Is it even considered an MMO?
I'd have to imagine WildStar is giving this game a run for it's money in the over-budget/time department with nothing to show for it. ESO is another massive train-wreck, but because its main demographic is 'millions of retards with cash', it'll likely be able to pull a SW:TOR and end up just barely turning a profit after a few years.
There was that sci-fi game/show that must've been a financial disaster as well.

well, he's had a solid job for a couple of years and this was his break into the games industry. if red5 do go under, i'm sure he will land on his feet
I mean, is there any question that they won't go under at this point?

well it seems their Chinese investors have deep pockets. My only thought is that they think the game will be huge in China so keep supporting them.
I wonder what the breakdown of money spent is.....how much of the chinese peoples money, vs the money red5 had before they invested, etc
edit: they are "on air" right now http://www.twitch.tv/R5STUDIOS

I played the pvp part of their game a long time ago, it wasn't good enough for me to even bother trying again. I have spent a decent amount of time playing the PVE side over the last year, it only works as something I casually play for a week or 2 then went for a patch or 2 to see the changes.
I had hoped their pvp would be good, the video showing the observer tools for broadcasters early on was impressive and showed they were serious about making pvp a major aspect of the game. I watched a jetball match a few weeks ago in game and liked the control over the views but the game itself was boring to watch so after messing with the observer options for 5 minutes I logged out.
Unfortunately the game looks like it will die out just like T:A but on a larger scale, their marketing was too aggressive in early stages where they lacked content and still have lots of bugs. Most people won't keep coming back waiting for the game to be improved.

There have been aimbots for the game for a long time.
i haven't seen a single aimbot till this one, so I doubt it and I pvp a lot.

Aimbots are pretty common in any fps, the CEO stated that 3% of the people that play firefall pvp. That is a bad number considering the time they have put into it and their attempts to make it a e-sport, they can't just tweak a few things and bring that number up to even 30%.
People don't PvP because there is no reward, it's pretty simple. The game is a MMO first, FPS second, people expect to be rewarded for the time spent in a MMO. Most people PvP in games like WoW for the gear, if they had added appropriate reward then a lot more would be PvPing.
