I really do think they are at the 200 or less full time staff at this point

they have a very, very bad reputation among devs and no one I know would ever promote them as a place to work

they are toxic as gently caress and are really struggling to find decently experienced people to hire

That just means less of the funding going to payroll.

Star Citizen is saved.

They're grasping at the most tenuous straws now. I think Kojima, whether you like his stuff or not, has an established history of delivery. If it takes him 6 years, you know for the entire time that he's making progress, has a plan, knows how to do it, and will get it done.

By contrast Chris Roberts has a documented history of failure (just like now), he's failed to deliver games in the past due to scope creep and ignorance of the subject (just like now), the games he failed to deliver in the past due to scope creep and ignorance of the subject were space games in particular (just like now), and he's been doing a note-perfect imitation of his previous fuckups since the project began. Nothing is planned, nothing is documented, nothing is scoped, nobody knows what the game is supposed to be, and there is no position in any of their multiple studios around the world whose job it is to determine those things, much less enforce them.

To compare these two people is absolutely ludicrous - they're not even both game developers. The only thing Chris Roberts ever developed was an extra chromosome.

I noped out of his stuff on Metal Gear Solid 2. It was a good game, and had some ridiculous "fidelitous" things in it that could've only come from someone who loved what they were making. The story in the cutscenes was just too much for me.

At least he makes impressive things, whether or not the story line rolls your eyes out of your head.

I think realistically, if you think about it, Kojima made that statement specifically to reference Star Citizen, because Chris Roberts is the one game developer he feels he can never hold a candle to, and he's trying to cover up for his hero before he makes the Last Game, rendering Kojima's future career plans moot. Which he's totally OK with because he will live forever in the 'Verse playing infinite subsumption NPC AI dynamic missions that will always be cinematic and have procedurally generated storylines that thrust even his best ideas into the shade.

I'm beyond it at this point.

What I remember is his games having schizophrenic stories, with obnoxiously long drawn out cinema sequences, but you could watch ice cubes melt, and shoot the seagulls making GBS threads on you.

The games worked, though. I stuck with him from the first Metal Gear on the NES, finished by getting all the dog tags on MGS2, and I'm fine with leaving it there.
