I can't imagine there being a viable exit strategy though. Surely Chris isn't thát stupid, to think that there is a possiblility to get away with Star Citizen without releasing the game?
If he no longer has the money to complete development, what a should he do?
On a side note, the timely coincidence between his rumored efforts to raise $75m in investment money, and the setting up of the new shell company makes me wonder. It just doesn’t compute yet… on one hand, the search for this kind of money suggests that CR would like to keep the company afloat until around 2020. On the other hand, the creation of the shell company suggests that he has plans to jump ship long before that. Is he exploring and preparing for both possible outcomes? But that would mean that he really doesn’t have a clue himself as to where SC is going (quite disturbing by itself, given that he is the founder). It isn’t quite clear to me what’s going on at the moment.
It doesn't matter. The project is already badly tainted, and the community around it is toxic. Plus, nobody is going to give money to a guy who got $160M in free cash, but still couldn't ship a product after 6 years.
He's fucked.
Can't argue with that, it really doesn't matter what he does.
Whatever exit strategy he try's to implement, will only further serve to highlight the fraudulent activity that he has endemically committed throughout every stage of this, his, farce of a game project.
Somehow he might conceivably escape from this swindle with a whole skin. Not that such an outcome is even remotely likely at this point, but stranger things have happened.
I'm still of the firm opinion, that we only have a few more months to wait before the final collapse. After that happens, all bets are off as to when the ending of all litigation, both civil and criminal, is going to be complete.
