[Star Citizen News]Chris Roberts announces new Space Sim "Star Citizen"

“Thank you all - Five million dollars! - We’ll be right back”.

If you are cynical…

“Oh, yeah?”

<chortles>He just looks like a very cool feller!</chortles>

5.5 in the next few minutes. That’s an unreal amount of cash!

They made it!! with 1 hour and 35 minutes-ish left to go!

Heheh - which plane to Venezuela are they catching?

They’re taking us all on a trip to the Kingdom of Awesome, and grumps aren’t invited

Now they are going to take all and are never to be seen again

I hope that crowdfunding campaign have real pledges at RSI, not fake ones.

Why should a well known person be so silly, to make the FBI hunt him?

5M will give him a nice start and at least a year or two of time,
to develop the game (and of easy living).
With that it should also be possible, to get additional cash from a bank.

And I am pretty sure, we ll see a piece of software after a while.
The only question is, if we ll like it. But if we do, there will be
a big number of people, who are willing to pay some money for it

• which will Mr. Roberts earn much more than 5M.

And than maybe he can sell the new company to M$,
which could provide some minor updates, bringing us
funny things like pay-per-play and in-game-shops taking real $$$.

I think what makes me the most excited for this game is its transparency with modding. The fact that they’re going to embrace it and give software for modders…I’m so excited!

It would be crazy not to give modding software to the community considering the community made the game possible in the first place.

I’m just going to forget about it now and hope it’s a winner in a couple of years time. A recent heart attack has changed my perspective on life ever so slightly, and as a fit and active 36 year old, if it’s made me realise one thing, it’s that you never know what tomorrow will bring, and you’d be a fool to sit around waiting to find out. Enjoy the things that you can do now.
