With this game it always seem to be more profitable to keep it in development forever rather than releasing it.
Well this article is kinda saying that they are barely keeping their head above water as it is, and CIG is vastly mismanaging money and driving development heavily on how many ships they can sell in that year.
So if anything I’d say that this strategy doesn’t seem to be working out for them anymore

Only part I wanted :(
The only part I believed they might actually deliver on since it isn’t boggled down by network issues, but I guess even that was too much to hope for. I still remember the 2018 lie of “it’s weeks away from being shown” only for them to not show anything or the next 5 years. If it weren’t that troublesome to get it (and it’s a small sum anyway) I’d probably fight for a refund out of principle alone.
Look at it another way.
If they’re keeping their head above water, even barely, it means they are keeping their head above water. Without delivering a product. For YEARS.
They’re earning money by selling empty promises year after year. Not a lot of money. They’ll never become billionaires from this game. But there are lots of people in there (mainly executives and CEO and whatever) earning a decent salary. On empty promises! It’s as close to a scam that it can be without being illegal.
I guess, but the fact they are now laying people off is for sure a sign that things aren’t going well enough. CR might live the rest of his life in a mansion but his legacy is in a crapper and he’s not gonna get another chance at this (at least I hope people wouldn’t fall for it twice).
They never planned to get THIS far. They even disappeared with the money for like a year and then just came back like nothing happened.
And asked for more

None of this should be a surprise to anyone remotely familiar with their timelines
