Are we getting a trailer now everytime their crowdfunding passes another million? Not that I can blame them, if I was scoring that sort of money as a developer, I'd be giddy too.

They have over 400 staff working for them, multiple dev teams focused on different areas of the game. 400 * 100'000 = 40 mill per year on wages. And thats a big guestimate based on lower to mid level US Software engineering saleries being 90 -100'000 dollars. Let alone the heavy hitting engineers and cost of development licenses tools etc.

Just saying, running a big company ain't cheap. 327 mill in total ain't much considering what they're spending it on.

Funny what hello games can do with a few devs compared ot this. Although no mans sky is well, its not very impressive when compared to this, in terms of physics, gravity, scale, quality etc..

It's 600-700 employees now.

Playable and finished is still better than alpha.

This game is a joke and you can spot the morons that invested in it when they on here cause the defend it so quick. It's a joke it's over hyped trash and yet people still giving these losers Thier money.

Well I guess they couldn't have done so within the last two decades working on the game so probably it'll take another two decades

Personal Hangars sound brilliant for what is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious games in the galaxy.
