but I am thankful for all the other whales that add way more funds than me as otherwise the project and studio would collapse

Can you seriously not see how insane this statement is? This is exactly what I'm talking about, absolutely delusional thinking.

And you throw around that huge amount of money ss it is solely for developing the game, which is factual wrong. It goes to the wages of Devs and staff, the development of the studios and the game development.

I have no idea what you're saying here, paying the wages of devs and staff is literally where the money for a game's development budget goes. What else would that money be spent on? They've spent SEVEN. HUNDRED. MILLION. dollars on this game and you estimate it isn't even halfway complete?!? Where has that money gone?! What have they been doing with that incredible amount of time and money? Does it feel like a $700 million dollar game to play? Do you seriously think people are going to give them ANOTHER $700 million dollars to finish the game?

And fluctuations/turn over happens in that field of work, nothing to worry about.

There are many, many reports detailing the frustration that senior devs have with the development and the toxic work culture, and how inexperienced the remaining development team is.

There is nothing insane about it. Other studios are backed by publishers, CIG is not. The players and whales are literally the backer of CIG and Star Citizen/Squadron 42.
