It is right and proper that people get smacked down for talking poo poo to their betters imo. Plus they really have tried to harass the man as far as I can tell. It's overall a good thing that people start getting it in their heads that your actions on the internet have consequences. Things like this happening will drive that point home.

Going after CIG is weird enough but now that he's going after some random reddit schmucks it's downright creepy.

I kinda live my internet life by "look don't touch", let these idiots have their fun running around playing pretend spaceships and just laugh at them from a distance. If they want to let themselves get scammed out of thousands of dollars that's their problem.

The quality of SC does show in the way they're fostering (festering?) their toxic community and allowing them to speak for them, possibly even setting goals for the devs.

When Chris Roberts rides off into the sunset with a suitcase of money and a new 20 year old intern by his side, there's a not insignificant chance it has a chilling effect on crowd funding in general, if not lead to some AGs in the US making a lot of noise about it.

Also all of this poo poo is a result of the big funny story (Derek Smart trying to shut down CIG) so at least it's all sort of related to the same subject. It's not like all the drama is just targeting random people on the internet. It's literally CIG true believers trying to shut down the man trying to shut down their church.

You'd have thought this would have come up when we made him a mod of his own subforum or created gang tags for him but now he's just being the same ridiculously litigious dude we've known he was for the last decade and we're all like "wowwww there mister hang on a second I didn't sign up for this".

It's natural to use the Reddit shitlers inane posts to help mock the community they're so ardently defending though.

Edit - Oh, you meant suing people for the poo poo they're doing. Meh.

Yeah, it is going to seriously damage crowd funding. At the very least it will gently caress it up for has-beens like CRoberts who haven't made a game in over a decade and big projects with a 'vision'. You'll probably need a lot more proof and reassurances to pull it off now. Both of these things I am fine with.

They probably won't be financially ruined but the plan to 'destroy' Derek Smart is idiotic. You couldn't even do it. You would have to find people he works with/hires or industry people he knows and rant at them 'Derek Smart is a big poopy meanie head rear end in a top hat!' Obviously no one would give a poo poo, because Derek Smart has been around for awhile and people probably formed their own judgments by now. You could tell them that he is trying to ruin a dream game and is no friend to gamers, but again, they wouldn't care. You can't make him exit the industry, because he owns his own company and produces his own games. You'd have to devote your life to trying to convince people not to work for him. Assuming the stars aligned and you made the right human sacrifices and no one works with Derek Smart, he will just make the loving thing himself anyway.

So what's the point? He's known for being highly litigious and even if it is rare he sues you, why bother with the risk? You're not going to be able to do anything about Derek Smart unless you do it illegally (and then he would definitely sue you). And all of this is because he badmouthed your internet starship jpeg simulator. Holy loving poo poo, its the worst goddamn gaming community on this loving planet.
