Curious, at what point does the amount of money raised for an unreleased game become embarrassing?
Shouldn't you be asking Epic?
Fortnite made them $9 billion dollars the first 2 years and the game was technically early-access which is very much like what the Star Citizen alpha is being runned as.
BTW, what's with the nasty habit of jaded mmorpger's picking on everything crowdfunded lol?
What's the surprise there? As crowdfunded games develop they become more fleshed out and attract more players who join the fun while generating more funds.
Rinse & Repeat.
Just because you fell for the desperate "90 days top" FUD campaign of a
bunch of a haters doesn't mean you should be spiteful it didn't pan out
lol
Or just throw reason out of the way and just let that heavy emotional grudge follow through.
I, Babuinix, will stop spamming the forums with ridiculous Star Citizen propaganda at the point the project has been in development for ________ years and has raised over ______ dollars. At that point the game will be too embarrassing for me.
We make fun of ‘meltdown 890 spaceship man’ but this is pretty much the same league of non-related/sensical serial posting that has little to do with the actual game/company/promises. More then a decade in the making (and playable) and only 3.4 million star citizens joined during that entire time, that is a 117,60 PER PLAYER EVER in production costs right now. Funny how numbers without any context always look different then numbers with context.
Still, crowd fund on, the sky is the limit.

It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Well not really the same, Babs posts updates in a single thread which I actually enjoy checking in on from time to time as I find SCs fundraising more interesting than the actual game itself. (Made it a bit of a mini-game to try and guess the incoming flow rate)
In the other scenario said poster spams his personal 890 issues as nauseam in most any new SC thread regardless of the actual topic.
Anyways, I try not to go off topic in this thread, plenty of other ones for that.

You didn't really answer the question, being, at what point will you have had enough?
Me? Enough of what? Seeing CIG get more funding? Not really.
I didn't started the thread, nor what I've been doing in the thread is considered "spam".
This is a thread for crowdfunding milestones which I post as they happen when possible.
Now, if you go back a few dozen pages you'll see plenty of spamming.
Like with every other Star Citizen thread, Where flocks of cynics, trolls and haters would gather to feast on the possibility of Star Citizen collapsing while pushing their doomsday theories and other random unicorn shenanigans.
Guess that kind of "spamming" wasn't a problem lol
Still, me posting CIG crowdfunding milestones is as much about financial gains as it is about beating dead unicorns.
Didn't accuse you of spamming, really. In fact, I appreciate that the crowd-funding has been limited to this thread. That seems totally reasonable. I was just curious at what point you'd start to at least get cynical about the project. You aren't going to be here in 25 years, with 4 billion raised and no released game, still waving the SC flag are you? How about in 20 years? 15 years? 10 years? At point would teh Babs throw in the towel?
I backed back in 2013 and have been playing it since then, it has given me so many great gaming moments already and it's been a blast. Not only following it's development closely but knowing that while partaking in it I'm helping a company grow and showcase the power of the community and the lost appeal of space sims and taking risks in game development.
Why would I get cynical about this project lol? Do you need company in your misery like the old jaded mmorpgers' around here?
I thought there might be a point where you'd become skeptical.
Granted, it would be a point off in the future - say, 2025 or 2030 when a billion dollars has been raised and the worlds are still be wiped and the game is still in alpha and you'd be like, "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE F***********************************"!
It doesn't mean that would happen. For any project I kind of have a "do or die" date. Kind of wondering if you had one for SC - apparently not.
Impossible to happen because I can play the game right now and watch as it develops. They provide regular content updates along the years, the money they generate is due to the showcase of progress not because "blind faith".
Until they keep developing and improving the game the community will keep on backing. The normal trend is the more the game improves and becomes playable the more people join and the more money they will make.
