The actual story. Pretty much sums it up. But we've heard it over and over.

Exclusive: The Saga Of 'Star Citizen,' A Video Game That Raised $300 Million—But May Never Be Ready To Play
Video game legend Chris Roberts has spent seven years building "Star Citizen," drawing in money from average gamers in the world's biggest crowdfunded project outside cryptocurrency. The game is still not done.www.forbes.com
Rough playable modes—alphas, not betas—are used to raise hopes and illustrate work being done. And Roberts has enticed gamers with a steady stream of hype, including promising a vast, playable universe with “100 star systems.” But most of the money is gone, and the game is still far from finished. At the end of 2017, for example, Roberts was down to just $14 million in the bank. He has since raised more money. Those 100 star systems? He has not completed a single one. So far he has two mostly finished planets, nine moons and an asteroid.
Why not make it one solar system, nix the light speed travel and make it a la The Expanse. At least you might be able to deliver on your promises.
