I don't think its lack of skill, this is unrealistic goals, a lack of direction and mismanagement...
Rockstar couldn't even make this game, the goals are that fukking absurd...Rockstar took 8 years with GTAIV and they didn't just make a game, they created their own game engine from the ground up...These clowns are only creating assets, they started with CryENGINE and now they've moved on to Amazon, put out a tech demo POC and branded it as an alpha...While I can't front and say it isn't impressive but that's not what they promised, its not even a fukking game...To make matters worse, they've had 10 years and a 300 million budget and all they could produce is a tech demo?
Kojima caught beef with Konami for MGSV for far less than that...Star Citizen doesn't have a publisher to worry about, their backers are their delusional stans and as long as they put out just enough to keep the stans interested, the ponzi scheme can continue...
