Forbes has just published a detailed 3,400-word report on the development and funding of Star Citizen, reminding us once again that there's a lot about this extraordinary, ambitious project that's pretty troubling - from the lawsuits leveled against developer Cloud Imperium Games to the fact that despite its years in development, the game only has "two mostly finished planets, nine moons and an asteroid" completed, according to Forbes. That's a far cry from the "100 star systems" promised when crowdfunding began. When its Kickstarter first launched in 2012, backers were given an estimated release date in 2014. The game has since ballooned, promising new content and features, and is still far from complete. With the addition of spaceships, which Cloud Imperium is selling many different models of for up to $3000 each, funds for Star Citizen have only increased - but the game's still seemingly no closer to actually coming out. Many backers have looked for ways to reclaim their money, but not many would continue to buy these expensive spaceships while seeking refunds for the $4500 they've already spent - like backer Ken Lord apparently did.
