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 haven't given CR any of my money. Prices for the ships etc are just too damn high for someone who has a mortgage.
That being said, a common theme on this website is "games today are derivative" and "everything is a COD clone". Here we have a game that is at least trying something different. Now, it's being bashed for the scope of what they're trying to accomplish.
As a person with a job, I understand the concern over their business plan. However, it cheapens your position to be so vehemently against this game before even seeing it in action.
