That's amazing that 10 years ago it was obvious... and here we are...

Anyone who knew Chris Roberts previous projects knew it was going to go this way. That man doesn't know the meaning of scope.

We all knew. We gave him money anyway because WHEN (or better: if) he delivers, he always delivered good stuff. Wingco, wingco 2, strike commander, wingco3, 4, prophecy, starlancer and freelancer. That last one mostly.

I gambled with money i could lose. Still doesn't think it was a wrong decision. Is my money gone? Yeah. It cost me, in those12 years, like 1 restaurant visit.

I also gambled the same amount with elite dangerous. That one delivered. So 1 out of 2 ain't bad.

Given what happened to freelancer, I think the only way you should give Chris Roberts your money is if he agrees to lead the project for two years, then quit and hand it over to someone who can actually finish it.

I dunno if everyone knew lol, buut all joking aside? I agree with you. it's only a grift/scam if one doesn't feel good about the money and time spent. Also anyone throwing $$ in nowadays better be doing it with open eyes like yours or they're fools
