    Dreamers are great to have at the beginning of a project.  Leading a project from start to finish requires realists and doers.


    EDIT - I should add to that last sentence that it requires realists and doers, unless that dreamer can continuously go to the "bank" for more funds without any obligation to provide a return on investment.  And that's the scary part when you look at SC.

    Seems to me we are in a "glass half full or glass half empty" situation here. 

    Whereas you believe that lack of external oversight and limitations spells inevitable doom for SC, I believe that the very absence of those limitations will enable the game to be produced as envisaged. Most probably very late and hopelessly over budget, but polished and full-featured nevertheless.
    I was beginning to think the same thing.  Which means I don't believe you to be wrong, as it's your perspective and I can respect that.  I just don't hold such high hopes for the project.  If it comes into fruition as Roberts envisions, I wouldn't neglect to play it simply because I thought it wouldn't beforehand.  I'm just not going to fork over a dime until I see the finished product in action.

    You can't seriously think they have gone through $64 million in 15 months on a team of 100 people.
    No, i am speaking about money having been spend in the last years, even BEFORE  the E:D Kickstarter campaign started. Plus the money for the development  of the Horizon DLC, the Mac and console versions. 

    The point: Development cost is not that far away from SC as some people think. While the E:D team was "only" 100 people, it was that size from Day 1, working out of existing facilities. While the SC team started at 5 people and was below 100 team size for half the current development period- with no preexisting studio facilities. 


    Have fun
    So now you are counting money FD spent making other games as having been used to make ED.  So how about lets just count everything that FD has spent since the company was founded, that is after all not that far from what you are trying to do.  hahahaha.  How far will you take your excuses and crazy "logic".

    For someone who likes to talk about facts and sources you should know much better than to make comments saying one thing when you really meant something totally different.

    You were purposely trying to spread misinformation and now you are just digging yourself a deeper hole.

    Do you really have to lie to defend your game? Are you really that desperate?
    Or have you been taking lessons from Ben Lesnick?

    I reserve the right to discuss the topic of Star Citizen ship sales in excruciating detail about once a week in one newly generated thread per day on 10 different websites in 20 different forums with 30 verbose posts of no less than 3000 characters - each. 

    Furthermore i reserve the right to take one sentence of a well known developer, blow it out of proportion, add some numbers - that may or may not be correct - and discuss it at length without listening to input from others. 

    This describes at least half of the threads here on this forum lately. I AM able to learn from examples. 


    Have fun

    Never stoop to the level of the trolls, because you will be... well, you know the rest!
