There was a long article about one of the supporters who had paid in $30k towards SC. It was very clear he did not do so purely for the virtual ships but rather identified closely with the project and simply wanted to support Chris Roberts and his vision. I don't think you contribute at that level without understanding that you aren't buying virtual ships but instead supporting a vision that may or may not work out.
- scrollaway 11y agoI've backed roughly $2k (a lot of it which I re-sold to other players, fwiw) and I'm in the same boat - couldn't care less about the actual ships. Game-wise, I worked on a space sim myself and was faced by a lot of challenges I see CIG tackling correctly. Studio-wise, I've explained in my post above that CIG's transparency is the reason I'm rooting for them so hard. I want the model, or at least parts of it, to be successful - not just the game.
