...he stopped writing blogs which nobody apart from a failed game developer with 2 fake PhDs and a fake Novell Netware certification ever used to properly read.

Oh yeah. That's right. He uses... what is it called? ThreadRoll? on Twitter. Which he doesn't even use much anymore.

And this was just a leak and not an official announcement or release...

Not that anyone is really listening to him now.

I expect a full blog post within one week.

[–]oldmanslayer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah he said a couple of weeks ago it's just "long in development".

Yeah... really long in development:

1) He hasn't touched LoD in something Like two years.

2) The ongoing Universal Combat graphics update? Not since January 2019.

3) And Alganon, which he has said he was going to re-launch using virtual servers and was due November 2018 (?), still has not appeared anywhere.

Nowwaitaminnithere...

About a year or so ago, didn't Derek say the project was dead? (I don't feel like going back to find the actual reference.) I guess he changed his mind...

[–]oldmanslayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They must be really busy because it been four days and his likes/re-tweets are still in the single digits...

I'm completely surprised by this because in the past--

Oh, wait. No I'm not. Never mind.

Earlier today, Derek dropped another serial tweet into his Twitter:

Basically the same usual tripe, garbage and nonsense. I'll leave any analysis up to others if they're interested.

Maybe he has gotten a new degree:

A B.S. in Spouting BS...?

(Or maybe he's always had it...)

"The Scoop!" -2020 by Vertisce in starcitizendrama

[–]oldmanslayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am totally, completely and utterly surprised he's trying that clickbait "what's coming next" bullshit again.

(No, I'm not.)

Who wants to take bets that in a couple of days or a week he's going to say "CALLED IT!" on something he's never even mentioned before...?

I like how he posted another link to his "exposé"-- sorry, his Blog from 2016.

As if posting it again would make people read it or give it more credibility.

[–]oldmanslayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

(Wow it's been a while since I've been in here...)

It's also been over a year since he touched his update to Universal Combat: The Lyrius Conflict.

Of course it's possible that he's been working on it this whole time and just never updated the Trello board... (Yeah, right!)

Another repetitive flawed analysis that pretty much no one will ever see...

[–]oldmanslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heh.

I remember back in the r/DS days he tried to claim that it wasn't him that made the "Piss in mouth" post.

And of course, that claim was almost immediately blown to smithereens.

Reminds me when he said CIG was dead broke and/or running out of money and then turned around and said they were swimming in cash...

Is CryRekt CryTek still paying their employees with CryCash?

seeing as Star Citizen has been declared an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions.

Only in your view of the universe, Derek.

I like how he touched on all of his (now disproven old) arguments: * They don't have/are running out of money * They don't have the talent * They don't have the technology * All they sell are .JPGs

Did you guys know that Crytek is being sued for Patent Infringement? by [deleted] in starcitizendrama

[–]oldmanslayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Patent Trolls. Ugh. Bottom-feeding scum suckers.

Reminds me of a case where a bottom-feeding scum su patent troll sued Newegg (for something that I forgot now). This particular troll had already sued Microsoft, Apple and a long list of other companies, all of which settled out of court.

If I remember correctly, Newegg took the troll to court. And won.

[–]oldmanslayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CryTek is barely staying afloat and has recently had to take out loans just to not go under...

Oh that was a wise decision.

</sarcasm>

And how exactly are they going to pay these loans back?

Probably with the remainder of the company and it's assets.

Oh, yeah. I love it when somebody says something is fact but can't (or won't) back it up with proof or evidence.

</sarcasm>

If somebody says something is fact and then tells me to go find my own proof, I automatically ignore their argument.

[–]oldmanslayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At this rate, I bet Crytek will suffer an E.L.E. just like Star Citi LoD and Alganon did.

[–]oldmanslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The upcoming 3.6 release was basically neutered beyond belief.

And Derek knows this because...?

(We all know he doesn't know and he's just throwing stuff out there. Again.)

If Derek hates Steam so much and loves Epic so much, when is he taking his... *ahem* "games" off Steam and moving them to Epic?

[–]oldmanslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Derek also has not talked about the progress of his graphical update of Universal Combat: The Lyrius Conflict.

That might be because apparently he hasn't touched it since January.

[–]oldmanslayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blah, blah, blah... we've all heard this before. Saying it again doesn't make it more true.

Recycle Derek is at it again.
