I think he picked Star Citizen since you can spend close to thousands of real dollars (US) on items that don't physically exist. It's really no different than running an unregulated lottery since you can't be sure if Star Citizen will ever reach published state (It's been alpha close to two years IIRC). So, I think his comparison is close enough to question the validity of at least Kickerstarting projects like this.
