Star Citizen, a sweet new space sim!

The game yet has to prove that it is kick ass. Chris Roberts has not released a successful game since 1996.

I had a poor experience on their site. Tried to pledge $125 with a valid card, and it was rejected... twice.
After, the multiple attempts I had made had all been registered on my account page as valid transactions.
Contacted Support about it and a week later the site removed the entire "Account" section from the main
page, after telling me to send them the transaction numbers. The registered orders were gone after it came
back online.

well, its all about money
I am willing to pay whatever it costs for a good game... but only if I see that this game is really good.
In case of this new Chris Roberts game nobody knows how it will be or if its actually playable. Maybe it will be like black prophecy... great graphics but crap online performance... lag... or a gameplay that sucks.
Like i said, he did not create a sucessful game since 1996... he even had to sell his company and get Freelancer completely redesigned by the new project leaders in order to get the game released. Games like Starlancer, Conquest or Brute Force are barely known... even fans of the genre.. so i have little trust that the next Chris Roberts game will be more than just hot air.

And personally I dont like people which did nothing for the genre for 10 years and suddenly appear like a hero that will save everything while at the same time he belittles other people work by his comments. Even worse, he will not just save the space sim genre... but also prove that PC games are not dead. Well, there are thousands of PC games a year and also many space sims in development. I am clearly wondering what that man is talking about and think he needs a reality check.
