Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

So I've been doing some rustic maths, based on Chris's last few announcements on paid backers (Dec 2020 - Dec 2022).

TLDM:

  • Averaged backer spend is now ~$300
  • Conversion rate is running around ~42%
  • If we use a blunt '$45 per starter pack' measure then starter packs have raised about 15% of funding to date (~$81m)

You are assuming each individual backer buys only one "starter pack" correct?

Oh yeah the 'starter pack' take is super-basic. It ignores price variability over time and location, dupes etc etc.

The point it's trying to make is: If everyone only bought a starter pack, this whole swirl of shenanigans wouldn't exist. So the newer $45 backers who say 'Who cares about the past? I'm getting my money's worth!' are ignoring who funded their solar-system-sized hoop and stick ;). And shouldn't try and smoosh those with more galactic-tier gripes...
