Derek Smart - "Don't ask me" what's wrong. Can't stop smiling about it. Did not steal Derek Smart's lunch money.

Does not regret the choice to use CryEngine. Used to making his own engine, assumed two years of development just to get to where they are now. Better to take what worked, like the renderer and animation system. Decided early on to modify existing engine instead, happy to have CryTek folks.

More interested in a controller balanced approach instead of a controller agnostic approach. So the advantage of flight for joysticks should counter the advantage of aiming for mice. Considers AC to be just a small part of the PU and doesn't represent everything that will come into play. Increases to weapon size are example. 70% of players use the mouse.

Social module release end of August. FPS end of September. Multi-crew end of October. Acknowledges a complete lack of buffer in terms of schedule. Squadron 42 will not be discussed until CitCon.

Iterations of the persistent universe by the end of the year (leaving planets, etc).

Eye stabilization is already implemented in SC. Differentiation between helmet and FOV is because of helmet mass. Considers it an element of balance. Continues to tweak. Acknowledges that some people will be sick.

I will give Chris one thing, Strike Commander looked pretty fooking amazing... 10 years after it was released, when a home computer was finally built that could run it at anything other than "lol u scrub" settings.

Also: "Strike Commander took years to develop, and in the game's manual, Roberts alludes to it being his own Apocalypse Now, a project plagued by delays and production problems."

For the record, I'm probably about as far to the left of Sanders as Sanders is to Hilary.

I hate capitalism more than I love being wealthy. I hold no illusions about "independence" in the modern world. I hold the following to be self-evident truth. With a reasonably diligent amount of research, any earnest student of history and science will arrive at the same conclusions about industrial capitalism I outline below:

1. Capitalism is a system of resource distribution which actively prevents equilibrium. All systems approach equilibrium unless prevented from doing so by a constantly applied external force. In capitalism, that force is systematic hierarchical violence.

2. Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized.
Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims. Our way of living—industrial civilization—is based on, requires, and would collapse very quickly without persistent and widespread violence.

3. The property of those higher on the hierarchy is more valuable than the lives of those below. It is acceptable for those above to increase the amount of property they control—in everyday language, to make money—by destroying or taking the lives of those below. This is called production.
If those below damage the property of those above, those above may kill or otherwise destroy the lives of those below. This is called justice.

NOTE: The recent backlash against police brutality/murder is a sure sign #3 is beginning to change; this change will be fatal for capitalism

4. Within this culture, economics—not community well-being, not morals, not ethics, not justice, not life itself—drives social decisions. Social decisions are determined primarily (and often exclusively) on the basis of whether these decisions will increase the monetary fortunes of the decision-makers and those they serve.
Stated another way - Social decisions are founded primarily (and often exclusively) on the almost entirely unexamined belief that the decision-makers and those they serve are entitled to magnify their power and/or financial fortunes at the expense of all those beneath them in the hierarchy.

5. Given the premises stated above, anyone who truly despises violence must be opposed to capitalism. As I love reason and loathe violence (and exploitation, poverty, starvation, indignity, drudgery, and suffering) I am therefore opposed to capitalism. This is not a political choice, I am compelled by the evidence to believe as I do. My reason for opposing capitalism is in essence the same as my reason for opposing religion: I loathe human suffering.

I look at history and see a long trend away from violence, ignorance, and superstition arcing slowly toward reason, knowledge, and empathy. Like a 350 old man on life support in the hospital, capitalism is dying. It's dying now because growing empathy is finally killing it. To PREVENT capitalism's death now would represent a monumental historical aberration - a break from this thousands of years long undeniable trend toward a civilization of ruled purely by reason and empathy.

Capitalists tend to believe that individuals gravitate towards being inherently bad. This belief is not only provably false, but willfully ignorant. Human nature is trusting, open, generous, curious, compassionate, and kind. Study Bonobo Chimpanzees for reference. By contrast, most of human culture is myth-rooted, unscientific, deceptive, ignorant, fearful, hateful, and self-and-other-destructive. Why is that? Culture is ancient, it's been around for tens of thousands of years - most of that time dominated by violence - while modern reason is a relative infant at only around 400 years old.
