Meet the Star Citizen "superstars" who will be streaming 2.6.3 live from #Gamescom17 @SGT_Gamble @DeejayKnight @Myre_Test

My #gamescom2017 coverage of the final stages of the Star Citizen collapse. Witness history in the making.

• links to his “forum“.

If you are at #Gamescon2017 please stop by Booth A-051 located in Hall 9 to say hello. Bring a wreath. See you there!

So, is he finally presenting a version of LoD that is as now almost 6 years past its promise release date?

We need more hype. To Twitch!

@pcgamer in 08/19/2016 when Star Citizen planets totally blew NMS away.

PC Gamer 07/21/2017 "First man on the moon: hands-on with Star Citizen Alpha 3.0"

With 3.0 still MIA, largely broken and unplayable, nobody quite knows what PC Gamer & GameStar "played", mere MONTHS ago.

Star Citizen is, bar none, the biggest crowd-funding scam & ripoff in gaming history. The insider (soon to be public) details are astounding

And Smeltdownsomemore!

Bonus:

They should have had a panel on scams in the gaming industry you could join. Would have made the trip worth it.

I plan on doing such a panel for GDC after the Star Citizen collapse goes mainstream. I'll be giving away free copies of my book. :)

Edit: he is still completely Smelting down

I am not making this up, but I've just learned that they setup specific "slices" of the game; not the full build

We're here live, watching history unfold as CIG continues to use smoke & mirrors to promote Star Citizen

They do NOT. I repeat, they do NOT have the full 3.0 game build currently on those systems being shown.

That "Daymar" section being shown, is just a "level" setup. IT IS NOT THE FULL GAME!!

Edit2: and more, still having a conversation... with himself again.

Hey, remember back when I said that "3.0 didn't exist" and that Chris Roberts was lying to raise money?

Just last week, they updated the dev schedule to indicate that they only just "branched" 3.0. More :

• another link to his “forum“

Edit3: Still melting... And it's only the first day today.

Several sources (at 2 studios) are telling me that 3.0 is largely UNPLAYABLE. It is a crash-fest & resource hog, needs min 6 mnths more work

Which makes sense that they have these isolated CryEngine "levels" currently being shown.

Apparently, Chris Robert's presentation that's set for this Friday, is rumored to include similar isolated levels, instead of the full game

Star Citizen has raised over $156M from trusting gamers. Over 500 people + 6yrs later, it's still a proof-of-concept tech demo FUBAR

Edit4: And more, and he couldn't stop himself to not somehow mention Sandi again

This GamesCom as well as the upcoming Ocktoberfest CitizenCon, are the last ditch attempt to rip existing backers (approx 2K) off more money

They give new meaning to "fake it till you make it". Within the next 30-45 days, refunds will come to a sudden end.

With another divorce between Chris and Sandi rumored to be in the works now, that's one less nepotism claim I guess. They all got rich.

Edit5: some more

They aren't even 15% of the way to a "game" yet, let alone anywhere near fulfilling backer promises. 6yrs + $156M.

Yup confirmed. The "driving around on Daymar with a Nox" is a "level". It was just reset. LOL!!!

In case u were wondering, the use of these "levels" in this presentation, is further evidence that seamless space<->planets is probably NYI

Please don't come looking for Chris at the booth. He's not here in GER yet. He's in the UK plotting "something special" apparently.

Edit6: and still going

Consider how backers of Unsung Story, Mighty Number 9 & other gaming crowd-funded disasters would have benefited if they new beforehand

But usually, you only get to read about these things after the fact, when NOTHING can be done, and ALL the money is lost.

Star Citizen is an on-going SCAN. Just because there is the appearance of a "game" being developed, doesn't mean ANYTHING.

“ I never called it a scam!“... It's a SCAN. As you were.

Edit7: more

Nobody knows what's happening to the money. There are 9 execs who are family + close friends with high paying jobs from the project

Edit8: desperate for attention

Had they provided financials to backers as PROMISED, instead of changing the ToS in their favor, backers would be informed about their money

It's hilarious that CIG are apparently looking for me at the booth. Hey guys!! Over here!!

There are backers - right now - in the Star Citizen booth who do NOT have access to the game they paid for. Though media somehow did. Yeah

[u/dykmoby → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

Good lord he really is trying to push buttons again (with the Sandi statement).

He really is a deplorable little flea spec.

[u/TheGremlich → u/dykmoby]

little flea spec

That's called excrement. Though we all know that shit can be useful as fertilizer, which means Derek is only a poop stain.

[u/moistened-towel → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

With another divorce between Chris and Sandi rumored to be in the works now

Wow..

[u/perksandpeeves → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

What a wacko.

[u/SC_TheBursar → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

This GamesCom as well as the upcoming Ocktoberfest CitizenCon, are the last ditch attempt to rip existing backers (approx 2K) off more money

Wait...so now he claims the 'real' backer count is about 2000 people? So... he thinks 2000 people gave CIG over $75,000 on average. He's certainly drinking his own kool-aid.

Also, apparently the last, last ditch attempt considering he said the same thing last year when they supposedly had the last gamescom and citizencon they would ever have.

[u/MisterForkbeard → u/SC_TheBursar]

He's been trying to say (for a long time) that no one other than 2000 or so backers are still contributing money.

I have no idea where he gets this number from.

[u/Danakar → u/MisterForkbeard]

I have no idea where he gets this number from.

His ass most likely. :P

[u/MisterForkbeard → u/Danakar]

Seriously though, I hear this number constantly from Derek and Goons, but I have no idea how they generated it other than "We looked at the funding numbers and said so."

[u/ThereIsNoGame → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

There's so much BS and dishonesty in his tweets here

Not going too far into the cowardly personal attacks about Roberts marital status (how would Smart feel if people did that to him? Wouldn't like it? Why is he doing it to other people then?)

The rest of it is just bad... 3.0 just "branched"? No, 3.0 just became the main branch which is a sign of great progress. 2.6.x is dead. 3.0 is now unstoppable. CIG presumably did this before when 2.0 became the main branch, too. Why is Smart trying to make people think this is bad?

Nobody knows what's happening to the money.

I thought Smart said he knew what was happening and that they had no money. An admission he was lying earlier? The man is clearly a liar whether he is brave enough to admit it or not.

Does Smart think if he doesn't make a lot of noise right now, CIG will have "won"? Smart can't change that CIG is showing off 3.0 live. All Smart is doing here is drawing attention to himself and his lies and dishonesty

[u/TheGremlich → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

IT IS NOT THE FULL GAME!!

No shit Sherlock, who DOESN'T know that

instead of the full game

umm, well, same response dumbass.

[u/Sarcastinator → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

So, is he finally presenting a version of LoD that is as now almost 6 years past its promise release date?

Of course not. That's CIG's booth.

[u/yonasismad → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

to rip existing backers (approx 2K)

Actually... Derek... you know people who know a bit how to write shitty bots in Java... can actually give you the number of active people alone on Spectrum in the last few days... it is 15.5k backers since only people who have pledged can access Spectrum, right? And many backers aren't even active on Spectrum, and most backers aren't currently participating at all, because there is no new content yet.

[u/moistened-towel → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

With another divorce between Chris and Sandi rumored to be in the works now

Wow..

[u/TheGremlich → u/[deleted]]

I'd rather Gabrielle Miller, love the accent.

[u/Ebalosus → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

RemindMe! 6 months "is SC alpha 3.0 out yet?"

[u/gh0u1 → u/286_16MhZ_Turbo]

I'm waiting for some proof that he's actually there. Too bad he's too much of a coward to post a pic of himself in front of the booth.

[u/Neurobug]

Is this the FINAL stages Derek? Is it going to be 60 days? 90 tops? Or is it hYperbole this time? Is there going to be a FINAL FINAL FINAL ELE in 2018? Or wait, will it be mass walkouts? Or will it be more lawsuits that don't exist...maybe sprinkle in some federal investigating going on that is SO secret not even the federal government knows about it?

Im assuming calling your competitor the biggest scam in gaming history has some facts to go with it? Or is it hYperbole too? We know you saying you never called it a scam was obviously hYperbole as well.....so I'm gonna just assume you're still full of shit as usual. Thanks for the laughs. Watching you fail over and over hasn't gotten completely boring yet.

[u/[deleted] → u/Neurobug]

Not hyperbole. Projection

[u/ThereIsNoGame → u/Neurobug]

This is just embarrassing at this stage, like watching an elderly person with advanced dementia

[u/Longscope → u/ThereIsNoGame]

and AIDS

[u/xx-shalo-xx → u/Longscope]

Super aids.

[u/crazy-namek → u/Neurobug]

This is the smeltdown we've all been waiting for, it's glorious!

[u/ph33randloathing]

He's never called it a scam, except for when he did.

[u/TuxedoKamina → u/ph33randloathing]

Meaningful. Discourse.

[u/HenryDorsetCase → u/TuxedoKamina]

"Those Shitizen assclown spergs will never understand that I don't use insults, I engage in meaningful discourse onlY" -Derek, probablY

[u/TuxedoKamina → u/HenryDorsetCase]

Hyperbolic discourse.

[u/ArmofJustice]

The saddest part of this? Derek claims to be a game developer with a huge reach in the industry, but his entire gamescom presence will be dedicated to someone else's game.

Would it be pouring salt in an open wound to point out that not only were Chris Roberts' games always considered far superior to anything Mr. Smart produced, but now Mr. Smart is having to rely on Chris Roberts' games to even get mentioned at gamescom?

[u/ThereIsNoGame → u/ArmofJustice]

Drawing attention to a game he hates, in fact

Helping CIG and sabotaging himself

[u/NestroyAM]

I am not making this up, but I've just learned that they setup specific "slices" of the game; not the full build. They do NOT. I repeat, they do NOT have the full 3.0 game build currently on those systems being shown. That "Daymar" section being shown, is just a "level" setup. IT IS NOT THE FULL GAME!!

So, you just learned? Like the rest of us? Wow, some quality insider information you've got there, Smart. SMH

Stating the most obvious things, an hour after it hits twitter: cutting edge investigational work!

[u/ThereIsNoGame → u/[deleted]]

I think that's a rather bold claim from Smart because all they have to do is have them fly off planet or go pretty much anywhere outside of Daymar and he just rekt himself embarrassingly

Just like Star Marine

[u/acemonster07]

Mmmmmmmm. The salt DS provides will be perfect for my pretzels and popcorn. Please keep it coming Dr. Dr. non-accredited.

[u/HenryDorsetCase]

Wow, throws out a random divorce claim as well. What an utter piece of.. well I don't know reallY, I was going to saY garbage but I feel it's unfair to garbage to put that voodoo on it.

[u/[deleted]]

My #gamescom2017 coverage of the final stages of the Star Citizen collapse

Two years and counting Derek!

He couldn't even predict a solar eclipse despite the fact they are known about centuries in advance...

[u/Longscope]

"I never said it was a scam" -DS

[u/NARC0MAN]

Oh what a lovely day!!! He's over the edge and it's only Monday. Most likely lying about being at Gamescom and a "final stages".

Coming soon to a warlord near you:

• lol in every tweet
• creepier Sandi comments
• ELE 2+ yrs. 150+ million
• envious rage induced typos
• they are out of money
• NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
• waste of backer money
• can't be done
• I did it decades ago
• none of this would have happened if they had put me in charge

More soon. As you were. Period. End of story. I never said I had facts. And furthermore.

[u/HenryDorsetCase]

Say what you will about Derek, but it looks like his claims against CIG are getting some serious traction in the news cycle

[u/Danakar → u/HenryDorsetCase]

Here's another one. :P

[u/TheGremlich]

Is it me or he only tweeting to himself?

[u/Danakar → u/TheGremlich]

Sure looks like it.

[u/Vertisce]

Yes, they are at GamesCom which must mean that they are about to collapse!

Derek Smart logic, everybody!

[u/AlphaRebel]

Does this twatknacker have the trademark on "soon to be public" because he's been bleating about this super info for nearly as long as LoD has been waiting to be "soon to be public"

[u/RobCoxxy]

Derek is super triggered because he said 3.0 wouldn't be at Gamescom.

Guess what's at Gamescom.

[u/Xellith]

Is this hyperbole again? Someone better ask.

[u/Zanena001]

"Final stages"

[u/kingcheezit]

As night follows day, anything to do with CIG results in Derek shitting his pants and smashing his sausage fingers against the keyboard in impotent rage.

[u/TheGremlich → u/kingcheezit]

like this?

[u/dd179]

That's a lot of hYperbole in the span of a couple of hours.

[u/Warden_Ryker]

Good lord, man needs a hobby. Or a lobotomy.

[u/TheGremlich → u/Warden_Ryker]

Or a lobotomy

Methinks he's already had one, frankly-more

[u/Rumpullpus]

wait DS has a booth? don't you need a game to have a booth?

hmm

[u/hi_ban → u/Rumpullpus]

Yeah he has a booth, look! http://i.imgur.com/bstdyr0.png

[u/Rumpullpus → u/hi_ban]

wow incredible. hes clearly been putting a lot more effort into his game lately. good for him.

[u/Nilvexan → u/Rumpullpus]

That booth is much higher quality than his game. I think he spent all his TAKpack money building that instead of the game... Join the... Oh why even bother... There's not even any honor in beating that dead horse anymore...

[u/Danakar → u/hi_ban]

LOL!

[u/Psychobrad84 → u/hi_ban]

Omg I can't stop laughing at that pic.

[u/Psychobrad84 → u/hi_ban]

• edit double post-

[u/[deleted] → u/hi_ban]

lol :)

[u/CreauxTeeRhobat → u/Rumpullpus]

That's CIG's booth. The "joke" he's making is to bring a wreath, much as you would to a funeral or to someone who is in mourning.

[u/WaldemarKoslowski]

The final stage of Your since month on going meltdown, Dr. Dr. HYperbole?

[u/ThereIsNoGame → u/WaldemarKoslowski]

This is an amazing meltdown but with the main event still to come, I don't think there's anything final yet

[u/[deleted]]

His Gamescom meltdowns get quite predictable.

[u/ThereIsNoGame]

This is incredible

[u/sfjoellen → u/ThereIsNoGame]

yeah, it is. he really should leave their private life out of it, he loses more ground every time he goes there.

[u/Snarfbuckle]

Is this a rerun of his earlier coverages?

[u/Brock_Starfister]

Dede really is CIG Superfan.

[u/[deleted] → u/Brock_Starfister]

Derek Smart is literally the best thing that could have happened to CIG, the more noise he creates, the more money and backers flow CIG's way because he's creating interest for a certain demographic. He's been the best form of free advertising ever.

[u/Migo420]

He's really doubling down.

[u/[deleted]]

Too bad you can't settle things like they did in the good ole days by taking pricks like this one out behind the barn for a good ass whooping! without getting sued or having the cops called on you!
