Agreed, and it's basically like watching Battlecruiser 3000AD [1] happen all over again... "Battlecruiser 3000AD (also known as BC3K on Usenet) is a science fiction computer game, noted for its long, troubled development history."

Derek Smart, the author of BC3K, has been writing about Star Citizen for a while: http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/10/star-citizen-the-endgame/ http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/10/star-citizen-the-endgame/

  Derek Smart has had a long standing and documented vendetta against Chris Roberts. He's most certainly not a neutral party and his actions have been malicious at the least.

    Smart has a small amount of good points which are all likely pure coincidence: his way of communicating his point of view incites conflict. Conflict is one of the worst ways to reach a beneficial solution and this makes me strongly doubt the guy actually has the best interests of the game in mind. That being said, everyone (Backers, Roberts, Smart and Escapist) have been immature about this fiasco to varying degrees.

      But the fun benefit of Smart's posts here are just the layers and layers of beautiful schadenfreude irony of multiple pots calling kettles black. Also, with BC3K as the benchmark, Roberts could still beat Smart and if he doesn't, it will be hilarious.

        Meanwhile ED has beaten them both, quietly.
