Derek 'Smart' speaks out?

The only good thing about the game was the AD that ran when I was a kid:

Battlecruiser 3000AD - The game other people rub on their genitals. Buy today! Wear gloves!

Great concept. Poor execution. I think it speaks volumes that we have all heard of it and liked the idea. Is this why were all die hard SC fans?

Well, following the article published by The Escapist, which appeared to be nothing more than a "friend" of Derek Smart repeating everything he said, and quoting several fake posts from GlassDoor, it looks like Chris Roberts has had enough and fired back:

I'm not sure whether or not this was a good idea, as DS seems to be delighted with the response, but I guess you can only push someone so far.

I really hope that CIG bury this guy.  He really is an absolute troll and a bully to boot.

Wow... i'm pretty sure he's debunked the entire basis of the accusations there. What a waste of time this is all being.

As an outsider taking an interest, Derek Smart sounds like the Ron Pickering of the game dev world.

Who?

Who?

I was just thinking the same myself.
