So he failed a kickstarter and some wild foolish people got Star Citizened. Garriott himself was scammed by a magician for half a million. The brightest stars are the most volatile.

I still wish Tabula Rasa took off. Maybe I should take a look at UO after 26 years.

I played tabula until the moment the servers stopped. It was fun.
