Star Citizen costs exceed Cyberpunk 2077, GTA 5, and RDR2 combined
The production cost of Star Citizen has now surpassed that of multiple triple-A titles combined, including the likes of GTA 5, RDR2, and Cyberpunk 2077.
For the sake of starting some discussion around here, I'm a week 1 kickstarter backer who is still in love with this project AMA.
Rock on, man.. I backed in early 2014, and it's honestly been such a wild ride throughout that time! Space Games have come and gone since then, and I've enjoyed my time with each and all of them, but nothing's held my interest quite like Star Citizen.
Even the janky fun present in the game right now blows most of the competition out of the water, for me personally. And the weekly videos into the development process (Jarod's the best!) are insightful and honestly enjoyable in and of themselves..
But it's absolutely not for everyone! But if people are honest with themselves I think they'll realize there's a reason people are dumping money into a project like this: it's got tons of promise, and there's quite a bit to show for it even now :)
Almost a decade … holy crap!
And I bet most of it has gone towards getting Chris Roberts a comfy nest egg for when he eventually decides he's got enough cash, cans the game, and runs away to some country without an extradition treaty to the US.
