Those blockchain numbers are just the total number of whatever altcoin * their current value (ie, the amount that someone last bought one for). It has no relation whatsoever to the amount of money that people have actually put in. For example, if you made 5 billion of your ICO tokens, then bought one from yourself for a dollar, you could put yourself on this chart saying that you "raised" five billion dollars. Good luck ever seeing it in the form of actual money, though

Oh, you mean that the top one should actually be $11 Billion (May 2018) and not gently caress my life?

Sure, put in whatever number you like. Wake me up if someone ever cashes in more than a tiny fraction of it

Thanks for your interest in Love Pledge! Luckily, all cosmetic items can be earned in game. We only sell items that directly effect gameplay for RWC (Real World Currency).

I know a lot of you have a lot of questions, which is why our team is working hard on getting a FAQ together before the next round of funding.

goddamn I'd waste $50 bucks on an account just to do this if it was possible, I remember when someone hacked me a bunch of money in GTA5 and I really appreciated that. I bet Citizens would as well :)

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

I don't really get the argument that CIG had to make the game bigger because of how much money they got.

That's called profit.

If Apple makes a phone, and charges a bunch of money for it, then makes way more in sales than what the phone production cost them, they don't turn around and try to give everybody more. They take profits.

CIG didn't have to make the game bigger. The backers asked them, via funding, to make the game bigger.

CIG hasn't made a profit or a loss yet. Thats the important thing to remember.

The second round of funding will begin soon. Unfortunately the previous owner (not naming names, although we know he posts on these forums) squandered a lot of the project's time, money and faith.

However, due to overwhelming support and love for the project, we will soon open another Kickstarter! This means the project will be wholly supported by you, the fans, and without any big publishers trying to guide, derail or dumb down the project.

I've even dusted off my coding fingers!

Ah, it was the evil backers throwing money at CIG that forced them to increase the scope! It all becomes clear now! Its the backers who are at fault!

I mean, its not like CIG could possibly have said "Thanks everyone for your support. We have enough to make the game now. Any more and the scope would spiral out of control. Let's deliver this, and then if we suceed we can look at further funding to expand the scope."

Nah, that's far too silly isn't it?

They didn't. Chris doesn't understand the difference between 'bigger' and 'better' and instead of using that extra money to deliver the best, most focused and fun experience possible, decided to mo-cap the oceans because he has spiders in his brains

AI pathfinding logic doesn't really change overall, even when you're pathing through arbitrary numbers of local physics grids arranged in arbitrary ways and constantly moving, all across millions of kilometers of space, with several modes of travel available to choose from at any time
