You have to hope the success and money raised so far is enough to fix the problems

After twelve years and $600 million in development, people should have "hope"? Chris Roberts is taking people's "hope" straight to the bank.

Cloud Imperium is not a tiny company. I believe it has about 1000 employees at this point, which means that the 600m has mostly gone to keeping the company going.

Chis Roberts is burning the cash rather than pocketing it. He loves his feature creep, and which forces devs to redo work. They've thrown most of the game out and coded it from almost scratch twice?

Every single Chris Roberts project has been like this. Development hell with new shit being added and no deadline in sight.

Spoken with the authority of quite blatantly never having played it.

If you say so. And of course all any have to do is go on youtube or twitch to prove that isn't an accurate report of the state. But as long as it makes you feel better to say that.
