If you need $600m to make a genre defining game over the course of decades, maybe it isn't worth it.

600$ million for TWO games. Cyberpunk cost 200$ mill and didn't even work on official release.

Squadron 42 is the primary development focus.

Star citizen is built by a small portion of staff using leftover parts from SQ42.

When SQ42 is finished, star citizen will be tho main focus.
