I sincerely commend the working class developers that took Chris Roberts' absurd and ignorant "turn this arena shooter engine into a space shooty pow pow everything in space simulator" mandate and kind of made it work. It took a lot of code sorcery and blood pacts, for sure.
Oh, of course. I have experience of smashing things until they work but nowhere near this scale. Hats off to everyone involved that the thing actually runs albeit visually flying apart at the seams.
With 13 years of development they could have written a new engine specifically for the job tailor made to the tasks they needed, solved networking in a way that lets 500 people being in an instance simultaneously and made more than they currently have.
Chris Roberts is a (literal, that's what he was doing after Wing Commander and before Star Citizen) used car salesman with delusions of grandeur that doesn't just have a similar sort of narcissism as :my-hero: , but actively inserted himself into the lore of his own grift as :my-hero: but even more bazinga and humanity saving.

The tech has been laughably mismanaged.
