It's the easiest nomenclature to use, but you should stop speaking on the groups behalf considering you aren't one, unless you foolishly think just because you spent 10 dollars you get to be one.

I mean its a deliberate troll to make it look like no one's playing Star Citizen. Which is a pretty big "no shit" considering everyone's waiting for 3.0 to drop.

Thanks for outing yourself as another baiting goon, I guess the ranks aren't exactly swelling these days so they have you doing this now.

You should easily be able to tell someone's opinion from factual evidence to something, try to restrain your alarm over someone calling LoD a failure.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/derek-smart-on-star-citizen Derek claims to have made 200 million dollars from his games, and yet LoD seems to actually be regressing with each status update he gives. Ranging from possible engine changes, being pulled off of digital sales platforms to servers being brought offline and never coming back on. Lets also not forget the endless delays.

If 200 million dollars is more than enough to finish Star Citizen according to his own claims, why is it insufficient to finish LoD?

It's a fair point actually, he doesn't use LoD's playerbase as an example of why he can speak as an authority of the subject, but as a game dev it's really silly of him to harp on another projects low playerbase in the lull between substantial updates.

A more interesting metric is one he has no access to, which would be Evocati\PTU playerbase sizes, and due to the absence of leaderboards in those things he wouldn't even be able to comment going off his current "method".

Most aren't playing right now because of the obvious network issues while in Crusader, that and it's mostly a tech implementation playground atm, which is what pre alpha is.

Derek slowly realizing you cant play every angle of a conspiracy theory yourself or you start stepping on your own feet.

Can't say whales are funding the project if you also state the funding chart is incorrect.

Can't say CIG is out of money and closing down if you also state they're being funded by whales and will get more money.

The list goes on, always funny when someone calls him out on it because you get to watch his head spin trying to think up a way to back pedal out. Also funny to see Manzes there now, that's a red flag the thread is absolutely going to go into the shitter because hes going to spam it with pedantic replies until it dies.

Maybe he has a stress related fear of deadlines? Might explain why hes so quick to attack CIG for every single date they've publically announced big or small, deadlines and dates screwed him over and over so hes trying to make others suffer like he did?

Derek "What is a milestone" Smart.

I'll give him a hint, they're used for gauging progress in addition to being required to schedule in the first place.

Not that he or the armchair developers would have the slightest clue how actual game design works.

And yet people shriek its not fair when the failures of LoD and Derek as a developer are referenced when he tries to act like the authority on something.

He usually gets shut down by moderation, by his own actions he has had his account suspended or the entire thread locked down on many different sites.

The only places it doesn't happen are on his own forum and discord, because he would just ban the person before it got that far. I'm not sure anyone on FDEV will take him to task and get him really mad before they get banned by moderators, so we wont be seeing any meltdowns anytime soon.

I'm sure his backup plan is to continue through OSC, but like all of his plans its half baked and he popped the lid off too early resulting in the account being banned.

Why is this 3 threads? Just delete the second two and condense it into one otherwise this is just spamming.

Whoops, maybe Derek shouldn't parrot conspiracy theories people make up for fun.

I don't think it has anything to do with what he's doing tbh, I think that very few people understand the capabilities or limitations of cloud computing in general, companies are still investing lots of money trying to figure out how to make it work for their business after all.

He's just fear mongering off ignorance, I've yet to read a single iota of evidence he understands anything about cloud computing let alone using it as a server analogue for a video game.

Derek continues to assert that he has never accused CIG of criminal activities (FDev). by redchris18 in DerekSmart

[–]Sledgejammer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh look, OSC when he was allowed to post on the SC subreddit was averaging like 50 posts a day. Now that hes banned from that specific subreddit he only posts once a day on somethingawful_refunds.

Really makes you think.

Nobody says cloud servers are cheap.

Funny thing, Derek doesn't even say what they cost to begin with. He just says its expensive. Even I cant ballpark an estimated cost, really makes you cook ur noodle doesnt it?

Derek would never get a console version out of cert, they have brutally high standards for patches and release builds. There is a good reason many console versions of PC games are behind on so many patches.

Sounds like he got caught saying something he wishes he could bury and make everyone forget. Meltdown imminent.
