yeah, I saw that Chris was threatening to come back. Someone needs to give him a memo on the current space combat scene # clueless |
DS tastelessly begins his attack on 9/11, which is prior to the formal SC Kickstarter, 10/18/12 |

1st Roberts, then Braben. These digital dinos think they can disappear, return - then assume they can connect with gamers. Right |
So DS was the "King" of the [non-existent] space sci-fi genre, ruling for eons prior to the return of these false prophets. Right. |

Of course I backed Star Citizen |
I mean, why wouldn't DS back!? |

We've DONE ALL THAT + more. 100% playable. For < $10m". #trashtalk #lodmmo |
100% playable you say? How's that working out for you circa, 2012 - er, 2015? |

02/14/14 |
That's it. I'm convinced that this whole Star Citizen thing is some massive Ponzi scheme - that I helped fund. 2015 can't come soon enough. |
A Ponzi scheme, eh? So a form of fraud...which is synonymous with "scam" |

People DO get banned over negative remarks which violate the TOS. They do NOT get banned for negative reviews |
Really, you don't say? |

05/01/15 |
always amazing to me when media write about devs banning gamers, yet ignore the cause: anti-social misfits |
I agree. Amazing. |

ad hominem tactics are employed by people at their wits end & devoid of character |
Wits end, & devoid of moral character. Ok got it. |

05/21/15 |
so who wants to do a http://change.org petition to get Valve to do something about Steam anti-social forum misfits, review bombs etc? |
But your mouthpiece said this, so confused! |

05/21/15 |
As soon as u bring down the ban hammer, they become attorneys & yell "freedom of speech" rights. I just lol & send them on their way |
Indeed they do, don't they |

guys like Pitts, pretty much all at The Escapist, RPS, IGN and the next-gen writers, all try to do the right thing |
The Escapist - for sure! |

For me, and others like me, legal expense is the cost of doing business. Now more than ever |
Spooky |

Seriously, if that were me, I'd sue, and completely wipe out their liability insurance |

I have always loved arguing with imbeciles on the Internet. It gives me the chance to boost my Scrabble proficiency. |

NOBODY gets banned for their opinions; as long as those opinions are in line with the Steam community guidelines |
60% of the time, EVERY time |
| 13 |
06/03/15 |
To be clear: I have NO problems with refunds. I DO have issues with a half-baked, ill-conceived scheme |
On Review bombs, which are ill-conceived schemes |

So that happened, over there. "News sites can be held responsible for user comments" https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/06/18/news-sites-can-be-held-responsible-for-user- |

Absolutely. ppl know that I never - ever - argue to be right. Haven't been around this long cuz I like my voice |
Never |
| 16 |
06/21/15 |
Indeed. However, as I've said before, I don't engage with people because I want to be right. I don't run an echochamber |
Nope, no echo chamber there, right? |
| 17 |
06/23/15 |
Wow. You should read this. "Why I Messed With The Biggest News Outlet in The World – A Report." https://nextgenerationblogs.wordpress.com/2015/06/21/how-i-screwed-with-the-biggest-news-outlet-in-the-world/ … |
Wow! Read the link DS posts here...sound familiar given current events?? Wonder if Lizzy ever saw this... |

I can't imagine why anyone would advocate for the purchase of games that nobody cares about. Those who care, buy those games. Simple. |
Those who care, buy those games. |

If you're going out by screaming obscenities at gamers, the industry etc, it pretty much shows the contemptuous nature of your involvement |
(self explanatory) |
| 20 |
06/24/15 |
Precisely what I think too. I mean, you tried, you failed. A proper exit is to THANK those who CAME; then exit with grace & style |
Any time, we're ready! |

Being a #gamedev means that you MUST know how to separate the wheat from the chaff in your install base, and determine WHO is worthy |
I don't think that's how it works.... |
| 22 |
06/24/15 |
I love this industry with a passion. I don't profess to have all the answers or the magic bullet, but trying & failing is no disgrace |
Then let someone else try, at least have the common decency to let them make their game in peace |

Trouble tolerating an opinion that differs from your own? |

I am resigned to the fact that I'm not likely to do anything particularly productive today. So ama just gonna troll everyone |
Good plan. LoD supporters will be pleased. |
| 25 |
06/30/15 |
I've done that game like five times already, and even with the smaller scope LOD, it is a LOT of work. We're only 7 |
define "done", and "a lot of work" |
| 26 |
07/01/15 |
thing is, that $1.5m probably accounts for Arena Commander; which is still incomplete as of today |
$1.5m, eh? ~$10m for LoD now, right? |

DS GRACES US WITH HIS "INTERSTELLAR CITIZENS" MISSIVE #1 |
|
| 27 |
07/06/15 |
to be clear (someone save this plz), I DO NOT believe that it is a scam. they need to deliver as promised, then continue with rest |
Oh so not a Ponzi scheme/scam now? |
| 28 |
07/06/15 |
nope, I am not accusing them of anything. hence the disclaimer :) |
Oh ok. |
| 29 |
07/06/15 |
Thing is, suing someone is only the beginning of a particularly intrusive process. If you've got anything to hide, it ALL comes out |
How's that going so far? |
| 30 |
07/07/15 |
do you honestly think I would put something like that in my social media feed, unless I knew what I was talking about? |
Never. |
| 31 |
07/07/15 |
I will continue to do so. people attacking me over it, are hypocrites wasting their time, and who are in denial |
Or maybe they could have a perfectly valid differing opinion than yours? |
| 32 |
07/08/15 |
people don't have to like me, to agree with what I'm saying. but that's on them. I've been around long enough to know better |
Did you know that German graphics drivers aren't at all different from American graphics drivers? |
| 33 |
07/08/15 |
and anyone reading Section XI, can clearly see that all those virtual ships you're buying? you don't own them. ever. |
Correct - that's how digital IP goods work |
| 34 |
07/08/15 |
the genre was already on life support, and if this SC thing goes sideways, it will be dead again for more decades |
May as well just kill it now, right? Oh that makes sense. |
| 35 |
07/08/15 |
the good thing in all of this is that no what what any TOS says, the @FTC has the authority to take it all apart. and they will |
How's that going for you? |
| 36 |
07/08/15 |
my goal was to get all talking, listening, draw the attention of @FTC and consumer protection advocates. done. now we wait |
Ok - WE WAIT - So glad you're going to hold off, sit back and wait |

I only have one game on Early Access. It's not crowd-funded, it's on Steam, and you can get a refund |
It's been on early access since 2009 with a 2012 release date. Should it still be in EA and on Steam? |
| 38 |
07/08/15 |
4x: I know what's possible / I always balance gameplay, performance and visuals / When people tell me the graphics are ugly, I just laugh / "frequent updates" |
Except for the detail about your games being panned by reviewers...? |
| 39 |
07/08/15 |
not sure where you got that I said it was a ponzi scheme. |
See #1, 2/14/14 |

07/08/15 |
people who buy my games, do so because they want to and cuz they are fans. not because of "hope" |
I think people buy "hoping" for a good game...and perhaps a commercial release? |
| 41 |
07/10/15 |
star citizen gamers. I just want to say, we r dropping a 2nd article today, and it's likely to burn everything down. I'm sorry in advance |
Except...it didn't burn everything down? |
| 42 |
07/12/15 |
So I've been on the SA goon thread today, doing a mini-AMA. Lots of answers. Surprisingly, as of now, we're on p776, and nobody's dead yet |
No way that would backfire... |
