captain_aggravated comments on Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in funding

Star Citizen isn't the only game in the "be all other video games simultaneously" genre, I mean remember Peter Molyneux's Fable? But that eventually came out with a reasonable RPG scope. Star Citizen is the extreme example, that has gone the farthest with the least to show for it.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of what happened to John Romero when he was given unbelievable amounts of money to found Ion Storm and create Daikatana. But for Star Citizen the money faucet has never turned off.

Oh yeah! I forgot about Daikatana. Are we still all John Romero's bitch?

I always saw Molyneux as more of the "traditional" hype man (or conman) in the video game space. Promise the world, but actually deliver some lesser product.

I genuinely think Roberts is just unhinged in this way (or maybe he was before he got this ridiculous endless funding stream). Grand visions that he won't let the minor annoyances of software engineering get in the way of. Tetsuya Takahashi's another one like that.
