After raising another $100 million in less than a year, Star Citizen's own tracker now shows the game's community has brought in over $600 million in total over its development lifespan.
I remember when Elite Dangerous came out as a beta, the subreddit was flooded with Star Citizen backers trying to discourage people from enjoying Elite Dangerous as it was an “inferior game”. (I’ll never understand this divisive sort of attitude, as if games were mutually exclusive and you couldn’t enjoy two games in the same genre).
Many years later and Star Citizen is very much an unfinished product and resembles more a loose collection of minigames than an actual game, whereas people have actually enjoyed years of playing a finished Elite. Oh well.
