      Yes, landing is difficult.

      There is delaying to release a higher quality product and delaying while having features creep… Not the same thing.

      Nah star citizen was a scam first, game second. If it ever produces a game it will have been purely incidental to continuing to run the scam and milk those whales

      I kind of believe Chris Roberts himself is just an overambitious perfectionist. He pulled the same kind of bullshit with Freelancer, which only released because Microsoft put its foot down.

      I can also believe that a lot of the top people around him are grifters feeding his ambition and perfectionism to keep the gravy train running.

      Either way, they got my Kickstarter money so the only entertainment I’ll ever get from that game is opining about it like I know anything.
