Derek, in your opinion, how solid is the info from the escapist article? Did the escapist work with you / have contact with you about this issue?

From my sources, most of what she wrote, I was already aware of. Some I wasn't.

I will let the author speak for herself

Derek, if Chris Roberts finally caved and said he would step down as Chairman ONLY if you swore to never wear earrings again for the rest of your life, would you make the sacrifice for the greater good of gaming?

Reading all her answers to people's vapid questioning I feel like she's more and more credible.

Example: two other sources couldn't be verified with enough confidence so they were not mentioned.

At one point I was laughing at Mr. Smart.

At this point, I'm really not- I'm pretty glad that somebody stepped up to make these accusations. If they're all true, then we needed to hear it. If not, then CIG will be better off for having negotiated through the doubts. (They're totally all true).

Something tells me Derek Smart has those already...

He's got this.

Seriously-- considering the unalloyed anger of some of those Escapist sources, I wouldn't be surprised if damning emails (or equally damaging stuff) really do surface.

If just one of them gets out, well, we've got ourselves a
situation.

EDIT: While I was trying to get that stupid movie poster image in on my phone, Derek Smart showed up in thread and confirmed as much. Because he's got this.

Do you have real hard evidence of monetary malfeasance? Not just employee speculation. Real, hard, incontrovertible evidence?

You should also check out the UK accounts stuff posted earlier in the thread.

Quick update please for someone who hasn't really been following that closely.

A long time ago I bought whatever the original kickstarter thing was that was just the game and no extra space ships. $40 or something like that?

Are the people getting refunds now the folks who spent extra money on pictures of space ships, or are folks bailing on the game altogether?

Is it looking like the whole thing is going to get cancelled eventually? Or just come out with some form of game with 10% of the promised features way down the line?

Willing to keep my money in if there's some sort of space pew pew product eventually, but I'll eject at this point if it looks like the writings on the wall.
