They’ve made $600M. How is that fucking up a golden ticket? They’ve all been getting paid well for years. The people who spent money are the ones who don’t have a finished game. That probably doesn’t matter to the people who’ve paid off a large chunk of their mortgages in the meantime.
Sure, they’ve got money from all the good will they’re soaking up, but at some point that good will and money will dry up…
If/when they finally do release a game, it’s now got to not just compare to a whole full genre of games, it’s got to be better than them in order to get that good will back.
Who cares about good will? If they release and people get pissed at the finished product then “shutter” the studio, take everyone to a “new” studio and work on another game with the experience and cash you got from SC

It’s been this long and people are still donating, they have no reason to change course.
