Oh... So is that another confirmed "Derek Smart on a fake account" sighting?

Also, maybe someone should explain to her that liking SC isn't what makes them cult-like... Meh. Nevermind, it wouldn't sink. They'd just say "Derek? Is that you?"

My understanding is that the ELE could be months away but has begun. A few CIG devs are meant to leave today and I'm hoping Derek says how many and which studio, even if he doesn't want to individually name them.

Some of you have put more effort into tracking down the origins of Ryan 'Tracer' Archer's "art" than he did making it in the first place.

Pretty sure Derek posted that he won't be revealing the names, we had scour the linkedin pages ourselves.
I hope he does though.

Do you think Derek is some sort of comic book villain that would talk about something like this if there was any chance of CIG stopping him? E.L.E. day was 35 weeks ago, he blogged about it at the time.

Honestly I think it's reasonable to say that Star Citizen was always doomed as soon as Chris flailed his arms emphatically at the initial concept meeting.

The "Derek Smart and his cronies" mentality is part of what will accelerate the demise of Star Citizen. There are parties that are independently addressing the issues with CIG, and either have no idea who Derek Smart is, or wouldn't have heard of him if it hadn't been for Chris Roberts sending his insane missive all over the place. Dumpster fires are visible from more than one vantage point.

Archer should join the walkout. Even though he's on contract now.

Why does the shootman in the back have a weird fat arm with hosed up shoulder
Her right hand is fresh out of some early 90s early MS-DOS game by an edgy teenager with a pirated copy of Deluxe Paint. Has anyone checked if Ryan has traced off of Bloodlust Software yet?

The whole Archer thing is just amazing. What would normally happen if this was another company? Would he be fired and the stolen artwork removed from promotional material? I know CIG will likely just ignore the issue though.

Really, when you think about it, Ryan's work week must be amazing. Just a day or two lazily copy/pasting from Deviant Art, while spending the rest of the week looking busy and pretending that he is doing something. "Artwork is coming along nicely boss! Just a few more days and it will be done!"

I'd like to know what the other artists at CIG thing about this; there is no way that they don't know by now.

Yep it's on the roadmap. It'll come with the multiplayer update, which is after I get a stable, playable 0.1.0 build out (getting pretty close). Basically, you'll be able to set your callsign in options.

Well, to be fair, I think he does do the layouts for the texts etc too so I guess that's something? But for the artwork, and this coming from someone who hasn't worked in the industry, I don't know how anyone could approve shoddy work like that. Either he doesn't have superiors approving the work or they just don't care/might just be blind. It does seem fairly odd because it's like bad fan-art, so how does it get approved in a company that's all about fidelity.

I'm sure the actual artists at CIG holding their heads as much as we are.

There was a kerfuffle recently where a painting in an Uncharted 4 trailer was discovered to be a piece of concept art from Assassin's Creed 4. Naughty Dog released a statement taking full responsibility for not vetting the artwork enough before releasing the trailer, apologized to Ubisoft and re-released the trailer with replacement artwork. No word on what happened to anyone responsible, but that's the closest and most recent example I can think of.
