    Not a grift.

    A grift implies that someone is making bank off of it.

    No, Chris Roberts is instead burning money by having devs do work, then redo work to add in some last minute shit that he thought of, then repeat until the feature creep completely overtakes their lives. It’s the Chris Roberts way.

    Work is being done on the game, but remember that treading water is also a lot of work.

      Chris Roberts

      This is and always has been the biggest issue.

      Hell - if Microsoft hadn’t given him the boot when they bought out Digital Anvil, it’s entirely possible that he’d still be working on Freelancer.

      Chris Roberts and the rest of the exec team are making bank off of it.
