who the gently caress is warcrimes

Imagine a dim Octopode on a caffeine high, he used to post in the Star Citizen threads a lot and would freak the gently caress out at any criticism, post something stupid and then if anyone replied to him he'd say "nice meltdown". He was funny in a really stupid way and I miss him.

In amongst the mentally ill SC backers there are still some people who just genuinely believe SC is going to be a real game. Before the house of cards comes tumbling down, those people will realise what's happening and start to make a fuss.

I read a making-of about that game a few years ago. If I remember it correctly, it was a small, inexperienced team behind it... but one of them knew 3D Studio MAX and the publisher decided to basically pin vast amounts of marketing expense upon it purely for that reason.

That was also a nice "lessons learnt" for kid me regarding the gaming press. So many articles in magazines hyping that game up as The Game Which Will Redefine The Industry.

Coincidentally Start Citizen will also redefine the industry and has a bunch of people who are good with 3DS Max.

Chris don't give up too easily and follow every urge
Loose your wallet and please continue to splurge
Star Citizen; it might be what you got so won't you give it a shot?

So you start off with a name and you know it won't be lame
The fans keep on demanding and you ain't got a game
Your boss is coming down on you and you can't pay the team and then
Back into crowdfunding again

Star Citizen has got you beaten, battered, cruised
You have an alpha, now it's two
Chris Roberts, he took you down a notch - so won't you give it a shot?

You're always under pressure, it's harder to QA when
You wake up and you realize that you still don't have a game
You can't go back to work and now you know just who to blame, ain't it a shame
Derek's causing trouble again

Chris Roberts, I know you tried to cut him loose
But Derek is still a part of you
Think you lost him but it ain't exactly showing
Got you by the blog and now there ain't no way of knowing
Pretend you can't get sued but you know just where it's going
Derek has got you standing on the brink

And now you get no work done and you don't have a buck
You show up to the office and you don't give a gently caress
Your inverstor's coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then
Push back the release again

every day I keep coming back
I write about the everything and the everyone
about the fat, the bitch and the crazy

every day I hope something happens
sitting here, wanting excitement
with fierce resolution
smelling my own farts

I campaign against the evil, the unjust and the uppsala mafia
I confront the reality of their illusionist act

my own failures and problems teach me to be
a champion of truth and sincerity
a spy, a lawyer, an accountant, a doctor,
a goon knight

Do you think maybe you could start showing us some clips that are in the game and less than a year old? Or, release the game? That would also be acceptable.

Why are you so angry at this game? I realize everything isn't always all bleeding edge, and there are occasional missteps, but everything you say about the game is just angry and mean, like you don't like it or the devs at all.

I mean, I'm a pretty far cry from a white knight and have been dos voted more than once on my opinion of some features, etc. of the game, but you're coming off legitimately hateful.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong and you've been having a really bad day/month/year or something, I dunno. Whatever it is, I hope you find the thing to make you happy.

Remember, you are not a salmon
So I had never heard of this game before I got involved with a gaming community (playing another game) and two of the guys there started talking to me about this game, this star citizen which was the "last hope of pc gaming" they were evangelical about it and further discussion lead to them telling me they had spent $5000 between them on "ships". I was of course quite sceptical about this (around July time) and started looking in to it realised CR was involved shrugged my shoulders and my response was "ill buy it when it comes out".

When the last thread popped up I thought it was interesting and as these guys were both pretty decent reasonable guys I thought they might want a heads up, well since I linked them the thread and they discovered im a goon they haven't talked to me in about a month now (from daily conversations teamspeak). It seems as if there is almost cult developed amongst many backers who refuse to believe in anything bar CIG and Chris Roberts its almost Scientology like at this point and its sad to see quite reasonable people sucked into this bullshit.

I have gone from fairly uninterested in the game to actively wanting to see it crash and burn now, cults are dangerous and people like Chris Roberts and his teams ability to convince people to keep throwing thousands of dollars at the game while sojourning all common sense and reason needs to be stopped.

In short Derek Smart is not the hero we deserve but the hero we need and I for one am rooting for him all the way.

So, in closing, it comes as no surprise to me that we have seen as of late the appearance of these articles from corrupted journalism outlets like The Escapist and Yahoo, trying to discredit and plant a bad seed within the community. Trying to bring down the project. Who do you think funds these publications? Do you think they get their money solely from advertising? They are pens for hire my friends, willing to push the agenda of the highest bidder. All the media operates this way.

Think about it, and take these articles with a grain of salt.
