What does the number of employees have to do with not having a finished product while also being the highest funded game in history? By this logic I am sure since FTX had 650 employees they must be all above board, if that was all some ponzi scheme they why the staff?
I’m refering to the “star citizen is a scam” echo chaber. If it was truely a scam they would keep the dev team small and not spend the money they do. This does not mean there are not problems with the development and even out of touch leadership. But saying it’s a intentiononal scam is just not true, they have tech nobody is even trying to do (at least in the open) and some of that tech is out now. There are a lot of good reasons nobody has tried something like this, but i’m tired of an indistry playing safe and only doing what has worked in the past. I am all for someone trying something that is auctally new that has not been tried, and there’s going to be problems along the way. So I don’t understand the black and white “Star Citizen bad” when they have been making playable progress. SC could close tomorrow and I would have already gotten enough value to justify my orignial purchace.
