!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

If you know the history behind freelancer and that Chris Robert didn't finish it then it's quite foreseeable how star citizen happened.
In essence, you're right. For freelancer he was pulled off the project and Jörg Neumann (now at MS with flight simulator) redefined the scope, set boundaries and finished it. Thats how the freelancer we know and love came to be.
