Hoping for A comment from Mr Braben.

imo SC has no room for failure with all the money is raised also should be the most polished and optimized game on the planet and should make everyone happy with how long it taking to get out

dunno if sc will deliver atall in the end lol

72 Million isn't a lot of money for a game of this scope. They are making a game far bigger than GTA and Destiny. Games that took far more money than that to make.

GTA V Development 137M Total 265M
Destiny Development 140M Total 500M

thats funny. well over half the cost of GTA was marketing, and Chris Roberts himself said that $1 kickstarter equals $4 using a publisher.
Bungie got $11 million for keeping Destiny live and running for 10years. 140 to develope? no way!

ITS A SCAM! Chris and his associates can easily withdraw millions into their bank accounts without any consequences whatsoever, what would you do if money kept pooring in (well above your dreams) and you could do what you wanted with it? its obvious, they could spend 20% of it for a half game, why would they care? the are going to close the company aferwards regardless, and Chris`s retirement is set.

If he would not have his money yet, he would reply everywhere, on reddit, kickstarter, other forums, like during the crowdfunding. But now he can't even be bothered to reply in his own forum.

That sounds pretty bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is kind of usual when it comes to game development in huge companies, Ubisoft didn't get the best employee review last year either, this is what it takes apparently to make a decent game with a decent amount of time.

However, peoples' donations being spent on personal things, that's horrible to hear, I am glad I didn't buy in at all into SC, and it's funny if you see how Roberts looks now compared to how he looked when he pitched the game, certainly had a taste of great life.

Ah, I won't knock it before I see it once it's out, but I am optimistic at best when it comes to SC.
