That's the single greatest paragraph I've ever read.
RSI's response is great:

Looks like RSI finally got fed up of this clown's antics. You don't come back from a letter like this.

That should do it.

You don't know Derek Smart. He won't come back well, and he's only going to dig the hole deeper, but seriously, the day Derek Smart actually let's something go is gonna be the day Derek Smart releases a working game.
Ok that's three name drops, that should be enough to summon him.
It is glad to see Derek Smart still inspires the same reaction it does for me even 10+ years later.
i bet if you told him to join Gaf....for a fight...he'd do it.
When all life has perished and the heat death of the universe draws near, only this will remainDerek Smart

You do know your stuff. The SomethingAwful tread had a link to the alleged response from Smarts side to that ether-y letter.

Lots of duudaa in it, but my reading of it can be TLR to "No, you." All in all, nowhere near the entertainment value and I still don't see much actual, sturdy legal backing behind it, beside all the pretty words.

Your client's defamatory claims are entirely without merit and include unfounded allegations that the funds raised for the project were used improperly, even fraudulently. In this vain, your client is now asking for a "forensic accounting" to be made available to him. Firstly, there is obviously no legal basis for your client's request and your letter cites no such authority. Secondly, the ample information provided regularly on our extensive website, including monthly progress reports from each studio, published headcounts and the like, would enable any person familiar with the cost of game development to assess the proper spending of the funds raised. Your client claims to be such an experienced person, so we are a bit perplexed about this demand coming in particular from him. However, your client's past career performance, including struggles with tax liens and a bankruptcy proceeding, begs the question what makes him think that he is even qualified to review and properly assess the information demanded by him. The complete absence of any functioning or successful game having ever been released by him in his 20+ year "career" of game development further raises the question why he would consider himself qualified to cast any judgment on "Star Citizen." Unlike his endeavors in the game development field, "Star Citizen" and the modules and work released to date have received enthusiastic responses in the game community and press, a success that continues unimpeded despite your client's desperate efforts to harm it for his own publicity gains.

Wow.
Passing the word back hard! This letter is far better then the one RSI sent him.
Pretty damming
....There's a juicy bit about Chris's failed films and a self admission that he wished someone would have sat him down and made him reign in his crazy ideas.
Fight!
Encourages people to seek refunds for Star Citizen while refusing to give them for his own game and banning people who comment on it.
This is from this month: http://steamcommunity.com/app/266620/discussions/0/520518053453055651/
Derek Smart's Line of Defense has been in development for over five years and one year in early-access.The game has been in development, according to Mr. Roberts himself, for more than four years (one year prior to the Kickstarter Campaign);
Yeah, because after five years of development, Line of Defense is looking so much better.In four years, no game has been delivered, other than three incomplete and buggy components;
And I want to protect people from wasting their money on his waste of resources under the name of Line of Defense with the majority of people responding overly negative about the game's quality and are asking for refunds - OH WAIT, Derek doesn't allow for refunds.What he is interested in, however, is protecting the integrity of the gaming industry, and protecting the thousands of people that have invested in the Star Citizen project and who want a game or their investment
Wow.

They should focus on Star Citizen instead of this space cadet

I was so on the edge of my seat during that letter that I got sued by Tim Langdell
However you feel about Smart, I do feel like he's being honest here with these recent firings and the stuff going down behind the scenes at RSI. Something is terribly wrong there.
Someone leaked an internal document(said to be legit by various sources) that says RSI only has 8 million in the bank and will burn through it by Q1 2016.

If this turns out to be true, this will go down as the largest failure ever of a crowdfunding campaign(there's no way the game can get finished by Q1 2016)

Derek Dumb said:In the meantime, to those of you affected by this, don't even bother with attorneys or suing them. I got this.
please don't say things like this
this terrifies me
No offense, but there is no evidence that anything is problematic at RSI and spreading rumors based on stuff that smart writes is down rigth purposefully deceitful at this point.If there's smoke, there's fire? I remember a few months back when there was news that some significant team members left quickly(which this seems to collaborate Smart's update today). This seems to have been tied to the leaking or discovery of a bank statement that showed only 8 million left in the bank. RSI is said to be burning through 3 million plus a month for all their studios and employees. So they'd most likely be "broke" by Q1 2016.
I'm a Star Citizen backer and I'll tell you. There's hardly any content imho. The "social hub" is a joke. Everything just feels empty or rushed. I'll probably ask for a refund.
Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

Sounds like your pulling a derek smart. Passing things that you think is "legit" as proof and saying your a backer.If there's smoke, there's fire?
