After seeing how well Star Citizen is doing, then I start to wonder how much IGP constrains PGI. How much money has IGP really put into this game? It does seem like there is a loyal player base or at least there was before going back on a lot of promises.

Well, who knows maybe someone can pick up the ball if everything goes south.

Why am I not surprised to see this post. With all the negativity lately it was a given.

They might have put $15 million in but they also siphoned off a big chuck of the founders money to use on other projects. You also got to ask just how much they have gotten out of the PP and all the other sales. Now I am not saying they shouldn't get a return on investment but at the same time this game has still got alot of development ahead of it so you would think that ALL the funds would actually go back to development at least for the time being, not be siphoned off for other projects and the like.

I'm sure that they wanted their share of the profits after the game started charging real money, ie "Open Beta". Also why all the sales and offers.
