The initial 'Star Citizen' crowdfunding campaign was successful, but it turned out that $6.2 million wasn’t nearly enough. They decided on a new, ingenious way to keep raising funds: Selling spaceships—hundreds of thousands of them
t’s October 2018 and 2,000 video game fanatics are jammed into Austin’s Long Center for the Performing Arts to get a glimpse of, the sprawling online multiplayer game being made by legendary designer Chris Roberts. Most of the people here helped to pay for the game’s development—on average, $200 each, although some backers have given thousands. An epic sci-fi fantasy,was supposed to be finished in 2014.
If you don’t play video games, you probably have never heard of Roberts. But in the world of consoles and controllers, he is Keith Richards: an aging rock star who can still get fans to reach into their pockets. Roberts first gained fame with his early 1990s hit, a space combat series that grossed over $400 million and featured Hollywood stars like Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell. He followed that success by starting his own studio, Digital Anvil, with Microsoft as an investor.
This is not fraud—Roberts really is working on a game—but it is incompetence and mismanagement on a galactic scale.
