Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been able to stop by earlier, I've been totally swamped with work, research, attorneys etc

Also, my 2nd Star Citizen article was pushed to Mon to give legal the chance to review a last minute revision. So I had to deal with that.

Anyway, as you guys who have followed my industry shenanigans for many years now, when I wrote the 1st article, I knew that I was going to get attacked by a new generation of people who have no clue who I am. Those are the people who go around taking all kinds of bits and pieces from the Internet, and without any context (or humor), take them as fact. Which is how the Gaming Urban Legend article came about. Legal had a field day with that one; but I did get to cuss a lot in there. I had a quota to meet, you see. :)

Anyway, when you guys read the new article, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or whatever, please let me know.

ps: I'm an old fart now, so I probably can't keep up with all the wit, and whatnot. So go easy on me :)

Hey Derek, we have this thread and a few old closed ones that have followed every twist and turn in the epic development story that is Star Citizen so if there's any background to events you want we can probably provide it (with screenshots).

Glad to see you back on SA Mr Smart! Hopefully we can all enjoy the farce that is Star Citizen burning down together :)

Also for the record, I tried out Universal Combat for the first time just 2 days ago, and it's actually pretty cool. Yeah it's a bit rough around the edges, but I can tell it is supposed to be one of those super nerdy simulations (like those detailed jet fighter or tank sims, or those German work games) and not an arcade space shooter like Tie Fighter. Not something I would have been interested in when it came out, but awesome now that I can appreciate the detail. Keep up the good work!

I'm really curious - why do you need a legal team to review an article? Isn't that not only costly, but a bit bumptious?

Probably not all that costly just to review an article. What is costly are defamation or libel or slander suites or whatever.

It's because if there's any part of it that can be interpreted as defamation or something Derek Smart can get counter-sued or something.
