Project development time (actual): roughly 4 years so far, that's perfectly fine. big games like WoW took like an extra 4 years of patching and expansions to turn into something actually really great.
Current content and playability: better then ever, weeks worth of missions to do and places to explore, tons of stuff to aim for
Monetization/funding method: kinda sketchy, especially in the long run, this would have been worth discussion
Players who are mental patients: who gives a shit? No really, if you can't handle your own money as an adult, that's your problem, not anyone CIG's. Get in that corner and cry alone just like you deserve it!
Ex-employees bitching : nothing to see here, not everyone is cut out for every job. Working on stuff like computer art is a very mentally demanding process, especially if you have a boss who cares. I worked for a guy like that for 6 odd years, it was hard and I've seen many ppl come and go. In the end I would say it was worth sticking with it for so long, it paid off in the long run.
It's just the nature of the beast, take it or leave it.
Ex-employee saying development is at 11! In the world of real ppl, that means: Awesomeness , we are pushing it over the limit!
This is great news for us, as it means that the development is going at 11 instead of something like a 3, like Anthem did lol
Crazy family stuff: NON OF OUR BUSINESS! and non of Forbes's either...
Cutting costs by going to another country and using their loopholes to avoid taxes, when these loopholes were clearly created for this exact purpose : Dude, have you ever heard of how Hollywood works? Literally everybody does this.
Last couple of movies that filmed right next door to where I live only because of tax incentives loopholes and cheap labor:
The Martian, Blade Runner 20xx, the Wicher series
Half of Hollywood has moved over to China for the same reason! The marvel movies, transformersand God knows what else is being made there cos they get shit loads of money and save a lot as well! Anyways, I digress...
CR not even guessing at a release date, so it will never be done: we have a roadmap like 1+ year into the future, what else do you want as proof that they are doing it?? Ffs!
The only impression I get from the article can be summarized like this....
