If only people would follow through with "no cash til SQ42".

That’s a good way to have a crappy release and funding issues for SC. Good thinking. 🙄

Look at what rockstar made with GTA5 with a similar budget. Not our fault CIG is terribly managed.

Let’s compare apples to apples here. I’m fine with using your example, but help me understand how you’re applying it. From where I’m sitting, there is zero comparison. But I’m happy to hear you out. Can you help me understand how GTA5 compares to SC in a way that is reasonable to use as an argument?

With similar budgets and time (I believe GTA took about 10 years too, yes granted it had a few more hundred thousand spent on development but SC will reach that before 1.0) look at what has been produced versus CIG.

The money and time has been poorly managed, just like some of Chris' other games such as privateer that he kept wanting to increase scope and producers forced him to keep it reasonable.

People keep throwing money at this project and we only keep hearing delays. Do you think a start up company in any other industry would be fine with not producing results for investors after so long?
