the right choices yet has never made them. He's a troublemaker and when things don't go his way, he tries to absolve himself of blame. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/index.php?title=Derek_Smart&diff=prev&oldid=270625
His website http://www.dereksmart.org/ wreaks of "I suck" and I hope you find my posts Derek. |
