The whole account was created to harass Derek and people who think he has a point on twitter. So yah, pretty safe bet.

You seem to not understand that he speaks about himself in third person.
If anything it would be,
"He was right !" however his narcissism dictates the use of his surname so in effect the shortest you can make it is "Derek Smart was right!"

You want an accurate summation? He builds his own list of known alts, but doesn't de-duplicate it. He creates the bar, and fails to pass it.

Seriously, everything you need to know there.

Lesson learned.

Game isn't currently made, so the default status is that Derek was right.

The whole "3.0 is mindblowing" or whatever mindset is fascinating. It's garbage, 10 pounds of poo poo in a 5 pound bag with less content than any alpha I've ever been involved in.

Do they actually believe it is good? Are they lying to themselves to justify thousands spent on buggy trash? Are they paid shills? I seriously don't understand how anyone could think 3.0 is anything but utter poo poo.

There are two major factors in play here. One of them obvious, frequently stated; the other is subtle, understated, and vastly underestimated.

Factor 1: They are lying to themselves. It's an act of self-cheerleading, trying to convince themselves that not only are they not idiots who just got taken for a ride, but in fact they're quite keen, smart, and are now allowed to have tons of fun in exchange for being such excellent judges of character, i.e. giving money to a thief.

Factor 2: They are trying to will the game into existence. This is the thing I never hear mentioned, but it's a huge part of human group psychology. You see it in large sporting events. You see it in prayer meetings. You see it anywhere large groups of people gather to literally do nothing but talk/think something towards its goal. It makes them feel they're contributing to the eventuality they wish to see come to fruition.

It's the second factor that leads people into posting in every comment section of every web site they can find, it's what leads them into internet wars, and leads them into acting as White Knights on behalf of a multinational multimillion dollar corporation who stole hundreds of millions of dollars and has no plans to deliver anything in exchange.

It's somewhat mindboggling how Citizens are really willing to believe that a group of people on an obscure refund subreddit would be bother making fake video evidence to support their claims of refunds, yet CIG who is milking said Citizens for all their worth would somehow never make fake videos to bring in more money.
