the wing commander series was famous for inflated development costs, freelancer was repeatedly delayed and eventually released like five years after it's announcement, and since then... he's been working on star citizen

Keep in mind Freelancer was released after Microsoft acquired Roberts' company, kicked him out of a leadership role, and drastically slashed the scope.

Star Citizen is what happens when there is nobody above Roberts to say no, and now after years plenty of people under him with an interest in keeping the development churning.
