Insider gets called out by drive club Director; apologizes, gets lifetime ban by neogaf founder

Earlier this week famousmortmier a well known gaf insider, gave some supposed inside information as to why the drive club director left.

Saying:

The director of Driveclub doesn’t deliver the game on time. Given more time the game still needs work. He is replaced.

"Col Rogers (driveclub) is about failing to deliver. Taken on their own they all make sense. Combine them together and you get glenn beck with a chalkboard.”

As a response the drive club developer himself Col Rogers joined gaf and countered famousmort’s claim saying that he left because his son was diagnosed with a life threatening condition:

Hello, all.

This is my first post on NeoGAF, and whilst I’m not generally one to deal in internet speculation, I have to put the record straight with regard to Pete Dodd’s comments above.

Everything he has said with regard to myself and Driveclub is incorrect. It’s also libellous.

As Putty (who is a personal friend of mine, and has been for about 25 years) suggests, I left Evo in February for personal reasons. The personal reasons being that my son, who is 4 years old, has been diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, which is a potentially life threatening condition. I live 220 miles (4 hours drive) away from Evolution Studios, and was away from home 5.5 days a week. Given the circumstances, I could not continue to work there.

Driveclub is a great game, and the direction hasn’t changed since my departure. This has been confirmed by SONY in various press releases over recent days.

I have no problem in dealing with very large projects, as I’ve been working in the games industry for the last 19 years, and have worked on some very prestigious titles, so there is genuinely no truth to anything posted by Mr Dodds at all. My departure (and indeed the setup of my ‘indie’ operation, BigRedSwitch) is 100% driven by family necessity, not some professional failing on my part.

I left SONY on very good terms. There is no animosity there, and I was absolutely nothing to do with the recent redundancies – in fact, the news of those redundancies was probably linked on here before I knew about them.

The games industry is a tough place at the moment. My circumstances with my son mean that I’ve had to leave secure work in order to try to make my own way in the world. This may entail getting another job. With people who obviously know nothing about the situation blackening my reputation for the sake of internet ‘fame’, this could be made much more difficult. It’s nothing less than trolling.

I’ve contacted Mr. Dodd on his email address on his site. Due to the factual inaccuracy of his statements, I’ve informed him that he needs to remove the statements and apologise for the damage they have caused, as posting incorrect information and claiming it’s true is quite simply libel.

I’m sure you can all appreciate just how difficult things are for myself and my family at the moment. I’d genuinely appreciate it if you can take my statements as word from the origin, and realise that there has been no big cover-up when it comes to my departure from SONY/Evo.

Thanks, all.

Col.

As a result of this famousmortmier has apologized to Col on twitter and declared on his twitter that he is no longer an insider, and has subsequently been banned as a neogaf member by the neogaf founder himself.

元の文章が長いですので要点のみの説明です。

Pete Doddが「ドライブクラブのディレクターが退職したのは彼が無能だったのが原因。ソニーが怒ってリストラした」と妄想を発信（この部分の書き込みはすでに修正されています）

その妄想に対してドライブクラブのディレクターが「自分が退職したのは重い病気の息子のため。事実無根でソニーは怒ってなどいないとNeoGAFにメールを発信。

それを受け取ったNeoGAFがバッシングの元記事を修正＆謝罪。そして誇大妄想狂PeteDoddが永久追放処分となりました。
