Ah the greatest crowdfunder at all Star Citizen raised hundreds of millions and is still in Alpha after, 8+ years......

Ugh the pain star citizen brought me and my brother that were so excited for it when we learned of the project a decade or so ago. We were both huge wing commander fans. Years back o even spent $75 on one of the packages (I got a refund btw) . So disappointed in Chris roberts with that game it feels so “scammy” now. My brother and I have both sort of blacklisted that game from our conversations even years ago. So yeah crowd funding is one of those blessings and a curse kind of things for enthusiasts of whatever the project is they are backing. Choose wisely what you support but also for your hopes not getting dashed.

I still have my "package" but not logged in their website for 5+ years. Total scam.

Elite Dangerous is better and the £100 kickstarter got me free updates forever too.

Back to FGU, I just upped my backing to the Ultimate Licence version and I will gift the licence to a friend or maybe as a giveaway on my stream.

Hundreds of millions?

Apparently so. :|

Kickstarter only shows about $2m
The page you linked to suggests people are still contributing over $1m/week (via other channels) even after 8 or 9 years!

IIRC, they started using their own crowdfunding to support "development"

and it is still in Alpha...
