Things I know about Star Citizen is that it's a hugely ambitious concept that some people feel will never be realised, regardless of the incredible looking videos. Also that Chris Roberts might be an even worse human being than Sean Murray.
Having played and got bored with Elite Dangerous (and having to erase from memory the £40 and 20 hours I wasted on NMS) I'm not really paying much attention.
Veeeery long post about the various issues here...

Never really get the "worst human being" titles that get banded about to games devs, despite marketing practices.
That link along with the rest of the (problematic) kotaku series is above.
I do think there's a weird level of (niche) hysteria around this game that pisses all over NMS.
That they have a ticketed con ONLY for their game is mad. That they've raised -/+ $100 million from crowd funding is mad. That some backers have spent in excess of $50,000 is mad. It's all mad. But a cool idea.
Worse human being than Sean Murray? Don't know. But a far better marketer.
CYOA
Why is no one talking about Star Citizen?
