Chris Roberts' massively multiplayer space combat sim Star Citizen may have finished Kickstarter funding a long time ago, but Wing Commander's creator has continued to accept donations on-site since and has added another $7M in funding to hit $9M.

Star Citizen's Chris Roberts has said how publishers today are "really guessing" as to what gamers want, as they "don't really know." They just bet on what worked yesterday, over and over again.

The Wing Commander creator says this has led to plenty of fatigue. It's harming the industry and preventing people from "picking stuff that works for tomorrow." Fortunatly there's crowdsourcing...

Chris Roberts, creator of Star Citizen, has enlisted the help of CryEngine 3 to create his game. With a triple-A setup, he decided it would be fruitless to release an expensive console title at this stage of the generation. He also suggests using a traditional publisher wouldn't benefit his product.
