No, they can't do that. Since they claim Derek is just an old retarded failed washed-out jealous wanna be developer with the hots on for Sandi that is of no consequence whatsoever - feel free to add more things here Derek - he cannot singlehandedly be responsible for the downfall of a game that crowdfunded more than 160 million. Does. Not. Compute.
I think you got most of it covered. Good job.
Even if they did, if Derek was right because of his own doing(s), that still means he was right. They can't argue with that fact :D
Wanna bet? Never underestimate the power of idiocy. It's almost as if you haven't been to /r/ds or /r/starcitizen :eng101: :lol:
But, we all know their responses:
"If only CIG had had more time, they actually could have made the BDSSE. But all those people - who don't know anything about game development - were too impatient to give Chris a real fighting chance. With 160 million and six years, it's no wonder the game still wasn't finished. Of course that wasn't enough time nor money. If all those impatient people hadn't asked for a refund, Chris probably would have made it. It's their fault, those stinky leavers. And of course, that fucking Derek too. You know, the guy who started it all. Let's hope Chris hasn't given up on his (our!) dream and maybe he'll try again. He still got the rights, doesn't he? I'll back him!"
Yes, that's precisely how I think they will spin it, while conveniently forgetting the fact that 1) I had said in the July Blog that they couldn't possible build the overscoped game for less than $150 million 2) that even with over $150 million, they still couldn't build it 3) Croberts stated at $65M (Nov 2014), that was all they needed to build that scope 5) Croberts stated that they had money in reserves, and if funding stopped, they could still finish the games
I do wonder how the R/DS will handle the crashing and burning of CIG. There's a bunch of utter lunatics there obsessed with putting Derek down. How they are gonna handle the fact that after all their endless comments on Derek being wrong, he actually was right? Best guess, they can't, and kill themselves. Which actually isn't so bad come to think of it. They're doing themselves as much a favor as us.
I think those /r/ds ass-clowns are mostly going to be the ones who are going to be pushing the narrative you outlined above.
Also, as I am planning on filing a John Doe lawsuit against a group of those engaged in blatant defamation, seeing as the very existence of the Reddit and the posters there already met the most important bar for "statements with malicious intent", if nothing else, that's what we're going to be talking about post-collapse because it will most certainly get media coverage alongside the "Derek Smart was right" narrative because they setup a hate Reddit for the sole purpose of engaging in targeted harassment against someone writing bad stuff about their failed video game. Reddit knows I'm coming. Reddit admins know I'm coming. The Reddit /r/ds mods know I'm coming.
