That just served the purpose of CRoberts achieving his dream of making it big in Hollywood, and pretending to be a film director, and confirming he never cared about video games (as Warren Spector said). They also certainly spent tens of millions$ of backer money on that, if we refer to what happened with Wing Commander 4, and all of this was just flushed down the toilet if we believe the roadmap and "CiG official response" that has been published on their forums, since they say they completely rebooted the development from zero for achieving better fidelity.
How can cultists defend this, given their hard earned money was blatantly squandered ?
To be fair that's common to have sub-chapters and so on.. The disappearance of chapter 2 and 3 is the real problem IMHO.
I believe there was never any game. What was shown at different stages were just cut scene animations, and it's not the first time they used a machinima (=3D movie that uses a game engine) to show off a "demo", remember that sandworm.. Still, they managed to surprise me with their roadmap showing they are still at stage zero of development. And yeah CR should be removed from management and put in a mocap suit so at least we can have entertaining hand waves.
I have this belief because CR is just like a child and is unable to contain himself, if he has something to show you can be certain he'll run around with it.
