n1300 employees doing what? $6MM per month burn rate (self.starcitizen_refunds)
submitted 11 days ago by Novel-Satisfaction33
hey space friends,
SC is one of favorite bits of vaporware ( outside of the Phantom gaming console and the next game of thrones books ). so I check in every now and then for a read. I took the 800MM and divided by 10 years of work and got a burn rate of 6.66 Million per month. that’s a lot obviously, but divided by 1300 ( listed number of employees ) it’s not absurd.
But i got to thinking, that seems like an awful lot of people. Does anyone know how those people are allocated? im not real familiar with how developers are split up, I assume you have a ton of guys doing models and rigging and environments. but how many of those people are programmers, and what kind of programmers do you need? I mean do they have 50 X 100 man programming teams/divisions? that seems like what you’d need to build operating systems, not work on the engine, or whatever.
750 programmers writing 10 lines of code per day over 10 years is like 18.5 millions lines of code. That is about 1/3 the size of windows 10. That’s a pretty serious undertaking. You’d need some real top tier production managers to handle all that work

Attempt at refund after 10 years (self.starcitizen_refunds)
submitted 1 month ago by Aeghan
Hello, I’m an accidental whale
So I have always spend small increments on the backing of this project “better than buying skins elsewhere” well, today it dawned on me. This month it’s ten years since I first backed. And I’ve just lost faith it will deliver what I hoped it would. And that for the longest time I’m annoyed with the lackluster communication.
I have officially requested a refund on all my pledges as I’m an EU citizen. I got the usual response “30 days refund period is not applicable”
Now I wait for 14 days and then let them know I’m willing to push it onwards with a letter of intent.
As the pledge is a pre-purchase on a product that wasn’t delivered still. And because of the misleading information and empty promises, I have the right to have my money returned. Because the transaction is incomplete.
