I think I understand your trepidation with giving any money towards this, but if you read over what they've done so far and what they plan to do, plus if you know anything about Chris Roberts and his histroy in the game industry, then you'll see why they need the money. Skyrim was made with a budget of roughly $14million, Star Citizen is on it's way to $17million with a current stretch goal of $18million. A good portion of Skyrim's budget didn't even get to go into the game, and not because they had to pay the people, but rather because Bethesda Game Studios had to turn around and pay Bethesda Softworks. Crowd-funded gaming is the future, in my opinion, and I hope it puts horrid companies like Activision and EA out of business.
