Please let this turn into a siege. Croberts and wife are desperately trying to open the vault in the basement and can't because Chris changed the access code in a cocaine-fuelled fit of arm-waving. Derek Smart is crawling through the vents, muttering promises to say "Yippee-ki-ay, motherfucker" in two weeks time. The police try to break into the building with an armoured car, only to be foiled by Lando and Money rolling Ben out of a window, crushing the APC.

Derek's game getting pulled from Steam is like that smarmy business negotiator getting shot, right?

Derek pulled his own game from Steam. Apparently he was tired of dealing with troll reviews.

The article I read had a tongue in cheek dig on it though.

Oh yeah for sure. I guess the way I saw it was SC backers who are all lovely and dumb trolled the game off of steam, which is kind of a win for CR and SC sort of, and since they're both the bad guy in the scenario. IT MADE SENSE IN MY HEAD god drat.

Yeah I guess the game got like vote-bombed or something and people were just filling the comments section with personal attacks. I guess they didn't notice that the game wasn't titled "Derek Smart's Line of Defense" and just went all in on making GBS threads on the work of many people to spite the one.

Yep, and the resulting maxi-pad shaped bounding box of the vjoy also scales with resolution. The resulting horrid state of mouse's ability to use fixed weapons is also the prime mover for the hosed up flight model and retarded controls implementations across the board.

I think that's a consequence of using Scaleform, combined with the fact they distort the UI to simulate the visor shape.

Which, by the way, is daft as gently caress, because WHY would the HUD be projected curved/distorted instead of corrected for the curvature of the visor and harder to read?!
WTF? Who's the bright mind that thought that makes RL sense?
