    We will see what this ends up becoming. What everyone should know though, is that most of the funding is made by the CEO himself.



    Which has NEVER had any substantial proof to the best of my knowledge. He said it once a long time ago.. in a manner of "I COULD fund the budget". Now we both know that they are years and years over their development timeline, so that means their budget.

    If you have some breakdown showing how much of Stephen's own money has actually gone into the game please share it. because, as far as I can tell it's just as likely that he provided seed money and the rest has come from players. Equally possible in my view.

    You could always call up and ask -- or the actual journalists at MMORPG.com could, certainly.  Their investor relations contact is on the web.

    I asked Stephen right on these forums years ago.  So did @kyleran if I recall. He dodged.  Funny enough, I don't think he ever came back

    Relly strange that this pre pre pre pre pre pre alpha has good amount of players and activites for a waporware.

    In that case it is not dodging, it is running away  ;)

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'
