Star Citizen is now half-way to being completely funded without any Investors
With 10.000.000 $ reached in funding just moments ago, Star Citizen is now 50% -completely- funded via crowd-funding.
The thing is, 20.000.000 $ is the "complete" cost to actually make the game (office space, hiring staff, etc etc etc etc) and Chris Roberts has always stated that 20M $ would be the cost, with or without investors.
But since it has been going so well for Star Citizen, they have turned down investors, and now they can turn down even more investors.
The less money from investors, and the more money from the consumers, the better.
It means the only people they have to "answer" to is us : the consumers/backers, and not any private investors.
Reaching 10M$ also means that they can get their own Mo-Cap Studio.
Either way, at the end of the month there will be a 24-hour Live-stream right around the time that Star Citizen launches it's new (and much prettier) website.
Let's hear it for 10M$ more!
