    Quite an interesting spot and read over on BBC: Star Citizen: Will big budget space game satisfy its backers?

    So, it's no small achievement that Star Citizen's creator says he has raised more than $108m (£75m) to develop the title via online crowdfunding campaigns.
    In fact, it makes the sci-fi space simulator the biggest crowdfunded project of all time.
    Not bad considering its creator, Chris Roberts, had originally hoped to raise about a tenth of the amount.
    That would have funded a much smaller game than Star Citizen has evolved into, Roberts told the BBC.

    I've also never backed one. Honestly though, there was a time when I almost pledged one, only for it to become one big mess and it got pulled a couple of days later. So the usual stuff.

    I'm on the fence about star citizen, not prepared to upgrade my system just to play a game like SC. In it's current state it just seems like it's only aimed at people who have deep pockets. I would love to be wrong about this though.

    Not even Elite Dangerous? Did you buy the lifetime pass after KS then?
    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    After KS yeah. But good point, I completely forgot about that. I guess that could actually be the same as funding a kickstarter. It would seem that I am absolutely full of shit.

    Honestly have not regretted it yet at all. But I can't help but be curious about SC. I want it, and will probably get it. But not yet. I do browse around on community sites to see how they feel about it and what the general reactions are to updates...

    I tend to buy/back it cheaply and then ride out the wave and wait for it to be in a decent state before playing it. I'm still waiting for E: D to reach that state

    Fair enough, I can see the value in that. How much of SC have you played?

    Less than an hour, but I'm planning on putting my time into my big backlog which includes E: D until SC is ready.

    I've also got one heck of a long backlog. Not as much as most of you, but it's still something that I don't really enjoy being reminded about. For us married / family men it becomes tough to find time for all this.
