Star Citizen Crowdfunding Hits $29M [Nov 23, 2013, 1:11 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Roberts Space Industries website announces that the crowd-sourced
fundraising for Star Citizen as the PC space combat game has now passed
the $29 million mark. This triggers a new stretch goal, and it seems their
imaginations are losing pace with the funding, as this just promises to spend
it, as "additional funding for the Squadron 42 single–player experience," and
this new trailer
offers an explanation of the game's single-player experience. Here's word on how
fans can help with the writer's block for their next stretch goal, if it hasn't
been reached already by the time this is posted: "Now it’s time for you to pick
the $32 million stretch goal ship. We’ve removed the winner and the
lowest-performing option from the last poll. What will it be now? A massive
cargo hauler, a speedy information runner, a dedicated salvage ship? The choice
is in your hands!"
Oh, and the reason sandbox games cost so much money is because they are HUGE companies.
Now you look at Cloud Imperium, it's an independent studio, so ar the one's they're working with. He has ABSOLUTE creative control over the game, he does not have to answer to the bean counters or suits that have no idea but think it would be cool to do *insert here*. This allows him to do a lot with a lot less.
