I suspect Linus bailed like a lot of us back then, 2016 post Citizencon and early 2017 was the mass refund exodus. It was after the live demo of what Ci¬G had actually achieved with Star Citizen, the reality, rather than a fake tech demo like the Homeland video with the sandwurmie...you remember the one, the wheels falling off the Ursa rover as it tried to go up the ramp? It also was the time when Ci¬G pulled the supposed Sqn42 vertical slice planned for that Citcon at the last minute...the start of the year long delay with producing 3.0 and complete radio silence...the vanishing roadmap.

There were so many of us bailing that it forced Ci¬G into changing the TOS once again to universally prevent refunds... I've no idea if Linus refunded...some didn't but a lot of us did, from $45 backers to $25k whales. It was a universal show of disapproval in the hardest hitting way we could...taking our money out of the project. It might not seem much in the grand scheme of things but when you consider that 5 of my closest friends, and little old me, were Wing Commander level backers ($10k)...that's a 60 grand loss in less than a month as we pulled our cash out...we weren't the only ones, not by a long chalk.

That was four years ago? Seems like only yesterday that I finally decided to get my $45 back.

Tranlsating aesthetically selected assets into physics-affecting objects (with multiple use cases), in year 8 of the project (more like year 9 by the time they get to this), is just so far beyond deranged it feels like it needs a new term.

Pre-emptive debt?

Clusterfudgery?

Of course they're 100% capable of that: look at the FM. :)

You ask Chris "draw me a submarine", he makes an artist draw one, he rejects the design, fire the artist who asked why, use another artist that comply with his visions
and the submarine is cool, but holed, because it's cool. Then he'll explain he'll make it physically realistic.

Yeah, why the totally misplaced emphasis on ultra realistic physics, when the FM is comically wrong, player characters move and jump like the Doom Guy, and the physics engine treats absolutely everything like a beach balloon, when it's not glitching horribly... If only that kind of effort (or the effort spent doing fluff like caves) was placed on doing proper server code, networking, and a working physics engine...

Seems they've started the ship naming ceremony... also seems like the MSR is the first of the currently flyable ships to be nameable...apart from the warbond Corsair concept jpeg I had named previously...before I melted it.
