There's two choices and it's obvious to me which is going to turn out be correct. I really do hope he writes a book after CIG goes bust as I'm sure there's more and it's worse.

If his book is anything like his blogs I am not going to be reading it. I think I'd read the Simarillion.

This is a binary choice.

1> Either Derek is full of poo poo and doesn't have sources. Or 2> He does/did have sources and hence, actually knows stuff.

Now if it's 1, it difficult to explain how he knew about Star Marine I being binned 6+ months before Chris Roberts confirmed it. It's also difficult to explain how he knew about the firings/leavings last year immediately after they happened, the dispute with the contractor at CIG LA, the 20k coffee machine plus a pile of other stupid stuff.

Now maybe you could be like moma and think anyone at CIG who was leaking stuff to him has left. Personally I think that's dumb as hell because if it was stressful/annoying enough to leak poo poo over Star Marine I fuckups, I can't imagine it's less stressful/annoying now with them trying to get Star Marine II out the door in less time. But it's worth remembering that The Escapist said "seven ex-employees and two current employees" contacted them when they wrote their hit piece and they explained in detail how they verified them.

Now Citizens will brush The Escapist to one side with a load of crap about keycards etc, but if you're in the game industry I don't think it's a stretch to assume you don't actually want to be identified while moaning about what a horrible bunch of gobshites employed you. I also see no reason for The Escapist to just suddenly go after CIG as strongly as they did out of the blue and to then go one step further by refusing to back down in the face of a legal threat.

I started from the position of being cynical of Derek's claims in July 2015 and always try to independently verify things he's said, I've managed to do this a few times.

To understand why he appears to be blue balling everyone, I think you need to factor in that he's said there's stuff he just can't talk about for legal reasons, stuff he can't prove, things he can't say because it would potentially reveal sources and stuff he's told that sometimes turns out to be wrong (some of which will be CIG management changing their minds, some just wrong). Also, sure he likes trolling but if I was absolutely sure of something, 100% certain, I'd be trolling shitizens who'd setup a hate subreddit in my name too plus people here who constantly whine about him, because why the hell not?

There's two choices and it's obvious to me which is going to turn out be correct. I really do hope he writes a book after CIG goes bust as I'm sure there's more and it's worse.

I dunno how both you and derek fit up his rear end. It doesn't take nostradamus to guess that CIG is going to miss a deadline.

This is going to be beyond embarrassing. Every stereotype of boot camp is going to be loaded into this star marine sizzler, to the point of even the audience unaware of what boot camp is, collectively eye-rolling at the cliche'dness of it all.

Lando has always been relatively sensible. So staying away from the official forums seems a natural extension of this.

All that may be fine and true , but if he can't release info because of whatever reason , why even bother starting the dialogue

My guess is that he's not starting a dialogue - he's getting his predictions out there, to the public, with timestamps, because when this collapses and all the poo poo floats to the surface, he'll have a huge archive of material that can be cross-referenced with the newly surfaced facts. They'll either match up with what he's been saying all along, or not. Either way it goes it'll be funny as poo poo, but for very different reasons.

All I want for christmas livestream is for chris to play star marine.

He gets ganked over and over and he bitches about some minor UI feature for several minutes while his character is stimpiring everywhere. Someone tries to Tbag the corpse but when they crouch they clip through the level and crash the server.

I'm voting for opening mission of Sq42. You're the rookie straight out of basic training who needs to learn the controls while the drill sergeant yells at you to...

"Pick up that rifle"
"Shoot those targets"
"You'll have to do better than that against the Vanduul!"
"Now take cover"
"Okay, that's it for now commando, now go find Pusher"[fade out]

Unless it's keeping shaved high and tight for Sandi.

With heavy use of mo-cap to capture the Drill Sergeant's complex range of movement as he stands dead still and shout "Maggots" at a line up of '_no-clip=true (_classname == "retarded whale");' avatars that are stimpiring all over the place.

Which would be fantastic because I remember crobberts talking about the opening to SQ42 a long time ago, about how you're a militia pilot in a system that gets hosed up by the KILL WRATH EES and then you have to go on a big adventure, and they're just gonna do a shot for shot remake of the Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault boot camp level.
