Ok!
“In this game design class, Will teaches you how to create games that empower players and unleash their imagination.”
What a chump. He obviously knows nothing about game design.
Let's improve on that:
“In this game design class, Chris teaches you how to unleash player wallets to empower your imagination by implying you create games.”

not quite Madoffesque. But could be getting there. Especially if Covid-19 accepts Murphy's Law invite to his exclusive tea bagging party for the gaming industry this fall
Will as in Will Wright the genius who birthed all things in the Sims universe and Spore too? Oh man. That guy's innovative pool of capital positively radiates genius incandescence.
Forgot about that great series he had on the web. Chris could genuinely learn from this guy as an industry pioneer. I'm still baffeled as to why the vets in the industry haven't tried reaching out to him to date. Specifically why none of his former mentors from his Origin days the likes of Lord British (aka Richard Garriot) haven't privately stepped in to counsel and save him from himself to date.
I'm not.
They must know him well enough to know that he won't listen, can't be reasoned with, won't learn and absolutely can not be stopped. Not without the intervention of a Terminator. Puns intended.
Besides what respected industry vet would want to sully their reputation by getting involved?

Not really a good idea invoking Garriot considering what happened with SotA.
Well, given
Garriott's first pitch/announcement of SoTA in 2013 (1 year after Chris) and
successful kickstarter fundraising: $1.9M from original Ultima series fan bois like me (who think Lord British = immortal) and
official game release: March 2018 v. CI which has yet to release anything SC related to date <--- SoTA released as a fully functional, highly interactive world with non grind RPG game play i.e. in spirit of classic Ultima series game play and
completely ignoring the F2P/online store developments to date
then
Yeah. No.

Garriott sold everything on to another company and the game got a compromised 3-star release though no?
I mean I guess he found an escape hatch and got some cash though, so maybe Chris would listen
Honestly I get the impression Garriott doesn’t really like CR though. Even way back in the ‘make that pixel green’ talk with Spector he’s flinging the backhanded compliments out about Chris’s dictatorial style.
Add in the ‘how to patronise the son of a spaceman’ chat, and just... I dunno. I wouldn’t talk to CR...
I'm prepared to receive fire on this statement, but as Chris has been obsessed with making the WW2 pacific theatre, but in SPACE on paper he should be the man to deliver on the space military carrier gameplay concept.
That's a pretty neat TL;DR of these last 370 pages, plus all the 10 threads that came before.
You know, at least Hot Shots! did stuff like that on purpose.
At least the girl in that first scene (Saffron Burrows) telling the crew to push the wreckage off the deck went on to get a further pouty lipped speaking part as Eric Bana's missus in Troy.
Still love that film...Troy...not Wing Commander

At 1:40 really embarrassing. Chris attempts to sell and pontificate his psuedo scientific views about how COG motion works from perspective of Enders Game. Playing his role of the former good mentor, Garriott gently corrects Chris delusional understanding of how the COG is supposed to behave according to Newtonian mechanics. You can tell Chris realizes his inadvertent brainfart was nuttier than squirrel poo from the way his fingers kept betraying himGarriott sold everything on to another company and the game got a compromised 3-star release though no?

Oddly, there are people who like that sort of gameplay.
You usually find them sat on DCS servers acting as the AWACS unit/task force commander, or delivering virtual food to their units FOB out in the field in ArmA by Helo.
So now Erin is supposedly in charge of Star Citizen and not SQ42 anymore though CIG releases another Pillar Talk focused on SC 3.9 but without him. Color me surprised...
Further to my last, here are some folk I know who are setting a FOB up in ArmA now
This doesn't smack of reorganising the deckchairs on the Titanic. Nope. Not a jot.
Anyone got a bucket?
Is the next stretch goal for musicians playing 'Abide with Me'?
