@wiyosaya @ This article paints an entirely different picture of Mr. Roberts:
The fraught, eight-years-and-counting development of Star Citizen from Cloud Imperium Games seems to have no end in sig…

But then again, is a rag like that to be believed? :Not to mention the label "disgruntled employees", would undoubtedly be bandied about.
Aldous Huxley rang in on this more than 80 years ago in
Brave New World, "we tried a society of all Alphas, but the constant bickering and warring forced us to call in the army to break it up". Or, in more colloquial terms, "too many cooks spoil the broth"..
Ma hood dun got shot up twice this week. It would be interesting for you to try and judge this crew by superimposing your own intellectual, moral, and value standards, (as you're so prone to do), on these people, and then assume, "you've got them pegged".
As to the question of my own sanity, I wouldn't be offended in the least by someone addressing me with the salutation, "you're a misanthrope, a sociopath, and a cat person".
As far as an engineer working on one piece of software through their entire career, I would think that that might be true in something involving a piece of advanced physics, surveillance, AI, or industrial control system software, but the gaming community's attention span is far to short, and far too fickle, to guarantee continued single title success in that community. Give it a couple of years, and every player will know absolutely, positively, what should have been written, instead of what was.
As for, "We are the Champions", it's the most cleverly constructed veil / excuse for allowing every individual in a huge crowd to vent the full force of their ego, without risk of censure ever written.Yet still, (IMO), it's a piece of sh!t, worthy of a "Golden,Mutie Award".
I'd probably opt for German martial music, before I embraced that nonsense. At least that has an actual purpose..
BTW, apparently Windows 7 is no longer supported in Star Citizen. Maybe you can dismiss my skepticism as, "sour grapes".
That being said, the hardware requirements for M$ new flight simulator are way, way, over the top, as are those of X-Plane 11. X-Plane 10 is "where I get off". Maybe I should buy a copy of that while I still can. Unfortunately I'm far too cheap, (and broke) to spring for a yoke and rudder pedals.
In other news, I have a largely black, spayed, female cat, who enjoys having her backside scratched with an unholy abundance. I'm thinking if I scored some peyote, and recited a few ancient incantations, she might morph into a 19 year human female named, "Sabrina".
