Cmon, I sure hope with 750 millions they managed to hire artist to make ships. That’s maybe a few dozen or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In 10 years with that amount of money surely they could hire very talented people to manage development of server backend. The state in which the game is currently is a disgrace. It should be done or close to the end, not still at the beginning where you’re trying to make everything persistent. The infrastructure is what takes the most time and what you build first, like a house foundation. Instead they made the roof and the wall, sold them with lots of promise and now are working on foundations. I sure wouldn’t trust or buy from a such a contractor.
- aeonik 2y agoI played Chris Robert's stuff starting with Wing Commander in the early 90s. A lot of us did. He's not a scammer, we know who he is, flaws and all. The project might fail, though I don't think it will, but it really doesn't make sense that he would be running a scam. He wants this game as much as anyone. Technical mistakes and all that kind of stuff make sense and aligns much more with what I have seen over the course of my career. I do agree that they could move faster on the backend infrastructure if they had the right talent, but they started off really small over 10 years ago. They basically bootstrapped all their knowledge and talent.
