#2lol. Until the money well runs dry there never will be any. The gig is just too good to miss out on.

#3All the money shenanigans aside, it's interesting watching technology catching up with it. It's starting to look pretty dated for a game that hasn't released yet.

#4I almost want to contribute just to be part of history.

#5Say what you will of Star Citizen, there is actual gameplay... more than other crowd-funded games like Chronicles of Elyria or Earth2 can claim.
Not that I'm going to bat for Star Citizen.

#6It's a heated race with HL3. Duke Nukem Forever took 14 years, so I wouldn't call this dead quite yet.

the compensation required to keep the boat from rocking must be staggering

Is there any gameplay? I’ve tried playing it but the performance issues made it near impossible. I’ve got a decent rig so it wasn’t a hardware issue

#912 years and $700M later, they're on Alpha 3.23.
When this game started accepting donations, it was 2012. Mass Effect 3 was released in March of that year. Mass Effect 2 was released just two years previous, in 2010, and the first game in the series was released in late 2007. Less than four and a half years from start to finish.
I know that development cycles have been growing quite a lot longer, but this is ridiculous...
Aside, does $700M make this the most expensive (or, rather, well-funded) video game of all time?

#10If there there was too much of a good thing, this project seems to be a poster child for why you shouldn't get over-funded. Maybe one day it'll be a thing, until then o7
