I think people are so hungry or desperate for what Star Citizen is promising they are literally willing it into existence via crowd funding. It's the type of game I've dreamt about since I was very young. I remember playing space games back in the 90s and asking myself "wouldn't it be cool if you could fly your ship to a space station and get out and walk around?". Well here is my chance to help make that dream a reality. There's just no way something like this gets made going through the traditional game development process, where publishers would rather ship a sequel every year instead of taking risks.
