Derek Smart and Freespace 3? [Jul 15, 2004, 7:33 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A speculative
question from 3000 AD's Derek Smart on the Adrenaline Vault Forums (thanks
Rake) polls interest in him acquiring the rights to Freespace 3, making the
following statements in a pair of posts:
....Derek Smart, yeah, that would be me, got the license from my friends at Interplay (a publisher I had very good experiences with); would you buy Freespace 3 if I made it?
Discuss. Rave. Rant. Argue. But this is something I am seriously considering, given that it looks like Interplay has started off loading properties (starting with Fallout3). I mean, just think. Would you rather see this legacy license fall into the wrong hands?
...
I have already contacted my Interplay contact about it btw.
You guys should skim through that forum, it hillarious. First DS asks if anybody would go for it if he dev'd. The asslicking and ego feeding begins but then the dissidents begin to arrive and our boy loses his cool as usual. (I love that he's so predictable) Long story short...
He goes from would you buy my game? Input please. To this in less than 6 pages.

Absolutely positively do not touch the freespace franchise. We're terribly sorry but we have never been impressed with your work and we will not accept any freespace game developed by you.
One Derek to another: Keep your hands off

Derek. Siddown.
First of, nobody asked you.
Second, you have NO say in it.
Thirdly, as soon as you evolve from the small corner of the obscure part of the net and start actually writing your own original works instead of working off someone else's code base (the Freespace2 code), you can talk about what you want, can and cannot do etc.
So, please, spare me the crap. You're not impressing me or anyone.
.....we will not accept any freespace game developed by you.
That made me laugh so hard, I spewed coffee through my nose. No, really.
One Derek to another: STFU
It's good to have him back ain't it?
