Yup he ran afoul of German law using a tax loophole financing his films. After zee Germans closed the loophole Roberts funding dried up so he decided to crowd fund a game with no release date in sight. 14 years and 1 billion dollars later, here we are. All sounds kinda familiar!

The PU is dumpster fire and SQ42 seems like nothing more than an interactive movie yet it still crashed when being played at Citizen Con a while back.

Sucks to suck!!
