There are some really unhinged "backers" who will simply lose their minds when their dream world evaporates.
They may well lose their minds but I think they'd just scapegoat (like many already are) and blame Derek for the entire collapse. That despite the fact that he , and I'm sure many of us here share the sentiment, has stated he would love to play the game CIG promised. We just know it's not going to happen.
Thing is, I don't have any reason to believe that they would blame me for the collapse; as that would be having to face the reality that one man (who they say is old, cranky, a failed inconsequential gamedev) was able to cause the destruction of a $156M+ project. It's as laughable as it sounds. But since most of the usual suspects are fucking morons, those guys probably would try to pin it on me. And Goons <----
Since July 2015 when I wrote that first blog saying that this problem was completely off-track when Croberts over-scoped it, I have been under siege by the usual suspects. But given my industry history and rep, I normally wouldn't take such a bold stance if I wasn't at least 90% certain that I was right. As time moved on, I got 100% convinced that I was right. And CIG keeps helping to prove that, each passing day.
The issue now is not
when the final collapse will come; it's
what form it will take. I still don't buy into the slow burn death spiral, as that's what I have already deemed to be the on-going E.L.E. I believe that it will be a singular event that's already in the works, and which I can't say much about.
