He was making Star Citizen but with $187,000 instead of $400 million and 1 guy instead of 500.

  I know. He has done a great job considering those facts. I do not know if you followed the reports, but it seemed to me that he has been obsessing over minor details. His inability to make decisions, and his depression probably contributed to the outcome we are seeing now. Still, he promised to release the source code, and I wonder what is taking so long. Is he trying to polish it up and ending up with the same kind of indecisiveness and problems he had before? I hope not.

    He probably thinks there is stuff that can be done to make the source code actually usable for people. However that stuff is causing him anguish in his current mentality, leading to procrastination and unwillingness to actually accomplish things. The screenshots are pretty though and he's obviously talented. Things would probably be completely different if he had a steve jobs-esque figure to guide him. There's a lot of consternation on HN over business guys trying to find a tech co-founder but in this case we have a reverse. What a shame. Ultimately I see this as a logistical problem in society, our inability to pair people up effectively.

      Yeah, he is definitely talented and it is a shame that it ended up this way. I hope he will release the source code (if he really wants to do so) as soon as possible so other people can pick it up and potentially finish it for him.
