Roberts: We Won't Sell Star Citizen [Apr 01, 2014, 08:57 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A new episode of
10 for the Chairman on the Roberts Space Industries website answers further
questions about development of Star Citizen, RSI's upcoming space combat remake.
Also, there's more to the
$41 Million funding announcement that we
noted last
night where Chris explains that they have no intention of selling out to a
bigger company and disappointing their backers like
some crowd-funded projects have:
Now to answer the myriad forum threads that popped up worrying about the possibility of Cloud Imperium being acquired by another, bigger company – don’t worry! We have no plans nor interest in following this path! We don’t need to go to anyone with deep pockets to make OUR dream a reality. To mass-produce hardware like the Rift, you need an outlay of hundreds of millions of dollars. Luckily our ships are digital so we have hardly any cost of goods, just the cost of developing the universe of Star Citizen and running servers that Star Citizen’s universe will be simulated on. Thanks to the generosity of the Star Citizen community we have these two things covered
And last but not least I’m having way to much fun building the universe of my dreams for everyone to adventure in! I’ve been down the big company acquisition route twice before and there’s a reason I am making Star Citizen totally independently!
I'm as baffled... guess having the hate hard-ons for games is the way to go around here.
what is it, $35? for a chance at a great game, I'm also looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
With the amount of studios and people now working on this game(and the subsequent amount of community communication and material they show), it's too funny seeing everyone here going on about 'scam'... but then again don't know why I'm surprised, seems like the norm to bash games around here. If you guys hate games so much why keep coming to a gaming news site and posting hate over and over and over again
