Well Played: Derek Smart

For more than 2.5 years Derek Smart has been relentlessly
criticising and mocking the Star Citizen Project and its
management-team. Much has been written about his claim that Cloud
Imperium Games (CIG) will never be able to deliver the game they
promised after a scope-increase. However it remains unclear why
Smart has chosen to invest massive amounts of time into an endless
twitter-campaign against CIG and extensive blogs that can shift in
tone from rational to mocking or angry within a few paragraphs. In
this interview we asked him to talk about himself, his career as a
game-developer, his hunt for his „white whale“ of the
all-encompassing space-simulation-game and try to get a better idea
of what drives him to do what he does.
