    Good faith, no. There’s about as much good faith as a silicon valley tech bro looking for venture capitalists.

    I don’t think Chris Roberts doesn’t believe in what he’s doing. I genuinely think he wants to make what he’s promising because he’s been trying to do that since the 90s. But he’s also milking the development time/funds as hard as he can.

      He’s also using the funds to live out his dream of being a movie producer, something he desires as much (if not more than) being a game developer, with the Squadron spinoff mainly being an excuse to hire big-name actors he likes to deliver his script.

      Not that that’s a bad thing, but he hasn’t really changed much over his decades-long career, flaws included.

        He filmed those scenes 10 years ago now.

        Some of the actors are going to be dead before it releases

        Well, some of those actors know him. Mark Hammel has worked with him before in Wing Commander.

        But yeah, you’re right; same old Roberts.
