Only another two hours until I can get wasted on cheap beer and ransack The Commonwealth. I am very excited.

So here's a picture of all of the funding to date that I compiled from that community tracking spreadsheet. Warning: Huge.


Red is daily funding (right vertical labels), grey is total funding (left vertical labels), horizontal is date.

I find this very interesting- the rate of funding seems to be on the rise, despite no apparent effort to bring in new backers. Moreover, the three recent big sales were the biggest since 2013, easily exceeding the sales last year after the release of the PU. Five years into fundraising with no substantial release, this is extremely unusual.

One interesting trend is in the daily funding, if you exclude the spikes- there's a definite decline from 2013 through the end of 2015 on day-to-day income, but then in January 16 it hits levels never seen before. Who's spending all this money?

I know the common conspiracy theory is that the funding tracker is rigged, and maybe it is- I don't know. Occam's Razor dictates that it's a lot more likely that something is screwed up with it than that people put in $30 million in new cash, 4 years into this trainwreck.

I bet if I examined the rate of new account creation we would find that it's been declining, and that might give me an idea of how much of the current activity was melting and rebuying from existing backers.

Its the planets. People already see themselve as fearless explorers claiming a homestead, a desire most backers had in real life but where denied by (fate/the economy/republicans/democrats/muslims). What DLC sold more for Skyrim ? Heartfire, the one where you can build a house. Sci-fi fan where burned by NMS but instead of learning most of them decided "This will be No Man Skys done right !" and they keep chasing the dragon tail. People look at the Demo at Gamescon and judge then like they judge big AAA demo at E3 - Ie. We show you something now to be released november/early next year.

The interesting part is that if you divide the 130M$ by half a million backers (the number turbulent released), its only about 65$ a year over 4 years. About a single AAA title, something many would call a resonable spending for a hoby.

And who know ? Maybe SQ42 will be a loving masterpiece revitalizing the genre. Maybe lightning will strike twice. The Pyramyds and the Great Wall show that if you throw enough money and human suffering at a problem great things are possible. Its wastefull and barbaric for the slave doing the works, but your legacy still stand the test of time. Who know what will emerge from this dumpster fire at the end ?

Guys, I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I've just been on the RSI website and they have this great 'Intro pack'. Might pick this up while I can to get a head start in the PU.



But then that got me thinking that maybe I should buy these instead...



Help me out here goons! Which should I spend my hard earned disposable income on?
Some of the bigger backers (the five figure ones) have spent more on Star Citizen than I will probably spend on games in my entire life.
