Seems some employees, current and past are spilling some beans, if these genuine Heinz beans or Aldi knock offs I don't know.

You get the feeling that this is the case if you watch the presentations, he rules by fear and is an angry man. I paid £50 towards the game and i'm expecting it to be a waste of money, the dog fight module and racing are quite good but it been a while since we have had anything significant.
The money will fritter away here and there and the game as we would want to see it wont materialise. We will get something, but it wont be very good.

And laugh at some of the reviews on Glassdoor - https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Reviews/Cloud-Imperium...
"Pros
So far my time here has been amazing, I have literally been to space several times. Just last week I was hand feeding unicorns on the moon and all on the company dime! There was even a time where I slipped climbing into my space ship (Whoops!) Chris Roberts heroically jumped from the ground, caught me in mid air and then flew me back to the ground."

Meh,
Going by the development what they are doing is impressive. A bit of daily mail rubbish isn't going to make me instantly think "oh no the game will be crap". Yes things are moving slower than originally planned but then the project is pretty damn ambitious. I can see it taking a while to get it all linked together mind and the bugs will probably be abound for ages.

What does dodgy old Derek Smart have to do with all this?

Yeah, to take the Escapist to court they have to open up and prove the story is false.
The due diligence the Escapist has shown makes their story very credible.
x9 verified sources saying pretty the same thing.
No one will invest any money while the is going on.

"To be clear on further allegations: None of our sources were Derek Smart and we did not get our information from Glassdoor. However, we do know that a couple sources did post on Glassdoor after talking to Lizzy."

If you watch Jingles' latest video he summarises the situation as well as mentioning in passing Smart's Battlecruiser 3000AD.
As a result I went and read the escapist's articles as well as RSI responses. It does look as though it might get more than a little messy.
I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to get Battlecruiser Millennium running on my new sooper-dooper gaming rig, as ever it was a frustrating round of glitches and crashes. Real shame, loved that game for years, when it would run.As a result I went and read the escapist's articles as well as RSI responses. It does look as though it might get more than a little messy.
I like the irony of Derek Smart critisising someone for overpromising and under-delivering. He's making himself out to be some "champion of the people" with this Roberts/Star Citizen project, but as mentioned, he's just a washed up dev looking for some limelight.
With SC, this lawsuit is crazy - it'll just pointlessly soak up all the investor money which is looking pretty short as it is.
As for ex-employees - every large corporation has some disguntled ex employess. Par for the course, it's just the way it goes. And I've yet to see any actual proof; surely if you get emails calling you names, first thing you do is keep a copy!
