In the real world you can fanboy/girl all you want but little to zero MEANUNGFUL progress is being made. Saying xxx took a long time to develop means nothing when xxx is released and SC is still barely an Alpha. Star Citizen cannot be compared with anything that HAS been released until it itself HAS been released. Sqn42 is paid for by backers and the potential now exists for a bank to take it. Imagine you loan a car to a friend and then that friend uses the car as security for a loan and then your friend fails to pay the loan… you lose your car. Taking out a bank loan and using Squadron 42 as the collateral, let me explain this if you don't understand… Perpetually releasing new ships to generate more funding, but showing near zero progress on the game itselfĪll the high paid positions at CIG held by family members and close friends, rather than more capable and qualified people Perpetually being vastly overdue with everything Not releasing financials as promised to backers
That said I'm a realist, and am not going to be blinded by wishful hype. I'm not sitting here online flinging shit at SC just for giggles, I have money invested in it, have had for years. Regardless of their issues they were managed better and have come from nothing to completion and in the case of CyberPunk even been dramatically improved in much less time that it took CIG to build a tech And if it happens I'll be delighted, but at this point ignoring the media and doing ones own research leads to some seriously concerning conclusions about how backer money is being used. Games like Battlefield and Cyberpunk cannot be held as a fair comparison. With his family members and close friends holding high paying key roles and with too little to show for the money that has been spent it's completely right to start asking questions. With Roberts burning through funds at an unsustainable rate, refusing the transparency with the funds that was promised and handing over the IP of Sqn42 as collateral for a new loan it's pretty clear that this is being managed badly at best. I like the idea of Star Citizen, and i think crowd funding can work for some things, but at some point you have to call it as it is. Agreed, is comparing quality and maintenance (servers etc) of released titles vs a title that is not even remotely close to release, and has drastically smashed past every bullshit milestone on their present but completely bullshit roadmap without even coming close to honouring any commitment.
