In a year from now, there won't be a game left. Not alpha, not beta, not full released, nothing. No game whatsoever since CIG will have collapsed totally.
And to be clear, an ELE doesn't have to happen overnight. There could be an asteroid so big hitting the earth so hard that the earth explodes. That would be a direct ELE. However, it could also be that an asteroid hits the earth and that event creates a dust fallout for blocking the sun for a couple of years. That's what killed the dino's over a couple of years. Not the asteroid itself. Nevertheless, earth getting hit by the asteroid was the ELE.
The same is happening with CIG. Slowly but steadily this project is coming to a halt. The signs are everywhere, as shown by Derek over and over. That Chris somehow manages to stay afloat at the moment is astonishing, but that won't last. There are no more rabbits left to be be pulled out of a hat. Maybe a tiny one is stuck somewhere, but bringing this game to full maturity and then bringing it online and keeping it there, no, that is not going to happen.
Now, we didn't gather here to argue if CIG will crash, we are here to argue when and how CIG will crash. However, you keep arguing that our arguments are all false and that is getting tiresome. Rather than saying our arguments are false, why don't you try to explain why your arguments are valid. Like, I think CIG has enough money because their funding tracker says they have collected 158 million. Or, the face stuff they added for the demo proves to me that that are actually working hard on the core elements of the game. Or they say they don't have any progress on SQ42 because they want to keep it a secret until Shitizen Con.
Maybe then you'll see how stupid you arguments really are.
