    I feel like if Chris Roberts had been kept on a leash, this game would have been out and beloved, with a less successful sequel also released.

      If you know the history behind freelancer and that Chris Robert didn’t finish it then it’s quite foreseeable how star citizen happened.

      In essence, you’re right. For freelancer he was pulled off the project and Jörg Neumann (now at MS with flight simulator) redefined the scope, set boundaries and finished it. Thats how the freelancer we know and love came to be.
