Whales gonna be whales, let them fund the game I enjoy, what we know now is they are putting in more money than before. I don’t complain.

I like watching things crash. SC has been a years long epic slow-motion crash that's hard to take your eyes off.

To be fair I do not think "better guesstimate" than whatever you prefer to use to compare can quite cut it either. CIG´s own released info has shown lacking quite often. Hugely so in many cases. Here you have one of the latest examples suggesting CIG´s own published info is probably as unreliable as any other rumorology you can find here or elsewhere. Similarly there is so far no evidence either that CIG´s statements about their finances are anywhere as accurate as we would like them to be.
For example and as a start the financial info lacks fundamental standard reporting elements such as a balance sheet for the parent allowing you to see things like debt outstanding and other liabilities etc, or an actual auditor sign off following recognised procedures and without which it is hard to ascertain the actual validity and source of some of the figures, among other things.
I do not doubt they indeed have cash inflows. But with the incomplete (and more than likely very biased) info available so far is really not possible to determine there is "enough cash flow" to avoid any kind of loss of control (partial or full) in the project at some point as you suggest I am afraid.
I meant, have a drink, a shot you know. This is not a contestI don’t think I need to mate, you keep shooting yourself in the foot
edit: you have a bingo card, don’t you?

That’s the thing, so much speculation, seriously, personally, I don’t care. They are still going, I like what I see, let them do their thing. That’s how I think about it. Way too much conspiracies here.
Right in the presentation. Nothing of any use was demonstrated. Only a massive waste of coder and artist time.
These are not game masters. This is not an event. It's the game designers setting basic parameters that will drive the entire game world. These are things that are done by spreadsheets, preferably by an actual economist.
630 employees now
There is nothing to suggest this and a lot to suggest the exact opposite.
Have you tried not being obsessed? Or medication? Or just reading the thread, where you'll notice that the “obsession” you obsessively return to only exists in your head.
There is no need for a guesstimate when we have CI¬G's own numbers, which have consistently shown them operating at a significant loss for the last couple of years. Hence the need for the constant loans, for seeking new investors, and for selling off larger and larger portions of the company that backer money built.
The only actual fact we have at our disposal is that they have consistently not had enough cashflow.

Damn, top lawyer, developer, economist and psychiatrist. You must make mad money
That’s actually pretty impressive
I expect the wage bill is
Sorry that reality isn't on your side. Attacking the people telling you this only further highlights how you have nothing to bring to the conversation.
The more employees, the quicker they will burn through the money.
Does this include outside contractors?
Its the question imo. I dont think anybody thinks a game is due for release soon and one reality glance at accounts sees they have 6 months operating at best of year, sometimes a lot less. This is normal and the 'turnover' is usually provided by something being sold, a product or service, how long will the customer base keep spending for what they are getting?
Its against all logic, its more a religion, but there is a tipping point as the potential customer base is limited.
Says the guy who attacks everyone that dares to have “fun” in the PU. Whatever man, there are a lot more enjoyable people to talk to than you. You do you, have a nice day.
