Oh it’ll release, just not by Chris Roberts.

The last game he was in charge of was Freelancer, a highly ambitious game for the time and he never finished it. His company, Digital Anvil, started to have financial woes due to the long development of Freelancer and was acquired by Microsoft. He left the company and then a couple years later Freelancer was released!

It was very different from what it was supposed to be, but it was still an awesome game, imo.

I think the same thing will happen to Star Citizen. The money will dry up and they’ll be forced to sell. The buyer will kick Chris out and then have the team make a finished product.
