I think this quote at the end of the article is tellling:

	... If Star Citizen does end up hitting the goals that Roberts
	has planned (by beating his horses to death to get to the finish
	line), there is no doubt in my mind it will be amazing.

	Will it be fun to play? Not sure. Will it be an amazing tech
	and beautiful art demo? Absolutely.

For all the problems mentioned in the article, that was the only place I
found any mention of anyone being concerned about it being fun to play.
Better studios than these guys have cancelled practically finished games
because in the end what they came up with wasn't all that fun of a game
to play.  I don't get the impression that Chris Roberts really cares
that much about gameplay.

My guess is that it's going to end up like Kingdoms of Amalur, with some
sort of scaled down game being pushed out the door when they realize
they're going to run out of money.  It won't be enough to save the
company and they'll go bankrupt.
