I find it interesting he keep talking about ex employees. He has no idea if all 9 are ex or not. But I also took away he really wants to know who they are. Now that Forbes has taken it up as a major story things are going to start moving forward. Be interesting how fast this starts to movie. But one thing certain this isn't going to be about DS much longer no matter how much Roberts wants it to be.
One thing I agree with this is getting fun, for us but maybe not so much for Roberts and his wife.
^^ This is called damage control and if this is true.."first job working in the video game industry" then this guy isn't really going to know how things really work in the industry. Just going to be more smoke and mirrors.
Yep Roberts is pulling out anything he can, wouldn't shock me if his daughter don't make some statement (she is an actress after all) at some point.
If they want to shut everyone up, they could just release a quality game when they said they would. They are already a year late and counting. Sure, all MMO's have delays, but this is getting a bit silly with this game. They kickstarted in 2012 and I don't even see a 2016 release as likely at this point. Less talk and more substance would be the only thing Roberts could do to shut down the mounting criticism.
Not sure what you are trying to show by that reddit link honestly.
He doesn't confront any of the concerning points other than there is always ups and downs in emotions just like in every job. I also find it odd that they are all coming left and right now defending the CR and not earlier when DS was making blogs over blogs about them.
Maybe CR is whipping his employees to leave positive messages without answering any of the concerns

They think things are just going a little too far.
But I take it that only the unhappy unnamed ones are honest.
Yes indeed. Story in one media outlet thinking that a story written somewhere else is important enough to write a short article about reinforcing its content (and emphasizing a bit that seems to be ignored "... and current employees...")

Nah there could be exagerrations I'm not denying that, it's just so far any defend response seems like everything is going smooth as silk.
Don't worry guys! Here, buy our new ship! It's cheap!
After years in management I am certain some of the people I had to fire would swear I was a demon. Nothing they ever did was grounds for termination. It was always everyone else, me, the phase of the moon, etc.
The people who worked hard, understood what being part of a team meant, etc have little to no bad to say.
I expect this probably applies to most companies work forces.

If the project is reliant on ships sales to be completed, the project is doomed.

You're probably right although in my experience it's not just a current employee vs. former employee kind of thing - there are always factions within an active work force and no shortage of opinions about management. It happens at CIG, Apple and Microsoft as well as Enron, Volkswagen and WorldCom.

First of all, claims like this that are leveled at a company need to be investigated on the corporate level. If there is nothing that is found to be incriminating, then the countersuit can be filed for slander and defamation of the company.
Point is, these allegations need to be investigated, no matter what a CEO says or attempts to harass over.
Look Derek! LOOK! He said mean things about you! Time to sue him for all those things you have clear proof of so you can finally bring this tyrant to his knees for the good of the land!
Anyone else want some of this popcorn? Just popped a new bag.

You must have missed it but not all were fired, some used their feet and walked. Doesn't that give them any credibility?
Here we go again with the impatient people expecting a triple A game over night which is attempting to do something that has never been done before. Definitely a small vocal minority who think if they can't have things their way, they would rather throw a tantrum on their blogs and ruin it for everyone else.

Ruin it for who?
CR said he has the money to make the game- So regardless of what the "haters" say on their "blogs" - CR will prove them wrong. right?

Anonymously no, you could be full of shit with an axe to grind.
Unless people are willing to go on record, it's nothing but a tabloid article.
Sorry, people are kinda hanging on the word fired. I was merely using that to illustrate the potential for bad will of former disgruntled employees. I will strive to be clearer in the future.
