I mean, let's all be honest:

Chris Roberts is an utterly incompetent mushmouth fucktard, and the game is garbage.

Full disclosure: I am a paid Derek Shill. I've spent tens of dollars on his games.

Anonymity is a terrible thing. Don't get me wrong -- I have strongly libertarian leanings, and really do believe that personal liberty and freedom require that we each have some level of control over our personal information. We should never be under mass surveillance. We should have the ability and right to live a quiet life where no one really knows we exist.

I say these things for a reason. People confuse the above concept with some sort of right to remain forever anonymous whilst throwing firebombs everywhere, sh*t-stirring and rabble-rousing for no other reason than they weren't good at sports or had poor social skills, or whatever excuse they come up with to justify behavior that appears in DSM-5 on a symptoms chart. The gamer community is probably one of the worst examples of this on the internet. I say this as a gamer, and member of that community.

In the wake of the missing blog, all I have seen is a bunch of negative posts on these forums, and continued accusations that Derek is engaging in outright criminal fraud.

In answer to these misanthropes, I ask a simple question: Did you even read the July 2015 blog? Did you see the ownage and understand the power it represented? I mean, are you serious? It boggles the mind to consider, but some of them might actually be ignorant enough to not understand that what we read was /revolutionary./ I do not use that word lightly, or without serious thought.

Yes. Revolutionary. Dreams are being fulfilled. Right now. By Derek. Revolutionary. Even if starcitizen is excellent (and I do not believe that will be the case,) Derek has led to the development of something /orders of magnitude/ beyond what anyone thought would be possible on a trolling scale. The vast majority of the naysayers began their journey of hatred towards Derek by claiming /what we all witnessed on Sunday is possible.

So, yeah. The powerpoint demo of SpaceFaceBook was crap. Those responsible need to understand they are demoing a product to idiots, not sitting down with businesspeople in a meeting room. The news that a hotly anticipated game is going to be delayed was hilarious -- but, then, basically EVERY GAME SCAM EVER MADE is funny. For God's sake, have some perspective.

And what do we see? A bunch of trolls in these forums, lobbing firebombs, and journalists driving clicks to their sites with 'DEREK SHART IS A POOPYHEAD!' headlines. It's pathetic. All of you involved, seek help now, your quality of life will improve after proper counseling.

Here's the thing. Despite the good news (and I want to poo poo on Squadron 42 as much as anyone,) what I saw was a collection of tweets that, when you consider they will all eventually be in the same blog, fills me with wonder, amazement, and excitement. Derek's /hate/ does that., Imagine what the actual blog is going to be like in 2-3 years when it is done?

This is not a short journey. This blog is probably 3 years from general release. So what? It's worth the wait.

Ok I'll take the bait.
All us Blog Readers have waited for over a year for answers on expectations of on delivery of a Huge E.L.E that due to repeated miscommunications we've been told to expect Soon™ for fortnight after fortnight.
With Derek repeatedly telling Blog Readers to expect to see something soon and then communicating that the blog would be withheld until more review by Legal is it any surprise that readers might get a little upset and start feeling that they're being treated like a baboon's balls?

This new tweet is great because it's supplies concise technical and gameplay reasons that informs blog readers of conditions that need to be met for the E.LE. rather than another Soon™ statement and rationalizations about arbitrarily holding back a blogs release to its backers.
It's all the "whining" blog readers have wanted for years as now we know that we shouldn't set our expectations sooner than late 2017 and likely into 2018.

He may have been more willing if CitizenCon turned out good.

Right now there's a fire surrounding CIG in the name of backers starting to realize they're getting hosed sideways with a space ship shaped brick.

Wait to see how that goes, once it dies down, then throw in Derek's hellfire of blogosphere attacks.

Ultimately though CIG is going to do themselves in. :)

You clearly don't understand fashion development.

Seriouspost, that poo poo was very on trend three or four years ago but has now been ripped off by every crappy sweatshop so it is dog meat at this point. I don't know whether Sandi's is an old Nina Ricci or See by Chloe from her closet, or from a second-hand shop, or from some ripoff vendor.

Like why do they want all these planets, they'll never be able to visit/explore them all- especially if you're spending your time drilling individual holes.

And why would you want to be a lowly crew member on someone else's asteroid mining expedition.

It makes sense if you take the view that every Shitizen wants their own planet. It's a weird thing because they want this big online game, but they don't actually want to interact with anyone else, i.e B'tak.

Look, man, I pledged all of my disposable poo poo posts to the thread so I could get the best blog posts possible. If Derek and Legal need the time to make this the most amazing blog post ever, I, for one, am willing to wait. I don't want any shallow derivative post like the bloggers out there create, I want the miracle Derek can create.
