Wait, did they fire Chris Roberts before finishing Freelancer? I never knew.
Freelancer was the first game I clocked over 500 hours on in online play. So many fond memories.
Edit: OK, read up on it. They absolutely did. I never new Chris Roberts was such a Chris Roberts all the way back in 1999.
Damn, me neither. Got a nice link for that read?

Yes Roberts has brilliant ideas, but terrible sense of scope.
In my honest opinion Star Citizen will never be done, and will eventually run out of money, not soon, but eventually.
