Just when you think Chris Roberts' retirement fund program brrrrrrrrrrrr couldn't get anymore absurd, they manage to surprise. Even the so-true long time backers thought it was going too far.

Witkin then claimed the reason CIG pulled the trigger too fast on flight blades is because the developer is having a busy year. "We're pushing 11 patches this year instead of 4. We’re crushing more bugs than ever, building more exciting content, moving faster than ever to make the Persistent Universe a better experience for everyone, and in moving that fast, we missed a step."
