I missed that stuff myself, tho. basically, his games are appaerantly crap (wouldn't know, the swedish toll services probably stopped it at the border, whence I've never even seen it), and he's wanting to pick up the rights for freespace and make some kind of freespace3 out of it while insulting the small fanbase the games have.

Derek Smart is the creator of the BattleCruiser series of games. A while back he suggested that he wanted to get the license to make FS3 from Interplay and all hell broke loose.

The problem is that DS is not a well respected man in the gaming community. He has a reputation for being rude and arrogant and there are a lot of people who hate his games (the review scores tend to average around 60% or lower).

DS has since backed off of the idea and most of the community leave him alone (apart from the odd joke about him).

Anyway :welcome:

IF you haven't tried FS2_Open go take a look at the SCP forum.

Derek Smart. Derek Smart. DEREK SMART.

He is the alpha and omega.
Life and death.
Black and white.
Yin and yang.
The beginning and the end.
Order and anarchy.
The little death that brings total obliteration, the Big Crunch, the little worms and the cosmic storms, everything that must and should not be, pure chaos preserving the forms of universe as we know it, Azatoth, messenger of elder Gods.

You cannot ask "who" Derek Smart is. You must understand that he has been, is and will be.

you probably just joined on a good day... the freespace community has been known to be a little mean to newbies sometimes.

To sum up:

Derek Smart makes video games.  He thinks he's a genius, a few people (frothing at the mouth uberfans) think so too.  Most of the rest of the world, not so much.  Many of them, not at all.

That's not his real claim to fame however.  His real claim is his unerring ability to know whenever someone, anyone makes any comment about him anywhere on the internet.  No one knows how he does it, and most don't really want to know.  Because he knows everything everyone ever says about him, he suffers from a sever case of overreacting to, well, everything.  Call him a genius and he'll come in, screaming about what a genius he is.  Call him and asshole, and he'll threaten (though not follow through) to sue you.

In other words, without even counting his threats to this community, he's the world's loudest internet jerk (won't say biggest, because there's got to be someone bigger, we just hear about this guy more).  Either you love him, hate him, or don't know he exists.  Those in the third catagory are reguarded as lucky by the second.
