Well according to Ben they just put together their gameplay team a few weeks ago so these things take time.

Well to be fair how much gameplay does it take to move a mouse in a rudimentary UI to press play on the most glorious space opera movie of our generation and then to occasionally click on a dialogue tree?

A challenger appears

To be fair in this instance the users of a website that harbors an unusual amount of pedophiles are right that it won't happen. People in the original SA thread about this scam were directly challenging Derrick to sue them and all he did was use that to get a subforum on a dead internet comedy website.

Granted I'd love to see him follow through but I think it's got the same likelihood of happening as Star Citizen has a likelihood of existing and being good.

Nah.

As fun as having uncle Dereck go space court on them would be entertaining and funny its pretty evident that there is nothing (yet) than we know of that could be used to make a case viable. Being a bad game dev, squandering millions and making bordeline impossible promises is neither a criminal or civil offense.

The best thing i could think for a solid legal actions would be proof that the funding tracker is bullshit. We all suspect there is shenanigans going on with it, but unless there is a leak from Turbulent detailling exactly "how" it is misrepresenting the real funding we cant do much about it.

I meant even following through on his threats to do anything about the libel claims or whatever, I know he'll never do anything against CIG

The accounts normally used by CIG to drown dissent with Derek Smart accusations are conspicuously absent. Meanwhile, the FCC website is being incessantly attacked by monotonous comments from bots decrying net neutrality as a force for evil. Coincidence? :tinfoil:

To the tune of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb7Xdu7STx8

Day after day
I send my cash away
To mansions cold and grey
To the Star side of town
Where the dim men stalk the tweets
While the sane stay on SA

Day after day
They tell me I can know
They tell me I can show
Off the Star side of town
Where it's pointless to LTI
'Cause it's such a con way down

So I tell them that
I can fly, I will dream, I will break my karma
I will do me harm
Here I stand, FUD in hand, posting to my wall
I'm not quite right at all, am I?

Don't set me free, I'm as whale-y as can be
Just my Polaris and me
And my R/DS makes three

'Cause I'd rather stay here
With all the sadmen
Than perish with the Smart men roaming free
And I'd rather play here
With all the sadmen
For I'm quite content they've pledged the same
As me

(Where can three point oh lie
When a scammer hides
His procgen birds
In a cellar, dark and grim
They must be very dim)

Day after day
They take some brain away
Then turn my pledge around
To the Star side of town
And tell me that it's real
Then ask me how I feel

Here I stand, FUD in hand, posting to my wall
I'm not quite right at all

Don't set me free, I'm as helpless as can be
My bank account's split on me
Gimme some good 'ole fidelity

'Cause I'd rather stay here
With all the sadmen
Than perish with the Smart men roaming free
And I'd rather play here
With all the sadmen
For I'm quite content they've pledged the same
As me

Sorry, David Bowie :saddowns:

I used to wonder how people could so vigorously defend Star Citizen despite all evidence proving they have the wrong of the thing. Then I saw how many people could so vigorously defend the "pineapple is a bad pizza topping" despite all evidence proving they have the wrong of the thing. Then I remember many of the pineapple wrongs also bought Star Citizen for literally any other reason than to fleece nerds on the gray market.

Makes one think.

Guys it has been mentioned in a few posts but I don't think you understand.

Yes Star Citizen is bad and doesn't exist.

But you're talking about it instead of doing sick kickflips that murder people in Tenno Hawk's Pro Skater on a Back to the Future style hoverboard.

What I'm saying is go download Warframe and play the new open world content to realize how much fun the game is for throwing fidelity to the wind, and realize they'll be adding basically Star Citizen but working into their game because they can and want to later this year.
