Smart? No. Liz? No. Gamergate? Yes.
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Worm"]might be the crazy ones? I mean sure SC looks like vaporware bit it still is more impressive than <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7n29gEV18w">the garbage</a> that smart releases. I'm really willing to believe the Star Citizen guy is full of shit and going to get sued to death, but Smart obviously has a chip on his shoulder because this guy is succeeding (In a Bernie Madoff way for all we know) and he's always been a joke(and continues to be one having to use Gamergate to stay relevant).[/quote] I can't believe Chris Roberts wrote all that, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I mean, prove it to me and I still won't believe it! Smart sees what vaporware Star Citizen will do to space sims, so there's some motivation. Maybe the genre is too big for one company to destroy it (shooters were fine when Duke Nukem Forever became a joke) but they made it personal by refunding him without an explanation. Smart being the one guy to get a refund on Kickstarter is another reason why I like him. But <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3ncm5x/ethics_gone_home_developer_banned_user_from_steam/">here's</a> a thread on KotakuInAction where some dipshit is clutching pearls because the developers of Gone Home - a game that KiA has bitched about since day one - banned a guy from the discussion on Steam who took a shot on the game. Boo fucking hoo. These idiots at KiA want to be able to libel everything they don't like (and while I've not played Gone Home, it looks terrible and the fact that so many journos promoted it IS why Gamergate is stil going) and then cry like entitled pieces of shit when someone gets sick of their constant shots and blocks their ass. The people that made Gone Home wanted one goddamn Saturday two years after release without getting torn apart in the comments <b>of the store they sell their wares at</b> and those spoiled little children couldn't give them it. It really makes everything they rally around a joke. It's enough to make you take Ghazi's side- pardon? They rallied around a self-confessed unrepentant pedo? Ah. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote]
