Let’s assume for a second the developer isn’t corrupt and is only spending the money on actual development. Is it even possible to spend that much money making a game from scratch?
Anyone still giving them money, is stupid or ignorant.
For those who have been living under a rock, and are ignorant about the game: It’s a crowdfunded game that started pre-production in 2010. Released early-access 2017/2018. Their funding passed $500m in 2023(over $800m now). They sold virtual ships for hundreds of dollars a decade ago, some of which are still not available. The game is still not finished, they’re still selling ships and collecting funding, with no plan in sight to actually have a finished game any time soon.
Scam Citizen.
at this point I have nothing but a feeling schadenfruede for Star citizen players.
Morons literally getting XP farmed by Chris Roberts.
I literally knew someone who spent like $30,000 USD on Star Citizen, Had almost all of the ships, and social engineered his way to a leadership position of an admittedly very small and inactive clan, he had all the ships, and only enough people in his clan to crew like 3 or 4 of them.
and because of his addiction, couldnt afford a place to live on his own so he had to share an apartment with like 5 roomates.
I spent $30 years and years ago. I’ve gotten hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of it. But you’re right that the more expensive the ship, the more people you need to crew it.
“in-game on day one.”
HAHAHAHA! Day one.
There is currently a game! I hate when they drag this early release stuff.
Got to keep that scam money flowing!
At least Duke Nukem Forever eventually launched a complete game, and it didn’t cost $20,000.
I love how gaming scaled with the millennial gamers income, games are so much better with all this revenue
Behold thine field in which I grow my reeps. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is sown.
