Talk:Chris Roberts (video game developer)

message: The title is simply going to confuse people. "He is best known for creating the popular Wing Commander series while employed at Origin Systems." Is it (film producer) simply because that's what he does now?68.32.5.81 (talk) 07:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - he is best known for his video games. It seems the disambiguation was added by somebody who quickly scanned the article to see what he does (it was originally just titled Chris Roberts). If he had recently become a lawyer but the whole article was about his time as a video game programmer, would the title be Chris Roberts (lawyer)?Retro junkie (talk) 00:54, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Moot at this point, since he's gone back to being a game developer again... not that future films are out of the question, but none being produced right now. 24.245.39.96 (talk) 03:55, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Star Citizen sources 

message: Hi,
So about the edit about him being the director of wing commander it says it on the actual page of wing commander 1990, and may I ask what sources are reliable? 220.244.237.205 (talk) 02:23, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide the youtube link. Credits from the game on Youtube is fine to validate them. I cannot find a video of the first game myself, but the credits I can find for WC1 do not list a Director at all. He is Lead Designer. Original Privateer credits likely have him only as Executive Productor and "original design" -- ferret (talk) 12:18, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
