For 48k you could pay someone to make a working space game

Or buy all the space games that exist and included this game for 60$.

That game is gonna be one of the greatest examples of development hell

[De Hollandse Ezel]

pyrmid sceme?
money laundering?
idiots and their money?

i played erepublik a long time ago when it was new.
for those fremium ganes 98% of users never spenda anything.
amd that 2% that does spends usually spenda less than 3 euro once.
**
fremium games are a scam.. you oftem need more a month than proper morps cost in subscription if you want all premium options.

but erepublik truellu had a terrible record.
its lowest tuer wouldcrequire you to spend 100 a month.
its highest 10000a month. if you did spend a month less you would drop a tier.

sonehow there were 3 players from moldova with that 10000 euro amonth subscription.. insanity!

rumours were they were irl mobsters with lots of black money..

[De Hollandse Ezel]

I have since stopped playing "free" games.
I cannot afford to play them.
as they all cost hundreds or thoudands a month.. while obly worth a few pennies a month in actual programming quality.

[Grendalcat]

Cheap at half the price!

[Spawn]

bruh... this ♥♥♥♥ is surreal 💀

If you could resell them, that could be a good investment... Lots of suckers over there.

won't they just buy it directly from star citizen? you have to be ultra sucker to buy a resale of DLC.

And? :)

They've already bought into the game and are trying to buy from you, so...

I imagine there's some pack-o-ships discount, right? Or, is it an offer to buy all that crap at list pricing?

If so, it's makes sense, since it's a dumb offer only a sucker would jump at in the first place.

PS: I don't blame some who bought into the project early. But, anyone spending money there now needs counseling.

Messaggio originale di secuda:

Still better production cycle then Derek Smart games.

Now you've done it. You have mentioned "He Who Must Not Be Named." His Google Alerts just went off and he'll be here to scream at the thread and molest Valve's Coke machines, any minute...

The overall budget for this crowdfunded game is actually less then several other expensive titles that already exist. The dev time is a little long but they also built the company from scratch too.

When the mod makers/game makers tell you them charging will speed up progress on the mod/game. And then it slows to a crawl so each month they release a tiny update so people pay for years


When artists say switching to a patreon will make them more productive, then when they were a commission artist and they just release an image set a month rather than the usual set every week

[Pocahawtness]

Companies have charged real money for digital items for a very long time. This is nothing new. The only difference is the huge cost, which is crazy. But I am sure that someone will buy it!! In fact, I can think of at least one gamer who would be tempted by something like that. Just look at the people who have Badge Levels in the thousands.
