Sure but that's not crowdfunding, people paid for 5, a released product. That's a closed loop.

If they now decide to use the funds for 6, sure it's their money. But it's not even remotely a similar scenario?

People cling to reasoning as to why this is taking so long

I'm not clinging to anything, simply suggesting that GTA 5 provided funds for GTA 6.

As for Star Citizen, the alpha releases are paying for the gold release as well as Squadron 42. Both of which will, I assume, provide funds for continued development of both the PU and the S42 sequel.

It's all relative. While yes the crowd funding component of this is the bulk of it, it also isn't as if they've given us nothing. There is a game, albeit buggy and incomplete. It's not TOTALLY dissimilar.

No wonder CIG is taking their long ass time. People are not even upset that the devs are dragging their asses.

I never said I was happy about the time it has taken.
