    Most expensive CROWD FUNDED game ever....is what I have seen the most. Accurate yes?

    And as per usual,  comparing a company, Rockstar Games ,which over A decade after its release, GTA V has generated close to $8 billion, with hundreds of millions in annual revenue, to what?

    That'll be Minecraft son.

    And Yes, I posted the last 3 years of Rockstar (UK) studio expenses. The last released game was RedDead2 who's main studio is Rockstar San Diego (USA).

    GTA's are UK studio's baby, and yes, the last 10 years, last 3 included, have been spent developing VI.

    That's it, an yes, in the last 3 years of employee costs alone are more than the entire 10 years expenses of CIG.

    Deal with it. B)



    Did you really say that it cost more to make Minecraft than what they have spent on SC?

    Just wow.

    But no, of course you are still trying to talk all around the development costs right? 

    Right, how did that go? Deflection indeed....Another game that makes billions, compared to a game that has what again?
    You stated "Most Expensive Crowdfunded Game Ever". Minecraft was crowdfunded and costed Microsoft 2.5 Billions making it the most expensive crowdfunded game ever for Microsoft, and anyone else ;)

    This is what I mean about saving the thread!

    You can divide costs into two parts, making the game and year on cost of development and support. So Genshin Impact is the most costly game ever, but that is only because SC has not launched. At $630+ Million SC is the most expensive game ever made unless someone knows otherwise. Microsoft bought Minecraft for a couple of $Billion but that's not what it cost to make...look at the graphics! :)

    Microsoft didn't pay $2.5 billion for Minecraft they paid $2.5 billion for Mojang Studios.

    But thank you Babs for saving the thread with your child-like gibberish and random nonsense.

    How can you claim that with a straight face when Rockstar UK studios own financial records show that their employee expenses in the last 3 years alone almost doubles that figure?

    Do you need some kind of drawing?  :D

    Rockstar Studios has dozens of released games in their portfolio, RI has...none.

    I imagine GTA6 is the major money sink the past 3 years and looks like it will launch well ahead of SC. Any bets on which title will be more successful?

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    You really get upset and defensive over a game you make out to be perfect in every way. If it's so perfect why spend so much time here defending it? If you know people do nothing but bash the game here why bother? Seems like you are just wasting your own time posting here. ¯¯ \_(ツ)_/¯

    I love how this the most common response to any criticism of Star Citizen.

    Did your Lord and Savior Chris Roberts command you to constantly remind the heathens of how many backers and funding Star Citizen has?

    With as many cultists as he has Chris Roberts should form The Church of Star Citizenry.

    The facts are that the Star Citizen community needs to be far more welcoming of those who have been skeptical until now.  Chris has already spent all the money the True Believers have given him. When the game launches he needs millions of people who have NOT yet bought the game… to do so.

    The first test will be SQ42. He already has my money… and Babs.  He needs people like Kyleran.

    Oh but it is launched, as an alpha, and has evolved and been updated every year, which is why it's played and enjoyed by increasing number of players against all the sceptics, cynics and trolls predictions, That's an absolute win no matter how much you guys keep on hating or turn sides B)

    It absolutely doesn't :D No game community needs the jaded and damaged gamers. Besides, they're too comfortable being miserable and angry to be able to enjoy games anymore anyway, that's why they've made an hobby out of making excuses to not play games. They're happy in their own cult of perpetual negativity while calling people that enjoy games cultists with no self aware B)
