I feel like that article would have made more sense had it been from the Babylon Bee, or The Onion.

You know what’s insane about this game...2020 so far has been their biggest year of funding with 48M. There’s 4 1/2 monhts left in the year. 8 years and not close to release and they are raising more money than ever. Simply crazy.

I don't understand how it raised money in 2020.

The game is a hollow junk of shit and the devs proved they can't allocate resources. Who keeps pouring money into this piece of shit?

I mean what are we supposed to believe?

When the budget crosses 1 billion raised, this is officially a project thats been subverted for ill-intent. The believability that its raising good-will money from grass-roots interested parties falls wayside once we reach a certain critical mass.

That or they have somehow accrued private investors but only publicize their resources enough to keep afloat.

Private investors would be a good thing for SC. Only way it'd get finished is with a publisher sticking his foot up their ass.

It's basically a gambling addict mentality - the player has already lost so much playing Blackjack, but they're convinced that this next hand will be the lucky one and make all that prior "investment" worth it.

Anyone have any idea as to the total cost for every ship since Kickstarter?

Over/under 25k?

I was curious so:

starcitizen.fandom.com

List of ship and vehicle prices

Ships and vehicles are listed from lowest to highest standalone price in alphabetical order. Only the ships and vehicles that are available as standalone to players are listed. Ship packages are ships that are packaged with a Game pass to play the game. All ships may be Upgraded at a later date...
starcitizen.fandom.com starcitizen.fandom.com

Survey says : over

Yikes.

That was all ships available in December 2019, so add to this the cost of all the ships they've announced in 2020. :)

This fucking "game". It will never release in any way, shape or form of what was originally promised.

I didn't give him any money, but that is only because of laziness and luck. If I had gotten of the couch back then, he would have tapped my wallet too.

But I would still buy this game if it released and was even close to Freelancer 2.0. That's how much I want it. So do millions of other people, and Chris is sucking them dry.

Chris Roberts found the golden goose demographic of middle aged men with tons of disposable income, low expectations, and unlimited patience to collect digital ships. SC is going to be everything and nothing at the same time. You’d probably get a completely different answer about what kind of game SC is going to be if you asked everyone that has spent over $1k on it already.
