Like TNA wrestling, Star Citizen is in a constant state of collapse but it's not burned to the ground yet.
.
An escapist article went live with criticisms of the company from employees. Christ Roberts went into full panic mode and posted up a wall of text to respond. Mostly saying the writer is part of gamergate, mouthpiece of Derek Smart, etc.

That is the real kicker isn't it? Like what would have happened if this game only got like 750K, or like barely made it across the finish line? Would the lack of budget made Chris Roberts buckle down and focus on just the core part of the game?

Let's summarize some key moments from the past week.

- Sandi tweets about how she "found" old college awards or some bullshit that nobody cares about

- Christ Roberts posting a 10,000 letter that starts with a piece against Derek Smart only switching gears to accuse a Journalist of being some kind of Twitter person named bandit or something.

- Something like 10 people fired from Austin, which has been described as a "minor restructuring"

- Wulf Knight has taken it upon himself to go after former CIG employees, and attack them or something.

- People have been pushed to tears and opened their wallets because a website article made them angry.

- People were genuinely disappointed that the hospital ship was only $900.

I'm sure there's more.
