As opposed to CIG who throw unreliably intractable trash out the door?!
So, in summary, they're running out of money to deliver something that they know they can't, using an engine not fit for purpose....Here are some juicy bits. Savour or discard as you will
- CIG recently announced internally that they are freezing raises, promotions and bonuses, and limiting new hires, for a year.
- The SC 1.0 plan is considered unachievable by everyone they know.
- Their first impression was: It looked like early planning for a whole new game, with 2 years to deliver.
- .....
- The engine requires a lot of maintenance. Dozens of issues a day, minimum, have led to a massive rolling backlog over recent years.
- New hires who have trouble fixing anything promptly leave again.
Aka Privateer II.
Still. Early days yeah?! Buy an Idris!

That’s been predicted many times before, CIG have always found a way to get supporters to part with their money to avoid that happening.
Ship sale incoming!
Ships with sails incoming
Yeah and/or drum up more investment.
(If they sell the Bengal this year we'll know they're absolutely sweating tho. That's the very last 'emergency break glass' backer-bilking option that's easily to hand...)
There's never been a better time to become an early bird backer!
Mike is drawing pics of the new SC creatures. I think he should be applying to CiG for a job in creature design
And now it's how they found the end of the constructed road. And what's around: Nothing. 350 days. Tops.
They'd like to but found operating doors to be incredibly difficult.
Truly never been done before!
Funny how he talks about fixing the crashes and then restoring the RL, which doesn't actually fix the problem with the RL, and if there is a new thing that causes crashes, the RL will do the same again.
There is always a breaking point where any scam's success falls off. Star Citizen is hitting that point.
Too many promises with too little tangible fulfillment over too much time eventually catches up.

The interesting thing to me is that I considered whether people see purchasing ships in the same way as buying mtg cards, in that they hold a value to resell that offsets the cost, however, unlike mtg card collecting, if CIG tanks via whichever means it will, without a running game all the ships bought are basically worthless. And if CIG raised most of its money via ship sales, let's say around $400m, all that value would be wiped out. Tell me again how this isn't a ponzi scheme? I mean, at this point why would you buy the ship that you know is being sold as a last resort, or any for that matter?
