There doesn't have to be anything to the story. He is baiting CR to sue him for libel, so that he can force CiG into discovery.Kickstarter isn't investing either. Doesn't make it not a scheme. I am not saying it is or it isn't but there has to be more to the story IF any of what he is saying is true then there is something definitely shady, illegal we shall see.
I tuned out when i read "i unfriended chris roberts"I know nothing about this guy or his issues, but when he pulls the "My net worth exceeds blah blah"...I tend to tune out.
It is possible to transfer a purchased ship, or package containing ships, to another account one time only. That doesn't make it able to be regulated as an investment vehicle.Is it possible at all to sell the ship assets?
Anyone else buying in is ALSO crowdfunding there is no differentation between the two groups when it comes to money.They're not investing, but the original Kickstarter was crowdfunding. The JOBS Act did have some SEC and/or FTC regulation for crowdfunding scams if I recall correctly.
I doubt Derek Smart is jealous of anyone, his ego is too large for that. He does love attention however and will drag any argument out to extreme lengths, even by internet standards.The dude is clearly just jealous that Chris Roberts has the money to make the game he always wanted to make and is going to try to use lawyers to exact revenge based jealousy.
I don't think he feels he failed because of his own limitations, it was because (apparently) no computer was able to encompass his mighty vision. I really don't believe this is some fit of petty jealousy, Smart is perfectly capable of making a fool of himself without that. He just loves to argue, or rather to state why he is right and everyone else is wrong.Unsuccessful People with big egos are jealous of other peoples succcess, especially when they feel superior to those people.
Pretty much. He brings up some valid points and concerns people have. It just gets lost in the amount of batshit crazy.He hasn't said or asked anything that people on this forum haven't said or asked, or people on the official forums for that matter.
Sounds like his first article didn't create the reaction he expected so he decided to go full retard and go on Facebook and unfriend Chris.
Rule 1 of the Internet is never quote, argue, or agree with that guy. C'mon man.
