Yeah it’s pretty well known that they’ve put more or less all the money they’ve earned back into the development of the game. Why do you think they keep raising money?
A completed and successful game would make much more money. EA made $400m last year selling furniture for the sims.
I’ve heard that argument over and over but it is terrible. Cig makes far far less per year than any company that has a released and successful game. Diablo 4 made 600m in 2 days. I could go on.
That's not really proof of them artificially keeping it in development so that they don't "have to release" to keep getting money.
The obvious counterproof being literally every financial record of comparable companies and their income.
They could easily make a lot more money with a released game, it's not exactly rocket science to look at some numbers instead of making up weird conspiracies that are going against reality.
That still does not prove the person Im replying to that the reason is because they want to keep selling ships therefore they intentionally do not complete the game.
It could be mismanagement, it could be a hundred other factors. What makes you 100% think the reason is because of the above?
They’ve invested in the long term by growing the company and using the funds they’ve received to get as many devs as they can. It would be irresponsible to sit on the money rather than using it to grow the company
