That is a hell of a lot of money, especially when you take into account the only thing to show for it is a huge turd. Yes, the turd has been rolled in glitter, but it's still a turd.

And still no way near finished. Give us SQ42 already!

Still soo much fun to be had on the MMO SC game right now

Might install it at some point in the future to check it out

No idea but they are hiring 700 more staff and stuffing them in to a brand new Manchester UK Head Office.
It will bring their number up to 1400.

Of sq42?
Looking at the progress tracker it seems they will finish most if not all the chapters for sq42 by q3 next year
Soldato
They've clearly realised that they need to get a push on with SQ42 hence the refocus of the key pillars to an SQ42 focus and then the more polished mechanics flowing in to the PU. I'd imagine their looking at SQ42 being another source of revenue from on the fence gamers... I'm happy either way, had lots of fun with the PU since I backed in 2012, watched some amazing development videos and stuff that happens and will play SQ42 when it comes out. I've backed heavily as I want to see this game realised and I love the idea of a universe wide ecosystem but with story driven wars... i.e. I hope that as an independent I can trade and keep the war effort going without actually needing to join the frontline, but if I was to go near it I could see the war ongoing etc. Time will tell though.
of the $400m

A good source of revenue would have been releasing a game, then using said funds to cram features into a sequel on solid foundations. They've just stumbled on too good of a funding model, like Rockstar have with GTA V. That's why we don't have GTA 6

People thought they were just buying a game, but Kudos to Roberts he's actually found enough mugs to by him a large business for free, and have them pay for the running costs for a decade, and pay the salaries of a large workforce now numbering 1400 people.
10 years of free money for two dog **** games, one of which doesn't exist.
Genius.

That’s what cig are doing.
Creating the foundations of the pu and then work on the other 90 + star systems and lore afterwords .
All cig need is 4-5 fully fledged star systems with all the professions done to make a so called soft launch

Is this "game" a massive scam or something? It seems that people keep throwing money at it but it's no closer to release. I seem to recall it being announced around the same time as Elite Dangerous.

The road map has SQ42 finished next year, honestly guys this is it not like the other times where they have missed every other deadline. 
Soldato
Nope.
Its not a scam. plenty of people are playing this game.
A lot of ED players have switched to this "so called scam of a game"
Don
OK, maybe not an outright scam, but it's an Alpha version of the game and they are asking people to pay money for the base game, and then even more money to buy ships. I've just looked at the website for it and the price of some of the ships is incredible.
Maybe I just don't understand.
The reason for the initial post is because one of my friends at the weekend mentioned that he's spent several hundred quid on this game and wished he hadn't.
