I doubt Tyler Witless crashes often. He's too busy being excited for roadmap and playing Sq42 levels.

I think like you. If they make a game engine it will only be for them, like the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine is only used by Rockstar.
I work in development since 30 years (98% web) and make some little games for my pleasure (my first lines of code with C64 but really started to code with AmosBasic).

So why do you keep making up fantasies that were disproven long before that and reject standard knowledge that anyone with any measure of development knowledge will know? Is it because CI¬G are clueless in the field of development and toeing the party line is more important than sticking to what you've known for decades?
Brook's law states that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later". SC is a late project. Whether they care or not is immaterial — it only helps explain why they're doing something so idiotic as trying to solve their lateness by adding manpower. They, like you, believe that more teams working in parallel on same work with same tools = faster delivery of systems. The book explains very clearly why this does not actually happen, especially not once you've already a immensely over-bloated team. You should re-read it.

Its eiher that or complete failure. Star Citizen doesnt allow for a middle ground....starting with the debate about it.
I don't know one game company that can push deadlines at will for several years. So they effectively manage the project in a way never been done before and they don't care about some common rules of managment.
Steady on. it's not like they promised to be open and transparent and had some big statement abo...oh wait.
Umm, no. Projects have been managed badly to come in over budget and late forever
That makes sense if all they have to do is make content. The problem is that the underlying engine (and, by extension, the tools) are constantly changing - resulting in existing content breaking, and in-progress content having to be constantly reworked to keep up... Not to mention the other parts of the engine that are dependent on the things being altered. Parallelisation works when the different parts are not dependent on each other (or at least, the co-dependent parts aren't changing) - that isn't really the case here...
Blizzard. And CI¬G not caring about common rules of management is just what makes them profoundly incompetent and even outright stupid.
Your English teacher would be ragging you over this one!
Since is used with a specific date. For is used for durations. Also tense is wrong.
I have worked in development for 30 years
OR
I have worked in development since 1990
But... but... staggered development.
Also, perhaps i was hasty when i talked about young people learning bad development at the knee of the Code Whisperer. It appears even experienced people can suffer the brain worms that are induced by listening to too much Roberts.
Well that doesn't guarantee a positive output unfortunately. "NASA has hard times reaching Mars by throwing things at the sky, maybe if we dig deep enough in the ground we can reach it, and even further, before them!"
So, CIG haven't commented the passing of their own deadline?
MOST TRANSPARENT COMPANY EVER!
There is no such thing as overqualified Chief Trolling Officer

Dear sir, I'm surprised that you, having 35 years of coding experience, think that technology doesn't get obsolete.
I'm even more surprised that you put overdue and 'no deadlines' together - one can't be overdue if there is no due. SC is not overdue, it is late.
By the way, you are directly contradicting Saint Roberts himself, who said that game becomes stall if developed longer than 4 years. Even counting from "reboot" (surprised again that you believe in that cowpiss), we are already here.
But again, Christopher was in this business not as long as you, dear sir, even if we don't count all his downtimes, therefore you sound more plausible, and your own words show that Roberts is a liar.
That explains why tools aren't solid and teams are incompetent - predictable with leadership like that.
If this is the case then they're utterly, comprehensively, and categorically stuffed.
RIP.
First a sale has to happen then the bad news
