I'm not a total hater of Corv. Let me explain. There is some Sigma Grindset here that works in some great funny. (Not the ex-wife part.)
If you were castigated from the Shroud of the Avatar community because those still faithful to Lord British were doing their keeping up appearances by burning the heretics, what better way to get back at them? Using their own cargo cult of personality icon against them? Taking their money to string them along in updates as empty as the single-player development for Shroud? Having them make the same excuses for your "development problems" as they once did for Richard Garriott?
Corv went from critic on Reddit to deleting all his posts and somehow cozying up to the same guy he was roasting for years. Imagine if I were to suddenly announce RG on anything I was involved with. Right? That's how hard he flipped from critic to collaborator.
All it took was Lord British's endorsement and the bait was ready to be bitten. It was bitten: the same people who once loathed Corv and what he wrote were now giving him money and hanging on his every word. Now they are defending HIS act like they once, and still, follow RG.
Corven was actually quite brilliant in that regard. Get Lord Dicked, nerds! (Again.)
