If they’re keeping their head above water, even barely, it means they are keeping their head above water. Without delivering a product. For YEARS.
They’re earning money by selling empty promises year after year. Not a lot of money. They’ll never become billionaires from this game. But there are lots of people in there (mainly executives and CEO and whatever) earning a decent salary. On empty promises! It’s as close to a scam as it can be without being illegal.
I guess, but the fact they are now laying people off is for sure a sign that things aren’t going well enough. CR might live the rest of his life in a mansion but his legacy is in a crapper and he’s not gonna get another chance at this (at least I hope people wouldn’t fall for it twice).
Dwarf fortress is a finished game and the original version, which is awesome as is, was always free. Not at all comparable to star citizen or eve online
Look at it another way.

Their laying people off mean that the honest workers are losing something. But the actual scammers, the people at the top, they’re still there.
They lay people off because they don’t want to reduce their own salaries.
We’d all hope so but how many times have people fallen for Peter Molyneuxs shenanigans.
At least his games got (more or less) finished and are playable.
