I'm looking at the escapist's podcast and article right now and the comments are so full of cultists it's amazing. Every single one of them has their fingers in their ears screaming LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU as they furiously lash out at anyone who tries to tell them they're on a sinking ship. And the water is up to their knees. And the water is their own piss.

e; Plus, once the ship has finally sunk and Croberts has buggered off to El Salvador with the last couple of million or whatever, they'll all say this only happened because of meanies like The Escapist who ruined the glorious new era of gaming and killed our savior!

No, that's thatguy. I specialize in maritime law; but really, it's similar enough to space law.

Edit: But there's no legally recognized definition of where the edge of space is, so one has to wonder how to determine, legally, if you're even IN space court.

To be fair, this is exactly what legacy game industry has-beens rely on. Once upon a time, they had limited involvement in some hit game and now, 20 years later, they want all your money to make their new masterpiece come to life. It will be a major slap in the face to the AAA industry, will redefine video games for decades to come and offer an unrivalled experience to the true believers... Kickstarter campaigns cashing in on pure nostalgia aren't new but Chris Roberts &co managed to take it to astronomical levels.

What bothers me is that the catastrophic Star Citizen failure will put a massive dent in crowdsourcing for a fairly long time: people will be reluctant to trust even developers with established pedigrees and actual cool things to show. There are some excellent things to come from video game Kickstarter campaigns, such as the CRPG renaissance, so I'd hate to see all of that gone just because some guy whose last game was in 2001 decided to prey on gullible nerds.

Chris Roberts showing a 10-hole lunch poke card then jokingly pointing out it's not proof of employment
A black person, led, on stage. Will raise embraced hands with Chris and Sandi on-stage
Four or 5 "accidental" leaks of Escapist employees personal information in powerpoint presentations

Ugh. I will hate if this whole thing goes even further into a public airing of marriage woes. That's an ugly sideshow, it's embarrassing for the kids, and the real story is the financial mess.

How much of this would've been avoided if she'd just used the name Sandi Roberts instead of trying to pretend she wasn't his wife, coercing employees to tow an unnecessary lie of omission, and thereby giving Derek Smart another thread on the sweater to start pulling on?

CIG needs to hire a crisis PR person like yesterday- a REAL one, the sort who can say "stop doing this bullshit you are only making it worse" to Chris, Ortwin and Sandi without fear of being fired, berated as "retarded", or told they have no balls. This would be the single wisest investment of backer funds in the world right now, short of buying a luxury villa with a defensible perimeter in some South American banana republic that ignores extradition requests.

this ^ IMO, CRs response was the single biggest PR blunder in gaming history. Ortwin's was the second biggest. And, it all seems to have one main theme, a total meltdown over things said about Sandi.
