I occasionally check on Star Citizen "development" just to look at the drama, and some of the stuff they're selling is straight-up obscene. There are ship packs that cost literally tens of thousands of USD (IIRC the most expensive one (legatus pack) is ~50k USD), and you have to have already bought thousands of dollars worth before you're allowed to buy it.
Chris Roberts might be a huge con artist, but there's no doubt he's mastered the art of milking gullible whales for all of their cash.
Also, I always laugh when I see people talking about buying copies of Star Citizen for their kids so they can play together when the kid grows up. Seems pretty unlikely that the game will be out by then, given they've spent 10+ years with no meaningful progress.
