I wonder how many starving children $37,0000,000 could feed.

Of all games ever made, Star Citizen is least likely to stop taking money.

Maybe at 40 mill they will stop taking any more money, and people will not be able to back it until the game comes out. Sort of what Project CARS did.

It isn't going to meet people's expectations.......probably not going to end well....

Well it's interesting that somehow they're going to magically hit 40 million and then it's going to stop.

The only way this can fail to live up to my expectations is if it actually succeeds.

Have they purchased Mark Hamill yet?

Wrong moment to do this! After decades of C movies, Hamill is now preparing for Star Wars Episode VII (aka Darth Mouse Project) with filming starting in April/May 2014. So, he would have worked for a bottle of warm beer and a week old hot dog a year ago, but now he's back in the multi million movie star circus.

Mark Hamill, who's done some of the best voice work in the last several decades - plus the greatest Joker of all time - has done alright for himself. Show some love, some respect, give some major props, gangsta.

Remember it's a $35 risk, if you want to play this game, it's $35. Everything above that is you committing to the making the project better and possibly buying physical stuff like shirts and mouse pads. $35 doesn't seem like too big a deal to risk for potentially getting this game in return.

Then again, the final game, if/when it comes out, will sell for 50 or 60 bucks. So there's not really a whole lot of incentive for me to sign up now. (incidentally, it was also one of the main reasons why I didn't back Elite, since he wanted like 40 bucks for a copy of the game.)

If they're asking me to take that much risk, I'll just wait for it to come out.

If you want me to back your KS and take the risk, there has to be something in it for me. Allowing me to get the game for 20 bucks is a good mitigator.

For me...well I'll have to dig a hole in my yard, bury all my SC related stuff and put a tombstone out there to properly deal with all the grief if this project fails to live up to expectations.

Oh, it's GOING to fail to live up to expectations, but that's mostly because people now expect this to become the best game of all time ever released, past, future and present, and it'll be a realistic simulator of life in space in the 25th century etc etc. When all he set out to do at the beginning was do another Wing Command and potentially make a Privateer Online.

I'm just curious to see whether it'll become a good game. And if it is, I'll gladly spend 60 bucks on it then.
