Madcosby posted:Chris' response is to call the Escapist another D Smart mouth, then to try to diminish D Smart, then try to call the escapist author a gamergater (I dont know what that means) It is so hilariously dumb to call any escapist author a gamergater. They were so completely on the SJW side of things that it just shows how little CR knows.

I really love the cognitive dissonance of Croberts and fans saying "This has to be written by DS because its exactly what DS has been saying!" and not seeing the more obvious explanation that the employees who talked to DS were the same sources for the escapist interview and glassdoor reviews.

Messiah Roberts:quote:I would like to point out that ever since I got your email from David I have been working on this response. I worked on this until 5am last night, and a couple more hours this morning in the UK, where I am currently am in preparation for CitizenCon in a week from Saturday. Conservatively it’s taken me about eight hours to write. This is time I could have spent working on the game instead of dealing with a Derek Smart instigated drama. And this is really what annoys me – that his silly rantings occasionally gain traction and pull me away from the very thing I prefer to do and the very thing everyone wants me to do and the very thing Derek Smart accuses me of not doing – FINISHING THE GAME! DS is the one ruining the game not me

His collection of "insane things D_Smart has said" is pretty great though.quote:We are not afraid of Derek Smart. We have nothing to hide and are very confident in our ability to defend ourselves against anything he may try to bring. But my bet is he won’t – he’s full of hyperbole. He claims he’s made over $200M in royalties from his games as recently as a week ago (I don’t think I have to go into why this is a complete lie). He also says frequently that he’s worth over $100M, or that he has two PhDs, or that back in July he was taking out a full page ad in The New York Times to expose us.

CR finally admits that Sandi is his wifequote:This is directed at a self-avowed feminist. Meantime, Bandit@istheguy is the very same person who started attacking Star Citizen on the day before your reporter wrote her article, tweeting about two people we parted ways with, then following up by retweeting the Escapist article and people who mentioned it…and then finally ending up by doxing myself, my wife and one of my daughters with this sequence of tweets.

wow CR is MAD. Also he just goes on the offense right away and doesn't offer any sort of proof against the accusations which he can easily provide. I think it's over. Even the people holding onto their $30 ships, it's over.

3/4ths of the way through CR's response and he still hasn't refuted any of the provable allegations, like them funding Turbulent's project. Edit: Oh wait here it is. "The Chairman posted:CR: The opposite is true. CIG benefited from pre-existing software that Turbulent had developed. Our JV with them allowed us access to cheaper rates and bound an important part of Star Citizen closer to CIG, which are both beneficial to CIG and the backers. Per our agreement Turbulent is of course free to offer their technology to other customers. So they had a crowdfunding platform sitting around?

I didn't read the rambling poo poo that CR probably typed with shaking fists and grinding his teeth in rage, but it does come off pretty petty and full of ad hominem bullshit, instead of any actual substantial proof that they are in fact lies.

The question I have: now that we have confirmation from the Chairman Messiah himself that Sandi is his wife, will he explain why he always wears a wedding band but she never does? Any guesses?

More from CR on how great his wife Sandi isquote:He constantly attacks Sandi Gardiner, accusing her of having no qualifications, or experience, that she had other people do her work for her and only has the Marketing position because she is my wife. That is incredibly ironic considering we are the most crowd funded project in history, that she wrote the marketing plan, and single handedly executed it when we were a tiny team – even today she’s the only dedicated marketing person at the company, for a game that has raised almost $90M for its development solely through viral marketing, word of mouth and PR. If you were going to criticize Star Citizen you certainly can fault us for taking longer than everyone wants, which would fall on the development side of the company but not marketing! The icing on the cake is that she has five degrees and speaks five languages, which I am willing to bet makes her a lot more qualified than Derek Smart is!

I'll CP the whole thing; I'm sure there's easier ways to do this but I'm a newb at this sort of thing, so bear with me. I just assume if CR has any sort of competent HR team (lol) that they'll take the response down since it's basically just a slap fest between him and alleged no-conern Derek Smart
