I think it's a CIG plan to get the top orgs to compete in creating new fake Citizen accounts to get or stay in the top ten. The result should be similar to the referral system.

With every dollar spent on SC being equal to 4 dollars at a scrub tier studio it's by far the most expensive game ever attempted. Thank you for reading.

I want to touch on this momentarily because I was thinking about it the other day.

CIG has, what, something like 400 employees, with additional ex-employees and contractors, some of whom have obviously left on not-the-best terms. In a company like that, leaks are effectively inevitable. Surely even the most devoted of SC backers have, at some point, been stuck at or fired from a job where they hated the higher-ups and would have loved to gotten revenge; if there was a dude with a sandwich board outside yelling about how terrible the place they worked at is, isn't it understandable to want to slip them some inside information under the table to stick it to the man?

So with that in mind, we turn to the fact that Derek's public pronouncements when he claims to have an inside source are pretty consistently incorrect. Derek says CIG is closing a studio-- CIG keeps the studio open. Derek says CIG is naming a ship one thing, CIG names the ship another thing (with an amusing side trip to the Aegis Potato, but that's neither here nor there). Derek says they're going to show one thing at a show, CIG has a buggy-rear end presentation about another thing that's strangely shorter than you'd expect for something planned so far in advance.

So there's two options:
- Derek is making up things wholesale, nobody would ever talk to him, and unlike literally any other company in existence, everything is absolutely perfect in CIG land and there are no current or ex employees who would ever leak information to a vocal and very visible company antagonist.

- There are actually people leaking to Derek.

And if the latter is the case, if any (not all, not even most, just any) of the information that's been leaked to him was accurate, publicly stated by him and turned out to be wrong, that means CIG is intentionally making modifications to their roadmap to for the sole purpose of spiting an internet blogger. That's way more than any of the hosed up presentations or missed deadlines, in my book. If you're running your company and changing the entire roadmap for the sole purpose of "making an internet forum poster look bad", nobody should be trusting you to run a McDonalds drivethrough, let alone a $156 million dollar development effort.

tl;dr: People blaming Derek Smart for ruining Star Citizen may be closer to a sickening and heartbreaking truth than they realize.

Also consider that when they called me out in the media - during which they lied - after I wrote a blog, then croberts subsequently wrote an entire diatribe with me as the focus, I think it stands to reason that they (by way of Chris, Sandi, Ortwin), made it personal. So, seeing as they know that there are people talking to me, and that there are public people reading my writings, I see how they would do everything they can to thwart and discredit me.

I think my 3.0 revelations since last year, hit them harder than most, since it was 100% on the money.

Just wait, the worst is yet to come, and I am still waiting the "all clear" before I commit it to writing. It's completely unprecedented and is the final phase in the E.L.E.

They didn't complain � after all, you're The Boss� kind of� � but it could trigger a couple of special scenes and affect how animals and enemies would react to you. It might have had some effect on morale as they �complained behind your back�, but I don't quite remember either.

I actually wrote a big post about your original comment where you first said this, but erased it because I didn't feel like dragging it out more and maybe nobody else would notice it and I was just being over sensitive.

Though I hope you understand when you use words like this, it's not just singly directed at your target, but a lot of people will be offended by it, both people who support you and those who don't. It's really just not a thing worth trying to continue. We can all pick on Star Citizen without bringing up topics that offend a great deal of people.

Anyhow that's my take on it. I hope we can just pick on Star Citizen in peace without insulting large groups of people.

CIG devs on the forum, I don't think anybody blames you for the poo poo functionality of your game, though I hope you are working towards an actual game instead of "the next scam demo to get money".

If you're knowingly doing that, I hope you see that it's not cool and just get a new job.

And if you're not, I hope you get a new job. You may have talent but it'll never come to pass underneath CR, which I know you're probably very cognizant of at this point.

I'm sorry you guys have to be on the inside of this poo poo. It's funny for us to laugh at and be shocked at, but it's an entirely different situation when you're working under these conditions. I've been there and done that and felt horrible and crushed and hopeless, too.

Ultimately though you lead your own destiny, and you're never "stuck" anywhere so long as you don't give up. Don't let some washed up chump fill your head with a failure complex. Do what's right and best for you and your family.

CIG devs reading this forum; you loving cowards. Just LEAK ALL THE THINGS. it's a crowd-funded project, thus qualifies it as being in the "public interest". CIG can't do poo poo about it if you leak all the bullshit that's going on. Just stay away from the following "media" publications: ALL of them. Especially PC Gamer! If you must, go to the fringe ones who aren't in the CIG or Swofford pockets. e.g. Kotaku, Kotaku UK, PC Invasion, Forbes (gaming).
