    Can you actually give evidence? Or even a semi-convincing argument to back that up? Because from everything I’ve seen it’s a whale fishing company with bros playing around with random disjointed tech demos. The closest I’ve seen them do to interesting is their distributed server model for cells in a single environment, but even that isn’t worth a billion dollars in funding.

    Otherwise I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

      Youve got to see the whole picture. With that money they aren’t just developing two games right now but also built up an entire company with several studios, paying Devs and staff. The actual breakdown of Finance they are regularly publishing.

      So tell me, do you know any other game that, when removing all that overhead, was produced by an already established game studio that has the same scope not just content but technical as Star Citizen?

      And yeah their Server Meshing which should hit live end of this year is pretty impressive, a dynamic version coming later so that the Game can spool up and retire new Servers when needed will be the holy grail of MMOs.
