    Do people just not know who and what Chris Roberts is?

    This is what he’s done throughout his career - the only thing that’s notable about Star Citizen really is the scale of it and thus the opportunities he has to find ever more things to obsessively tinker with.

    It’s entirely possible that if Microsoft hadn’t bought out Digital Anvil and given him the boot, this wouldn’t even be Star Citizen - it would be Freelancer, coming into its 25th year of delays.

      Chris Roberts is still rich, and could probably retire right now without worrying about anything. He could tank the company, and he wouldn’t care.

        When has any really rich person ever gone “you know what? I actually have enough now…”?

          That’s the majority of them, but ragebait articles aren’t written about them, so you have no idea who they are.

          Don’t be so easily manipulated by media.
