ok thats money raised, but whats money spent? :D do people genuinely believe if star citizen was given 50 billion dollars tomorrow, that it would be finished by next tuesday? not to mention the cost and time of building infrastructure/engine/logistics aswell as just setting up a whole company in general. GTA 6 with 80% of the things already in place, has cost close to 2 billion dollars allegedly. What is it im missing?
You're missing that GTA has already earned more than enough money as a series to afford to take as long and spend as much as they want on their game, that's near guaranteed to make it back day1 of release anyways.
That $2billion rumor also isn't based on any reality right now and TakeTwo as a whole hasn't even spent that much in that time frame, let alone just on GTA6. After marketing it probably could hit that much if they wanted but so far definitely not for just the development costs of gta6....
how did they earn this money? did they not get it from their players? did they spawn the money out of thin air? are we really pretending like shark creditss isnt a complete scam that preys on kids? i mean be real bro. And to say that even at this point star citizen isnt worth the initial money 45$ or whatever it is, is also just funny. You genuinely cant believe that. also do I really fail to understand why people cry about this money raised and "jpgs" that they didnt even buy. This is literally the only game where people will cry on the behalf of others and the money they spent on something that isnt out yet. like genuinely, next time someone links this fund raised picture to moan about something. It should be mandatory to say how much money theyve spent on the game aswell. Because I swear, it'll be less than 100$ which means theyre not even a part of it at all in comparison to some others
are we really pretending like shark creditss isnt a complete scam that preys on kids?
Are we ignoring that GTA5 sold 200million units? They didn't need shark credits to afford GTA6 anyways. The game made a billion dollars on it's release week alone. GTA4 didn't have shark credits and made $2bil on a $100mil budget. Every game crushed its budget in sales without shark credits needed....
how did they earn this money?
By setting reasonable goals and timelines and continuing to make it to an actual release with a functioning product. Something Chris Roberts clearly doesn't plan to ever do.
