It's a bit of a misnomer that it's "free" energy. A common mistake perpetuated by the media keen to promote the "next big thing", but it's just not scientific.

Once you to take into account caloric costs of goons shitposting, you're better off just burning coal tbh.

No. From what was told to me, evocati were testing different builds. In a day, they send out multiple builds. Some are more focused on flight dynamics while others on FPS gameplay. The evocati have their own chat, discord, ptu forums, etc. They're all in one test group, but testing different things. The results are tabulated and they'll use those to streamline the builds so that the can get it out to PTU quicker.

This along with NMS tanking has really turned around people expectations. Its not just dreams anymore, people have to actually judge something on its actual content. It also helps that FD have added a lot of content over the last few years.
Tanking might be a strong word for it. It made roughly 1 million sales on PC, and gently caress knows how many more on PS4 (console games tend to sell much better though).

Okay, there was considerable backlash from the :lies: so it didn't really live up to its sales potential. But Hello Games is literally a 30 man studio, so the game cost absolutely gently caress all to develop comparatively. Most of the hype seemed to be generated by the mentally ill taking bullshots at face value, so I don't think the advertising budget would've been that high either.

Sean Murray might have screwed his reputation, but I doubt his bank balance is complaining.

That's the tragedy of Star Citizen, despite appearances nothing about it is low budget.

I think of all this money squandered by a polo necked autistic thumb, and I can't help wonder what someone even vaguely competent could do could've done with it.

Assuming modular programming, you don't have build the entire thing over and over. Network programming is different to interface art, etc.
Safer to assume hacks layered on top of hacks, and code so highly coupled that if it were a person it'd have a dozen extra chromosomes and a unibrow you could see from space.
