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.
Best rip on Derek is from the 3D GURU guy that posted
"No thanks. Seeing this IP go into your hands would be like seeing World of Warcraft selling out to SOE.
Best thing is, Derek cant come here and try to get his little Anti Derek post locked, because he isn't sucking the cock of the admins here. And the admins here dont give a shit.
So Derek...have fun seeing what the general gaming public thinks of you!
If there is ever a chance of this genre making a comeback, you end up putting out trash title after trash title, so when a decent idea might come along, no one is willing to take the risk because they see how poor your titles are, then stereotype the genre as dead.
Just do everyone a favor and get out of the industry. You are not a good gamer designer, no matter what that ego of yours wants to tell you this week."
