Just a few things from the article:
They’re running out of money. (That’s nothing a few more ships for sale can’t solve )
Cult-leader Chris orders them to make game-defining changes on a daily basis that fucks up everything for weeks. (It’s Chris’ world after all, you’re just living in it )
Besides just the main game and Squadron 42, they also have a third game (medieval fantasy) in development that uses the backer’s funds as well.
I’d hate to come across as a Molyneux apologist, but at least Fable 1 was fun. SC can’t claim anything close to that.
This probably isn’t due to any good intentions from Peter himself though, he was tied to a studio that demanded a complete game be released, SC is just on a money treadmill and their “visionary” is free to just grift away.
