Personally, I think it's great that they are getting a lot of money. I am just sick of being pinged by my friends whenever a new full million is reached. The novelty kind of wore off after the 12th million or something. It seriously reduces my anticipation for this game a lot. If it continues this way, I will probably be so sick of the franchise that I won't even install it, despite that I have already paid for it.

Not buying one bit.



Its one of the most successful crowfunded game in terms of money collected: and if they have the ideas (Chris Robert) + the money (People), you can bet your shirt you dont want to miss what will result.

We all know that they will produce a good game when it's finished, but the problem is when will it be finished? With a business model like this they can stay in development as along as they want. They are aiming for the top of the range hardware, stuff that wont be available to the mass consumer for at least 10 years.

I cant wait for this game, but I really hope it is delivered sooner rather than later. If they keep riding the wave of their crowd funding they will overstretch and collapse.

Still, organising a cRPG collective would be great.

Count me in.

Also, isn't that dogfight-alpha-test-thing supposed to come end of this year? There's something about this in the back of my head...

I used to be worried that if this game is a massive failure, it will destroy crowdfunding.

Now I'm unsure whether it will destroy PC gaming along with it.

Maybe that was the plan all along? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN.

Oh by the way, fuck you consoles. This article deserves a topic of its very own.

I don't know, it seems to me PC gaming is already succeeding pretty well.

What the hell are you talking about? PC gaming is almost dead, the only way to save it is giving more millions to Star Citizen.

Release date: Nov 2014
Crowd funded game
Developed by Chris Roberts, one of 3 greatest devs in my book

Now, we go back to basics with a problem I have: Chris Roberts is always going about not being limited by past technologies and current limitations etc: WHEN WE PILOT FIGHTERS IN SPACE: ARE WE REALLY GONNA USE central stick and lefthand throttle? we are gonna be FIGHTING EACH OTHER IN SPACE and we are gonna use a template for control built around physical limitations of 19th century technology? I dont think so tbh.

But really, Chris Roberts is a pretty limited guy, he has made ONE game, over and over and over again. Sure he keeps making the coffee sweeter and tastier, but it's still coffee.

He certainly proved that you can make millions by selling Nostalgia.
