No access to steam atm. what are you talking about?

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Nope.


Derek Smart is a videogames developer whose trademarks are:

- massive ambition and way below average delivery
- pointless mindboggling complexity posing as realism
- micromanagement of micromanagement
- disastrous bugs which never are fixed, rarther are replaced with more damaging bugs
- poor graphics and sound
- a massive unbreakable ego
- lots of spare time to defend the aforementioned ego

Well my curiosity got the better of me, I had to see how terrible it really is.

I want a refund for my wasted time and electricity.

I bought an original boxed copy of Battlecruiser 3000 A.D. when it came out (back when Electronics Boutique still had a large PC section... and actual stores). I even managed to play it for a little while. I couldn't get the game to stay running for longer than 17 minutes at a stretch.

I went back to Frontier: Elite II.

CCP has been developing EVE for 10+ years.
Derek Smart has been working on his waycomplex space sim concept, for 20+ years, largely by himself.
He has the tenacity of a bulldog.
A few similarities ;)
