Ok, unless Chris is insane, can you imagine the stress he's enduring right now?

With all the talk about mis-management, his wife and kids, money being mis-used (or outright stolen), screwed up HR practices, lawsuits, refund requests, AND NO VISIBLE PROGRESS ON THE ACTUAL GAME.

I can only imagine he's operating of a couple of hours of sleep a day and is hell to be around right now (double that for his wife, Sandi).

The reversal of fortunes must be pretty bad too. When this thing started he was literally treated like a king wherever he went. Gifts were given, praise flowed freely, love and adulation. Now? It's all crashing down on him.

Yeah, I don't have pity for him. He brought this upon himself. Had they bothered to develop the skeleton of the original game and then iterated more out over months/years nobody would care if he never got it all done. The fact that they can't be hosed to even do that at this point is pretty damning, and his willingness to continue to sell more jpegs to fund his ridiculous idea just seals the deal in terms of his mindset. He has surrounded himself with a bunch of 'yes' people, he doesn't understand how development works, he doesn't have a real producer on the project that can actually reign in the stupidity, and he keeps selling jpegs to fund even more stupid ideas.

What I think he is saying is that he wont sell his ship in the RMT market but go for a full refund and account deletion. If he simply sold his ship, we could maybe get more money than what he put in the game.

This is coming from the worst game developer boss ever, you'd think it would lend credibility, but this guy legit thought spending $3 million on a lovely bus was a GOOD IDEA.

He can be the shittiest person ever and still be familiar with the field he works in. The bus or whatever you're talking about is clearly something he wasn't an expert at. But gaming is what he did/does and knows. So him chiming in does lend a lot of credibility to Crobizzle's disaster as opposed the the true believers thinking DSmart is behind everything like a puppet master.

Seeing him being hounded by the true believers after that tweet is also rather amusing.

I really like Gary Oldman. But, man, I really doubt that's working for a pat on the back and a high five. How far do you have to be sunk into a vanity project to contract out for names like that to act out your cutscenes between broken unworking game.

If ever there was a single decisive "no" moment it should have been that one.

But I'm just some rear end in a top hat on the internet what do I know. Whoop whoop whoop.
