– In which good ol’ Derek was in fact the very best thing to happen to the Stars, precisely because he had stars in his eyes (aka a permanent derp rage hard0n) and it turned out his near constant ranting about the game – it’s state of permanent rentier capitalism / cargo-cult-monitizing feature creep (aka ‘aaa gamedev as a service‘) – was the very thing needed to keep the horrible undead conceptual slow motion car crash (space ship) dream alive

In a post-truth age where the fact-based community is in the wane and the only news mouthbreathing neckbeard fanboi whales with more disposable cash than brain cells want to hear is fake news (aka update patch notes), the internal look of manic glee on oh-so smart citizen “Derek” acted as a catalyst fueling the very zombified dream he remotely imagined he was fighting against – not irony but destiny
