star citizen, a video game that exists as the Forever Promise, first went public in 2012 through a Kickstarter campaign that raised $2.1 million. A decade later, through spin-offs, modules, in-game economies, and countless other feature and half-baked idea announcements, the game seems far from a real release.
But one thing it’s accomplished is making some money…a lot of money.As I pointed out earlier today in this post, the game’s official “funding” tracker on its website surpassed $500 million. As of posting, he has raised $589,473 from 4,096,539 backers.
$500 million. For video games that have been in development for over a decade. This is the point where, if he was five years ago, he would start questioning the future of the game, wondering how close he was to being “finished,” or joking. But now it’s his 2022 and now everything is just… sad. If there was an ounce of good management and someone on the team could separate the game’s unchecked ambitions from what was technically possible at the time, or even now, they would have by now made these terrible trilogies of games. could have ended completely.
