Majority of the resources are going to squadron 42, star citizen has NOT been the main focus. Can "journalists" get anything right?
Sq42 has reached a pivotal development milestone and developers will shortly be moving focus to star citizen, integrating the modules built for sq42
600M for an mmo that pushes the boundaries of technology and a goregous singleplayer game is not insane.
Let's not forget squadron 42 wasn't even a part of the original kickstarter. Just continual scope creep.
That, and from what I've read elsewhere, the main dev is a self-important narcissist who doesn't like other people touching his code. If he'd ask for competent help and loosen that iron grip, he'd probably finish it before he dies of old age.
While I've heard the same for posterity in a different comment of mine, they also have a team of 1.1k developers. So it seems like it's almost more of a management issue
