Derek, just consider this: Most adults in this world, including important decision makers, judges etc. do not see videogames and posts on the internet as a serious thing. On the other hand everybody is really quick when it comes to pass judgement on a situation involving a "fight" between a non-disabled and a disabled person. You can't win this. Even calling his dad will be construed into "an adult who should know better going after a poor handicapped child over something silly on the internet". Actually if he called the media (yellow press counts as media) they would eat it up and publish it like mad. And nobody will be interested in what you have to say about it. Especially when it includes "on the internet", "Twitter" and "videogame". Your image in the public eye will suffer and it will hurt your cause. To put it bluntly: thanks to being a cripple, he automatically has the trump card, like it or not, that's s how it works. "Don't treat us differently" really means "except for the special bonus when we gently caress up", the kid is not stupid he can use this against you. Don't give him ammo. I do think you are right in criticizing SC, don't ruin your chances of being taken serious by the people who matter once this goes to court by going after this kid.

This downvoting serves the creation of an echo chamber quite well and supports extreme behaviour as only those supporting it will be read. Plus I have a feeling most people in this thread don't actually take all this serious, at least not after they got their money out via refund.

Enchanted Hat posted:How can a loving auditor be gullible enough to also be a SC whale? I guess it explains why he grew up to be such a weird sperg, tho. I am not surprised. In my experience, a lot of auditors are assholes who always have to be right. They usually go into companies and point fingers going "you done hosed up son" and then "suggesting" i.e. telling people how to do it right. In private social situations, when they don't get what they want and/or are not right in any context and you tell them, they will lash out and fight to the bitter end to be right. In this case, an rear end in a top hat who can't admit to be wrong bought jpegs from a scammer. Instead of admitting it, he will fight to the bitter end to make it seem as if he was right all along by any means necessary.

Better be worth it, with actual real information this time. Clearly the blog hinges on it being NOVEMBER,... something something original TOS (I did not understand that legalese). And Tuesday probably because of some stuff that must first be done on Monday before the blog is published, something for which it must be Novemeber and Monday is the 2nd and therefore the first working day of November when you can file poo poo and stuff.

That seems like a massive shift this late in the game. Wait what? I thought it was Wing Commander 2.0.

Karl_Ramseier posted:The FPS module isn't cancelled it's delayed and the office (not the real estate) isn't closing. The former was discussed before Derek even thought of it and the latter is just exaggerating. Alright Karl, I respect your decision to back Star Citizen and to try and convince us CIG is doing the right things. I have a serious question I would like you to answer though, and it is a question aside from all the rumors and speculations of money running out issues and other poo poo, let's forget about all that. What do you think are valid reasons why CIG would move away from Austin and switching to offices in California, a state with apparently higher taxes, higher costs for basically everything and choosing the most expensive part of LA for it? It simply makes no sense. Erin and Foundry 42 being in Europe I can understand, not least because of tax benefits. The Crytek guys in Frankfurt because they would not relocate to the US is a no brainer, including green card issues. But the move form Austin to LA? I do not not see any valid buisness/development reason for it, especially since they don't sell a tangible product for which they need a flagship store. And even of this would be better to have in Austin, a city known for its amount of software companys and prone totherefore see more potential investors/clients from the industry dropping by. Instead they move away from a town that apparently offers what software developers need as shown by the large number of studios there and into more expensive LA, which as far as I know is not known for the games industry but the movie industry. The one factor I could see, is the mocap studio they use, but that is Serkis's, which is in the UK. Not matter whether they spend backer money or investor money on this move. I belive it was simply a wrong decision for which there are no reasons known to me that make any financial sense or sense in terms of the project. It amounts to a waste a lot of money. I would be interested to hear your opinion to possibly glean insight into reasons that explain this move. Hopper fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Nov 1, 2015 |

This is the kind of pathetic person who gets their rear end kicked and is mocked mercilessly in school for ratting others out to the teachers and then cries and whimpers "but I don't understand why everyone is mean to me". The only reason pathetic losers like that can safely gloat is because a) they cowardly hide on the internet and b) going to their house and smashing their teeth in is a punishable offence for some reason.

Is he already on that show? Derek, please consider this: At the moment, all that counts in your effort to bring accountability to the whole Star Citizen chaos is how the public perceives you, because that gives you press coverage. I live in Germany, so I am too far detached from American media to know who this person is you are talking to. All I know is what people posted. If it is true and this guy says all these things (they are quotes, so yes it is true) it means he is basically "Hitler 2.0" in the eyes of A LOT of people. It doesn't matter what he is (game developer) or whether he has the right to free speech to say all this. In the public eye he is scum. And you chose to talk to him. In the public eye, "Derek Smart going into an interview with this Vox Day guy and owning him thoroughly" will still only be "Smart talked to that nazi degenerate about a videogame, he must be really desperate to go talk to this scum". No matter how much you want to believe you can (and I believe you can) own this guy. IT DOES NOT MATTER. Your credibility will take a hit you might not recover from. Roberst will gloat like never before and the cultists will celebrate. Basically you are endangering all the success you and only you have so far made in bringing to light what a scam SC really is because of who you are, i.e. because people took you serious. You are jeopardizing all this. EDIT: too late...
