Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.
Check my other comment, I found a quote saying they have about 1000 employees. At $100k/yr average salary, that’s about $100M/yr just to pay the salaries. Even if they underpay at $50k/yr, thats $50M/yr. That money is simply being burned. This whole project is a classic example of feature creep and sunk cost fallacy.
They aren’t laundering money. No. They’re basically just setting it on fire.
See, Chris Roberts is the king of feature creep. He keeps wanting to add in the new shiny while not paying attention to finishing the shit that’s already on the list.
They’ve also thrown out previous work to start over again more than once.
Star Citizen needs something like what happened to Freelancer if they ever want to release: change of management. It suffered the exact same feature creep and that only ended when Microsoft stepped in and ousted Roberts
