They both seem like awful people. I would guess the studio is a hostile, directionless place and Derek Smart is an asshole. They're not mutually exclusive.

This mindset makes no sense.

Escapist is trash.

Can't say I'm surprise.

can't tell if this post is someone wanting to believe Star Citizen is tanking, or someone who just read where the escapist took their "sources" from.

Care to explain why?

Care to explain why?

where do you get that it's a "hostile, directionless place"?

That pretty much ignores the response from Chris Roberts. Unless you consider that invalid, in which case I would ask why anonymous are valid when nothing they say can be confirmed. Not everyone is going to agree in game development and there certainly exists a "pie-in-the-sky" issue in the development of Star Citizen, but that is FAR from proof the CR paid for his fucking house with the crowdfunding money or that his wife is racist.

You could argue that Chris Roberts is a middle tier developer with his own career baggage, but he doesn't even come close to that scum Derek Smart. Derek Smart is a vindictive weasel that resorts to harassment when anyone even thinks of disagreeing with him. And on top of that, he's a legit shit developer, and the worst type too because he believes he is really good.

So no they aren't the same. You have a shit dev with mental issues that has made it his personal quest to bring down SC, and you have Chris Roberts, who isn't perfect, but is putting in good faith effort. He also doesn't threaten anyone who shits on his game, like the other guy.

Only reason its gotten this far is Roberts trying to wish it all away. Having Derek Smart lecturing you on game development is like Hitler lecturing people on fucking tolerance.
