Isn't this a critical feature that they must finish to realize the game? Hopefully they still have the required expertise available to complete it.
That's where you're wrong
Completing the game isn’t the goal.
Game development as a service.
Bro, just 9 more years of development, come on bro, it's just 9 more years, we lost developers but I swear we'll be done soon, it's only 9 more years, bro.
(This comment is gonna age poorly when it's nowhere close to releasing in 9 years and I should've picked a larger number)
It's a race between Star Citizen and Elder Scrolls 6 at this point to see which drops first.
Elder Scrolls 6
I feel confident that star citizen will have the bugs patched before tes6 though... They'll have from now until the heat death of the universe lol
Honestly I don't think It will take that long. It seems like, based on previously released data and their more recent moves, that they are hemorrhaging a lot of money.
I do not think they have 9 years. They will go out of business long before then. Most likely they will have some kind of product as the "completed 1.0" within the next few years.
Bah, they will ask for more money and idiots will gladly give it to them.
The circle will continue.
Based on the numbers they have released, their expenses are increasing a lot. They could legitimately run out of money.
They'll slap together a new megaship that makes all the old pledge ships look like shit and price it at 5 thousand and watch the money pour in.
I don't think finishing the game is part of the plan.
