The lack of crunch is the problem.
Apparently when they started to crunch they made whole sandworm boss event in like 3-4 weeks.
Crunch won't help you unless fundamental technology is finished and stable. You can add maps 4, 5 and 6 by working 80 hours weeks only if maps 1, 2 and 3 are finished and content for them is locked down.

Basically the problem with those colorful graphics that dem crayon munchers like to pull every now and then, yeah, that's a lot of money, but how much are they spending? How long do they need to keep it up? How long till it stagnates or starts falling?

Basically not only was I right, I was very right. $600m in expenses is crazy. They would need to outperform Rockstar in order to break even.
Takes 20 years to develop
Dead in a year of running

That'd be right.

I feel bad for the developers who were freaking out because these games going to destroy their careers. I said that was going to happen and here we are.

It feels odd to me that this commercial enterprise is given so much leeway.
It's received lots of money to develop a product, fit for purpose.
Furthermore, it repeatedly promises more than any other similar product.
Without any real truth.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
By the time this game releases it will be historical fiction and probably look like PS1 warped polygon bullshit compared to whatever graphical fidelity we have in 15 centuries from now

Their process is more like "sludge".

Reasonably pretty cinematic. Where is the gameplay?

Currently servers are fucked so much so that you can't really play anything. XD
That's why I like you Perk.

You may fanboy this, but you're not guzzling the Kool Aid and can see the warts in it (even if you refuse to admit that it's all warts and will never be anything but, yet).

Oh, and can anyone summarize what Star Citizen currently is, the current state and what its meant to be? Is it still meant to become some huge MMO FPS set in space or has that changed?

Is that with the old or new server tech?
old, they basically wanted to sell ships asap for $$$ and broke effectively live servers. You can play but shit just happens.
new servers aka 4.0 is still in testing and still unstable.
So, the old and new servers both don't work? Or usually the old ones work but everytime they update something it breaks?
