Freelancer was as good as it was because Microsoft bought the studio, and Roberts was out, they then spent a while cutting it down in scope and trying to fix it.

It's a miracle.

It took me two hours to read through that thing but it was well worth it. Fascinating article with some great insights into Chris Roberts, and seemingly as relevant now as it was in 2016.
