Chris has stated numerous times that his employees receive lower than average salaries. Most of the people working on the game aren't there because of the money.

alright, so knock it down to like 70, I still read he has like several world wide development teams, that has to be hundreds of people, and operating expenses on something like that are going to be huge

salaries for actual GOOD developers are a huge expense but 90m would actually be enough to cover everything, if croberts hadn't promised to fulfill all the wet space dreams on the mmo wish list of every 16 year old nerdlinger.

you think these are "good" developers then you'd imagine they'd have something more than a broken space rock simulator by now

yeah roberts fucks them over with incompetent management i'm sure, but come on, 90 million is so much you could just buy a game studio and tell them to do what he said and it'd still probably turn out better than this

Most of the RSI employees hopefully understand that working on a high profile game like Star Citizen will do wonders for their resume.

Working on a never-to-be-completed project that still drew 100M of consumer spending will certainly boost their marketing team's credentials.

I remain completely baffled at how the same audience that incessantly whines about "greedy devs" for every DLC pack or pre-order bonus thinks giving a developer thousands of bucks for in-game items that have yet to be made is a great idea.

Derek Smart wrote another rambling wall of text a couple days ago.

http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/09/star-citizen-the-long-con/

It's funny because he starts out saying he knows he writes way too much so now he's going to keep it micro blog style, short and to the point, then proceeds with his typical rambling wall of text. He doesn't even go back to the start to take out the part about it being short, because I guess to him, that is the short version.

He also apparently thinks the Iraqi information minister meme from 10 years ago is still funny.

This is kinda funny though https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/22r2g5/a_letter_to_chris_roberts/cgptq39
