"So apparently things might not be all sunshine and rainbows in the world of Chris Roberts (Star Citizen), If it were anyone else or any other game I'd say these claims are ridiculous but Star Citizen has always seemed to have extremely lofty goals for their budget, they have hardly put out anything but hopes and dreams and pretty models/videos for 3 years, and Chris Roberts clearly has a galactic sized ego, so I'm inclined to believe that there may be alot of truth to the article.
For the record, I haven't paid into the crowdfunding for this game, I was going to wait for retail release, just in case something like this happened, since it's always seemed extremely ambitious for a $90mil game."
On top of this recent article, since July of this year, veteran Indie game dev Derek Smart has published a number of blogs which are highly critical of Star Citizen, more specifically of Chris Roberts, and his ambitions.

According to Mr. Smart, he's also currently building up a sizable lawsuit against Chris Roberts and his Cloud Imperium Games with no less than 4 separate lawyer firms.
I've never bought into Star Citizen, though I've come very close to pouring in a sizable amount of cash at several points since Its 2012 Kickstarter first appeared. In light of all these serious, and honestly plausible accusations, I'm overjoyed I never game them anything.
