I’ve been watching this game from the sidelines for like 10 years.

See you all in another 10.

I can't imagine that people will keep shoveling money in for another ten years.

It sounds from the article like they're starting to lay people off.

Roberts then touched upon changes at Cloud Imperium Games, some of which have to do with recent layoffs and a controversial relocation plan IGN reported on last month. Rich Tyrer is now senior game director, overseeing the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 alongside Roberts. Roberts said CIG had made the “difficult decision” to ask the Los Angeles development team to relocate to join other teams, primarily in Manchester, England, as well as Austin, Texas, and Montreal, Canada.

One member of staff called this “a mass layoff, disguised as a relocation of staff”, given the struggle in moving to another country “with little or no notice.”

See, that's what I thought after the first hundred million with basically nothing to show other than being able to walk around your spaceship. Yet here we are.

It's like Bethesda or Rockstar.. We can surely trust their greed
