    His current promise honestly sounds like he’s over promising. Also, who keeps giving him money to make games?! I know the article says it’s self funded, which I guess makes sense, but did he really make so much over the years that he can solo finance this? Seems unlikely, but what do I know?

      A lot of people that have made quite some money continue to make quite some money because they invest that money. A steady stream of income allows you to easily take out loans and provide assets as collateral. So it’s not too weird that he has this money. It’s super easy for the rich to get richer.

      He has always had the tendency to overhype his games by a lot. But while he just burned money for over a decade now, he has created some pretty good games before that (Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, the Fable series).
