@karkar88 You do realize that it doesn't work that way right? $73mil for a AAA game is cheap these days. Really cheap. Most AAA games these days cost a lot more than that. Albeit, a ton of the funding in other AAA games goes into marketing alone. Which Star Citizen managed to avoid by using community word of mouth, but AAA game development often costs far more than what Star Citizen is currently making (such as Destiny's $500mil or GTA5's $265mil). That's why I find it hilarious when some nay sayers on here yell it will fail because of it now having a $70mil budget (claiming that's too much money), then go and preorder Destiny, GTA5, AC Unity etc. Which all had budgets that are 3, 4, 5, 6 times the budget Star Citizen has. GTA5, of which, being the only success, with the others sparking community rage at their failures.
Which leads to the inevitable question. So it's not OK for big publishers to fail at making AAA games, but for crowdfunded indies, they're demise is rooted for? We complain about game innovation stagnation, the same games constantly be regurgitated over and over and over again (COD), but then root for the failure of an Indie company trying to bring something new to the table? Are you serious? What sense does that make? Some people just don't have common sense or just enjoy their lives as walking contradictions.
I'm not telling you to buy Star Citizen. Hell, I'm not even telling you to support Star Citizen. All I'm asking is to be a little more realistic about Star Citizens current budget when compared to the current industry and to not root for it's demise out of some foolish urge to be a tr0ll. Star Citizen has easily been the most transparent crowdfunded project I've ever seen. They've had small delays, but actually have been producing tangible results. And the quality of the work they've released so far has been top notch. And because of this exceptionally high level of transparency, I am satisfied that they've been using the funds for the development of the game, rather than just sitting on it getting personally rich. That's a lot more than I can say about any other crowdfunded game I've seen so far. Although Kerbal SP ranks pretty high up there (even though they're not technically crowdfunded). I have some complaints regarding the pricing of Star Citizen's ships (way too expensive), but that's crowdfunding. I don't have to buy the ships, just like you don't have to buy the game until it comes out or if you want to at all. But rooting for it's demise for no reason other than for your own personal chuckles is just downright uncalled for.
