My Take
Chris Roberts fascinates me as a believer who refuses to scale down his dreams. He defined an era with Wing Commander, then bet everything on Star Citizen, a wildly ambitious space sim that has stretched on for over a decade. I understand the impatience of fans, but I respect the sheer audacity of trying to build something this grand instead of settling for the safe and finished. An engineer who also directs films, he embodies a maximalist creative drive. Whatever the outcome, I find his refusal to compromise on the size of his vision oddly inspiring.
