It's a cool game. No worries. I do get what the article says, though. The game does not adequately represent how awful the space marines are, even though it does show you that the empire sucks.
Funded yes*, but blood? Come on. Who are the British people shedding blood to defend him from, exactly? Upvoted cause it's amusing, but it's a bit exaggerated.
*The British royal family and how they're funded is a whole thing. If they lost their titles but kept their possessions they'd arguably be richer than they are currently. You could reasonably dispute their right to their possessions, so I'm not gonna argue either way, though.
The reward is greater, but the risk is correspondingly great, if not greater. AAA single player seems lower risk to me, at least with an established IP.
The issue is that live service games like MMOs or Fortnitelikes are sticky. The kind of gamer who likes them generally plays a very small number of them over and over. And most LS gamers pick the same games, for community or quality reasons. Live service games either make it big or flop completely. There are no consolation prizes like there are for single player games. Most RPG fans will sooner or later buy Starfield, even though it was a bit disappointing. Most live service fans will never buy cosmetics in The Finals or Anthem.
Ugh... Strong NIH vibes. There's already the Liftoff! client for mobile, desktop and web. They should contribute to that instead and ditch jerboa and the web client. Anyway, a web browser is a terrible way to interact with the fediverse since the browser doesn't know about your accounts, so I'd advocate for getting rid of web apps altogether
