It's spread out across a series of blogs offered below in chrono order. The most recent one is a synopsis.

This is a TL;DR version.

So basically what you're saying is that if you... YOU, Derek Smart (whoever the gently caress you are), if YOU can not build Star Citizen then NOBODY can.

You spent 25 years trying to build this game (which explains why you now sound so utterly insane) and you failed so miserably that now you're on a one man crusade attempting to bitterly denounce a developer who may now be realising YOUR dream and proving that it can in fact be done, thus making you... Derek Smart (along with your games), look like a steaming pile of dogshit.

How much do you have invested citizen?

£0.00

I am drawing my own conclusions from an entirely neutral perspective, I read Derek's blog / articles, I've heard what he has to say, and the only fitting conclusion I can draw from his points is written in the post you quoted me on. That's not me trolling, that's not me being a SC jpeg addict, that's not me being in a bad mood, it's my absolute natural response to reading Derek's attention-seeking rants.

I'm wondering why he chose SA as a platform for his whining?

He talks about the whole situation as if he genuinely believes he has bucket loads of credibility, self-glorifying himself to be some sort of master developer within the genre, his games are feces and he is delusional to consider himself a credible source of intelligence on the matter.

To be fair if Star Citizen is actually a scam then it's a pretty good scam right? If I could scam the world for $50mil and get away with it then I'd do exactly that without a shadow of second thought.

I take it you must be pretty good at some form of martial art then? Because if you kick in a standing fight, and you're not a martial artist / trained to kick a standing opponent... you are probably going to find yourself on the floor with somebody pointing a camera at you screaming "world star" having just recorded you kicking somebody in the knee (aiming for the head).

The thing that pisses me off the most about Star Citizen is not the fact thait might be a scam, may never exists and it may be impossible to create.

What pisses me off most are the cringey pussified carebears begging for a PvE game, "please don't put the best loot in lawless areas", "please don't make me do PvP", "please don't allow griefers to exist", "I don't want to have to use my brain to defend myself", "I don't want lose my ship". I loving hate these little cock suckers, a new MMORPG gets announced and they flood into the community from WoW, GW2, SWTOR and highsec... Demanding that the game be REdesigned in favour of their own pussified playstyle due to their false sense of entitlement to not be repeatedly smashed to loving pieces in-game.

Realtalk, how much money do you think crobberts, his brother, sandi and whowever else has siphoned off from this project so far?

I've gotta believe at least 70% has gone to things other than development, mocap and Restoration HardwareTM purchases.

They can't have spent more than 35 million even with the clusterfuck management so far.

Who really gives a poo poo, you are a spastic to believe that if you head a $100mil company which brings in over $2mil/month that every single penny should go towards development and the people of the company should live their personal lives on the absolute loving minimum, it's people like you who expect Chris to be eating beans on toast every day because the extra money it would cost to eat steak is strictly for game development only, you are DELUSIONAL!

Croberts is the chairman of a $100mil+ company, are you really so loving surprised that he is driving around in a Ferrari and living in a mansion? Think about it, and I'm sure if you had created such a company you would be doing the same. "Hey guys we got another 1.5mil in pledges this month, hookers and blow for everybody!"

Derek Smart's criticism and accusations were just proven credible by one Sandi Gardiner. How does this make you feel?

Are you a farm animal? Is that why tyour meltdown started? Tell us how Derek touched your butthole and all will be forgiven, this is a p safe space for you

You don't need to read into Derek's accusations, all you need to do is look at his motives and then all credibility gets sucked out into the vacuum of space.

To cut a long story short: Derek claims he has been trying to create Star Citizen for 25 years, and has been failing miserably for 25 years... only now Derek has to observe a competitor succeeding way beyond his very own wildest dreams, thus Derek is PISSED.

He believed he had talent, he believed he had the ability to create something great, and when he failed he had so much (delusion) self confidence that he deemed it impossible, he told himself - "if I can't do it, nobody can", and then he looked at what CIG is doing, and shat himself. The End.

You're speaking as if the Star Citizen project is already dead and buried, do you not realise that the game is still being actively funded and developed every day, I don't necessarily support the game or the company - I can see how it would appear that way, but I'm sticking to facts.

Okay, but how do you feel about Star Citizen?

I'm not entirely sure, I'm leaning towards calling bullshit on most of the conspiracy purely because... Conspiracy is conspiracy, there is no "proven evidence" for the accusations, only speculation.

I think the game and it's features were announced way too soon (when the game was a mere concept), obviously it had to be that way in order to get funded, but this may have resulted in CIG biting off way more than they can chew, I'm not sure it's even possible to develop what has been promised, and if it is then CIG is way way WAY behind schedule, and knowing the gaming industry as it is then I think it's safer to expect disappointment, BUT...

IF at the end of the tunnel Star Citizen does turn out to be what was promised, as late as it may be, it will be a loving revolutionary masterpiece within the gaming industry and will be HUGELY successful, the concept of Star Citizen is undeniably mouth-watering and if we as gamers want to have an amazing gaming experience then we want that concept to become a reality, BUT...

It probably won't and we will all be left disappointed, as per usual.
