I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a developer on this game and realize you won’t ever get done.
Are you kidding? I bet that's exactly why plenty of those devs are there.
Game dev teams get scaled down and people end up job hunting at the end of a project. A project that never ends? It's like government work!
Any dev that's super concerned about shipping a product has to be long gone by now.
Kids will have been born and graduate college and this game still won’t be “released”. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a developer on this game and realize you won’t ever get done. MMOG’s get developed faster than this. The simple fact is nobody wants to spend a decade working on anything without some measure of completion.
Both of my kids were in elementary school when Star Citizen launched.
They're both in college now.
When Star Citizen launched, the Jacksonville Jaguars had only 7 winning seasons in franchise history.

Wait, that's actually changed?

They have 8 now!

Funny, the one project I worked on that ended up being cancelled was a (UK) government project.
Government work is generally hard, boring and - as you can see - often goes derided by the public even when it's valuable. People see the giant Social Security buildings, drab and aging, and rant about the lazy workers who are gobbling up tax money for their huge houses and big boats and such. But ask them about whether they'd like to see SS go away and they will *shank* you.
It would be very nice to see people not just casually reinforce the idea that government work is a sinecure, because on the whole, it's not. It's underpaid work mostly doing things that are important to the functioning of society at a basic level.

My take on SC is that, yes, it is a huge scam, but I know people who are actively enjoying the experience. If they have the disposable income to purchase and walk around a ship that will never be able to do much, that's fine. I don't judge how people derive enjoyment. These people actually enjoy SC more than ED (apparently one of the later expansions broke ED). So more power to them. For me, I may buy S42 if it is ever released, but they won't get a drop of my money until then.
This thread reminds me of that time back in 96 when I paid full price for Battlecruiser 3000AD.
This has long since passed Derek Smart levels of debacle.

Careful, you know what happens if you say that name two more times . . .
He already got banned from here, right? Or is that a false memory I have?
No, it's true.
But he can always make another account and get banned a second time!
I honestly don't think he'd feel the need to conceal himself.
