I know this is a necro, but I just can't help myself. I took a look at that Star Citizen game and to tell the truth, it looks like utter crap. The "story" is copied from Star Ship Troopers sans the giant homicidal bugs. They say that the want to " build a living, breathing universe that is its own entity. It will be a constantly shifting and evolving place for people to go and escape to.", yet they make it clear that it is not an MMO and will have an offline mode. I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but this makes no sense to me.
They have no publisher, are crowd sourced, and will not charge anything beyond the initial game purchase. While this is noble they are also making the game easily moddable. This will kill their studio as I can see most people pirating it and then playing offline.
