It also reminds me why financially prudent overseers and other non tech people are needed in a well working company and are not necessarily as bad as some devs claim (within reason).

Star citizen was the attempt to free development from the shackels of "investor money" and the expectation was that this would remove the need to push out some unfinished product.

Having succeeded in raising enormous funding they instead opted to release...mostly nothing.

No investor would have accepted such a behaviour and at this point in time they seem really lost, working on meaningless details such as bedsheets.

Back in the day I expected one of the typical Kickstarter outcomes: "Great game", "Mediocre game with some innovation", "bad game" or "no game" but never in a million years would I have expected reading this article.

Over the years it has become clear why Chris Roberts was removed by Microsoft. He seems to be a fairly poor Project Manager.
