Star citizen has raked in almost a billion dollars. It is on par with all the revenue WOW has ever raked in in all of its expansions combined. Its a whale harvester with a game slapped on top. Youre free to think its fun, it should be given how much money had been dumped into it but everyone else is also free to think its more or less a ripoff/scam.

At its peak, WoW had 12 million people paying $15 a month. That's over a Billion in 6 months.

Is that wow as in world of warcraft that you are talking about? Years ago, wow had already raked in billions upon billions, it's bound to be far over 10 billion now. Star citizen won't even come close to that.
