Yeah, I don't have pity for him. He brought this upon himself. Had they bothered to develop the skeleton of the original game and then iterated more out over months/years nobody would care if he never got it all done. The fact that they can't be hosed to even do that at this point is pretty damning, and his willingness to continue to sell more jpegs to fund his ridiculous idea just seals the deal in terms of his mindset. He has surrounded himself with a bunch of 'yes' people, he doesn't understand how development works, he doesn't have a real producer on the project that can actually reign in the stupidity, and he keeps selling jpegs to fund even more stupid ideas.

This is completely impossible when you keep throwing out and redoing all your work every few months.

I suppose you could just ask us. Fellow goons, what's wrong with us? Are we blind to the beauty of star citizen in its current alpha state? Did you not see amazing technique that is grabby hands, where a person could flip a coin (only if that coin's diameter is as large as his thumb)!!! Did you not see the star citizen cliimb the ladder so perfectly? Not even Link for Ocarina of Time could climb that well (he always had terrible posture). Tell me goons, what's wrong with us. Why are we not seeing Star Citizen for what it is? Is it not Martin Luther King who expounds upon having a dream that millions of Americans wished to invest in and make true? Is Christ Roberts not doing the exact same thing, but with Star Citizen?

No, it validates that he got one piece of information that is under much less security than something like financials. Getting a modeler drunk and having him talk about how he's working on the new ship for CitCon doesn't mean everything else you're saying isn't made up.

Not that I don't believe he's right, but come on. This was hardly a genius plan.

You're the only person holding it to the standard of validating everything Smart has claimed. It would show he has internal information about the citizencon reveal. Nothing more nothing less.

I'm not holding it to any standard. I'm just pointing out that him having internal information about the reveal doesn't hurt CIG in any way. Actually, this will probably just drum up more press for them that doesn't involve CR writing legal threats, which can only be a good thing. I don't see what incentive they have to change it.

Knowing CIG, it would take them two weeks to change the name of the ship on their slides, so yeah, I doubt that they will change it.

And the website, and their email blasts, and maybe even the assets.

You know if they tried they would miss one. Somewhere in the source code of the website would be a reference to it. And the spergs would find it. They always do.

Just coming out and saying "yeah you were right" looks less bad than if they did a half-assed attempt at covering it up.

No amount of insider information could ever prove this. It's Derek loving Smart (no offense, dude, but you're not exactly known for your legendary credibility).
