      Freelancer, to this day, remains one of my all-time favorite games for capturing the magic of space exploration. If Freelancer was born from this dude’s mind, I will happily wait for Star Citizen.

        Freelancer had to be pried from his control because he couldn’t meet even the least ambitious deadlines. Chris Roberts hasn’t managed a successful project from start to finish in over 20 years.

          Hasn’t he been working on Star Citizen for at least 20 years? I remember backing the original cash grab when I still had all my hair.

            Kickstarter was like… 2011 or 2012, so just over a decade. I know because that’s 50 bucks I’m never gonna get back, but at least it was worth less back then xD

        Entire human beings have been born and have grown up in the time it has taken to get it to this point.

        At some point you need to lock the scope and actually finish it.

          11 years old is a concerning definition of “grown up”.

          Do you need a seat?
