Star Citizen is the ambitious space exploration title that is currently in development by video game veteran Chris Roberts, via his studio Cloud Imperium Games. Although the concept of the game is a dream come true for avid gamers and space enthusiasts, Star Citizen, which will feature Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, has unfortunately found itself in a never-ending development black hole that is starting to worry the gaming industry and even some of its backers.
Ever since its announcement some seven years ago, Star Citizen has managed to garner widespread attention that easily makes it as one of the most crowdfunded video games of all time. Now, after Cloud Imperium has managed to pull in $240 million from its generous backers alone, a report from Forbes reveals that the studio is quickly losing money while making little progress on the game’s development.
Forbes revealed that out of the total $288 million that has graced Cloud Imperium’s bank account, only $17 million remained at the end of 2017. Roberts was then able to rake in more money by selling spaceship models that range up to thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, even after seven years, Star Citizen is still far from finished, apart from rough demos, and appears to have stagnated in its development process.
Several former employees of Cloud Imperium revealed that much of the lag in the development was due to Roberts’ “meddling” and “micromanaging.”
