I'm happy so many people threw away their cash so we can see Roberts go full Lucas. He originally invited the Escapist to tour the studios but decided a lawsuit was the better option 2 days later. Complaints about "infliction of emotional distress" on his wife. She's hired 2 black people (neither of which are specified to be black girls) and works with 1, yes 1 whole, person over the age of 40 and 2 are close to 40 (they're probably 35). And of course the conspiracy theory that Smart is behind it all is in there because God only knows he's being set up to be the fall boy for this trainwreck. He also basically says they should never talk to ex-employees for a story (when it's against him). Other places turned it down? No shit Kotaku and RPS probably wouldn't touch this with a 10-foot pole because they know how insane the backers are and they can get the same traffic writing an article about how the latest Ubisoft AAA shit is anti black/woman/trans. Claims Robert is not disputing:

- having 8 million dollars left
- wasting a lot of money on actors for cut scenes
- sending emails with a lot of profanity
- wasting money in general (like baseless lawsuits)

CS3 stated that it wasn't uncommon practice to round up four or five people to review an email intended for Roberts, to make sure there was nothing potentially upsetting in the wording. "His immediate response to everything was to insult people, and accuse everyone of being idiots," he said. "It was like the Eye of Sauron. You never wanted to say anything in an email or a meeting that would bring the Eye of Sauron on you. He couldn't control his temper, and had no problem making a public scene of it."


Roberts is indirectly confirming almost everything in this article.
