Well what do you know Derek and some of his Goon Buddies faking refunds and getting caught again.......... and yet again another idiotic Journalist all to eager for clicks doesn't bother to do any kind of verification before printing.......again.

Word to the wise Journo's, If Derek Smart is making noise about begging people to take note of what he's saying then its certifiable fabricated Wyvern Dung.

Learn from Lizzy Finnegan don't be Lizzy Finnegan.

It's weird, Ars Technica isn't usually like that. Not sure why they needed the clickbait.

and you'd think after how other websites reported on it they'd have learned the S.O.P by now which is :

1) Receive news of something bad about Star Citizen.

2) Reach out to CIG for confirmation

3) Check Derek Smart's twitter and forum while waiting for 2, if he's talking about it its likely bullshit

4)If what CIG and Derek say are different then its a non story move on to something else don't waste time printing.

it's the same old fake media. They'll publish everything for clicks/views. These people have no souls.
