Probably the kind of thing Sarbannes-Oxley was supposed to prevent in Public Companies.
Im not so concerned about the visuals, etc. To me, it's just the scam. Thats the issue. Not whether the game is outdated (which it is), unoriginal (which it is), at most combining a few game-types into one, which has been on mind for 30 40 years, (which is hasn't).
Its that they
a) cannot realease this game ever (because of maths...if they're lucky, some other company, like FDev, develops something which makes it feasable...not these guys)
b) wont release this game (since they keep making money, so why should they?)
c) keep selling ships (since they keep making money at it, so why should they?)
d) have inadvertantly created a new business model, which other devs have adopted (devs leave early release a lot...did they plan to release? why? the sole reason I cant stand folks giving money to them, is that they're being encouraged to not deliver...thanks you f-ing whales!)
Even if the game ran well, looked new, was original, its the scam part that sucks. Spend $30, sure, or better yet, dont. As has been said umpteen million times, wait till it's released. Even those who are happy with SC, as is, and promote it endlessly, should be reminding folks not to give them another penny. The goal? Release it, or go away.

Not really, hey, but to each their concerns right?
I’m here dude, no need to talk in third person
You should have seen the conversation bout the railgun
4 or 5 pages of catchup only to discover the main topic of conversation is that Ci¬G are still fiddling the books...
Bearing in mind that I'm a tax officer (and cut my computer roleplaying teeth in classic Forgotten Realms PC games like Eye of the Beholder, after stuff like The Hobbit on the spectrum obviously) I'm sure you can see why the concept of a Yuan-ti accountant in particular cracked me up lol. I used to know a guy at work who I internally always though of as Illithid for not entirely dissimilar reasons...

Nah, that was all just subjective chaff about 'realism' preferences in games.
CIG having a dubiously extensive shell company structure is more on the objective, and important, end of things.
You may not care that CIG have the mechanisms to fail profitably. Others, bizarrely enough, do.

Hey, feeling satisfied with that and want to start a New Game+ on Ultra Nightmare difficulty? Come do the same in Italy if you don't mind.

I've completed XCom on Impossible Ironman and I'd think twice about that
I kinda just scrubbed that from my memory alreadyYou should have seen the conversation bout the railgun
It is here, but we know our workarounds, if you catch my driftThe tax and revenue thing in the UK isn't quite as unpopular as it is in the US
I just leave it to the people who know how it all works...as my accountant usually says, "Just sign the thing, it doesn't matter what it's for, nor do you need to know. Even if I explained it, you wouldn't understand..."It is here, but we know our workarounds, if you catch my drift
I should point out, he depises it when I refer to him as our Consiglieri...he says I watch way too many movies

Yea, that’s maybe for the better of thingsI kinda just scrubbed that from my memory already
My accountant knows my limitations...I'm damned good at getting stuff done but almost completely ignorant of the financial intricacies of getting to it...that's why he's there and also why I'm not on the dole. He's guided me through single handedly taking on our family farm that had been derelict for over 50 years to the point now where my sons can take it over as a successful business that'll last not only my lifetime and theirs but their childrens as wellYea, well, that f’d me over one time, never again. Crazy thing is, that was my mother in law, funny thinking back about it but not funny, hah
