So he previously owned Allgraf games and published a horribly unfinished and buggy game "Darkout", with backer funding. He is considered by many to have "screwed over Kickstarter backers". The "game" had very little depth, was touted to be the first of three
stages retroactively (even in his last communication where he
retroactively decided that stages 2 and 3 would be DLC. Sound familiar?) Then, apparently, he bailed, without telling the community he was leaving, and turned up working at CIG.
Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what
it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience
because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in
the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you
playing an MMORPG?"
In the litany of things that are screwed up about Roberts and Star Citizen's development, this is pretty minor. Cannot manage much dudgeon. Sucks for the folks who bought in to this Darkside thing, but otherwise.......
Says the ten friends you have that told you all the negative things about the terrible person known as Chris Roberts, right?
He is an egotistical asshat. If you'd lived in the area 40+ years, you might have met some folks who'd worked with Roberts too. So you could get some behind the scenes bitching about him as well.
Hiring this new guy isn't a real big thing to me though. Though they do seem to be going through a lot of mid to high level talent. I've only talked to one veteran game company acquaintance who worked at CIG, but in no depth whatsoever. He did say that working at CIG was no fun. And he quit.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

So what if he's an egotistical asshat?
A lot of people like that have gotten great things done throughout time. Some of the best actors and directors in the world have been established as egomaniacs.
While I think it's pretty amazing that you know no less than 10 people, personally, who ALL know Chris Roberts on a personal level, I can't rule that out.
But I'm not interested in Star Citizen because I want to be friends with Chris Roberts.
The boss of a project being disliked is hardly uncommon, though. The motivation for that dislike can be many things - but a lot of people working on Star Citizen have worked with Roberts before.
Strange that they've chosen to do so, if he's all bad.
So, you see, your word alone doesn't really prove anything. It's useless without specifics - and especially in threads that are so obviously unfairly skewed. It makes you seem anything but neutral and objective about a person you've never met yourself.
I used to cut Derek Smart a lot of slack, for instance. I didn't believe everyone back in the Usenet days. It was only after participating for a few weeks in those discussions that I realised the kind of guy he really was.
Sometimes, people aren't what they seem to be - and at other times, they are.
But you can't just take the word of others and rely on it. At least, not in my book.
Only problem I see is CR has been caught in way too many lies. yet I haven't seen DS lie about anything. Yet! But then to each there own. I would hope CIG at least gets to an alpha state sooner than later. Sick of all these concept videos.

Yeah yeah its from reddit and therefor all the things stated there are lies and smoke and mirrors for you. Just keep your eyes closed. Observation is not your strength anyway.
So what you are saying is if DS says it, it is not true? Yet if someone on Reddit says it is false it is true? Also the video shows how they are laughing at the Reddit post.

I think you need a nick change, :-D
What I say? I just linked the stuff that happens on Reddit regarding DS.
I nowhere said that all DS says is not true. Stop putting words in other people's mouth.

I don't know, when you post a thread on Reddit and it says everything DS said is false, clearly you must understand we are going to think you support that way of thinking.

I do not post on Reddit.
First you put words in my mouth and now you are simply painting everything in black and white?
And if you paid attention you should know my position regarding DS.

Why link something that is incorrect? heck even the first one is wrong, in fact I have yet to see even one of those lol "false" be correct.
Sorry to necro post here but I thought you should all have an update:
Adrian hired a company to milk whatever profits they can out of this game with 0 development cost. He recently released an update!
And by "update" I mean he added trading cards to steam. Why would he do this?
Well, it boosts the game into the front page under "recently updated". Additionally it lets him remove the scathing reviews about his abandonment of the project despite continued effort at monetizing it because technically it's a "new version".
Any more doubts about this guy's questionable character?

Hahaha, wow dude, wake up, it's obvious the man, Derek Smart, whom you obviously believe in, is nothing more than a false prophet (that's being gentle),
Everything on that list is correct and you know it.
One only has to look at his credentials to see what type of person he is.....
1) mail order PhD from a diploma mill. (pretty sad if he thinks that makes him look smart, pun intended) 2) Not a single game he has released is complete and has more than a 2.7 meta rating. 3) No active community in any of his games. 4) No player-base whatsoever in any of his games new or old. 5) Berates people who ask questions about his games even though they spent money on his terrible so called dated game. 6) Thinks he has all the answers when he can't even come close to have a game that's at least deemed "good", yet he thinks he could run CIG better under his leadership, that's not a joke he actually believes it. 7) Derek Smart is a has-been, wait, in order for him to be a has been he needed to be on top of his game at some point in his career, results show that's never been true so he's not a has-been, he's a nobody !

I guess it makes good mudslinging for people who hate Star Citizen
