Why would you complete a game when you can make a constant stream of income and increase that income stream with announcements and drip feeds.

Look at this madness https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals

64th million has finally allowed for the technology of having pets added to the game

Jesus fucking Christ! What a goddamn scam.

If you donate 65 million dollars worth of stretch goals we’ll make the game! But only if we meet the stretch goals.. otherwise go fuck yourself, give us more money!

That whole page you linked is fucking gross. What kind of morons have dumped 65 million dollars into an unproven fucking kickstarter

Seriously, I encourage people to read the text for some of these stretch goals of tens of millions of dollars, it’s a goddamn scam

For reaching 3.5 million in donations, this is the stretch goal reward:

  • Cockpit decorations – Turn your stock cockpit into your home with personalized decorations; amaze your friends with bobbleheads, photographs, dinosaurs, fuzzy dice, nose art, posters and many more cool options!
  • Ship boarding – learn more about how Star Citizen will allow players to conduct boarding operations.

It sounds like a fucking scam, 3.5 million to be able to place decorations in your ship???

For 19 million dollars:

  • Know your foe with a Jane’s Fighting Ships style manual free in PDF form to all pledgers.
  • Manage Space Stations – Players will compete to own and operate a limited number of space stations across the galaxy.
  • RSI Museum will air monthly, with a new game featured each time!

Like really? You needed 19 million dollars to be able to provide a pdf ship manual to users? Good thing the PDF is free though!!! (Free, after paying 19 million usd of course)
