With the amount of capital Roberts has attracted, he could have many extraordinary screw ups and still deliver a decent game. At the very least, it's finally in alpha release (albeit years after it was previously claimed to be in alpha release) so we do know that Roberts does intend to release a game. He may yet crash and burn a la Daikatana or Duke Nukem Forever, of course, or even never make it out of Early Access stage like so many other games today. But at least now he appears to be operating in good faith. Previously, I wasn't even sure of that.Full development was 3 years. The difference is Rockstar is run by professionals, whereas CIG is run by a man baby who got thrown out of the gaming and movie industries.
How dumb do you have to be to still think that this isn't an extraordinary screw up? I've got a jpeg of a bridge I want to sell ya
I was half convinced that Zinfamous was right - this seemingly endless cycle of showing stolen artwork and selling JPEG ships WAS the game, or at least Roberts' end product. Now we see that Roberts is making at least some progress toward having a finished game.
