Star Citizen Reaches $75 Million!

Roberts Space Industries has reached another incredible crowdfunding milestone, $75 million! Chris Roberts has largely downplayed the dollar value that they've reached and instead chosen to focus on all of the big things the team at Cloud Imperium Games is doing. They've been furiously working toward the 1.1 release of Star Citizen, which adds more ships, multiplayer options and feature enhancements. The team has also has a very busy traveling schedule. After a big presence at PAX East earlier this month, they are now hosting events at SXSW. While up on stage in Boston, RSI also teased EA with the slide pictured upper right. Last, but not least, they've posted a cool video that interviews their Community Team - with a few familiar faces!

Last Day For GOG Sale, Unbundling Also Announced

There's just about one day left in this weekend's 60% off sale for the Wing Commander series and other EA franchises. GOG has also announced an unbundling initiative that will change how games are displayed in your library. There will be no change in the packages or prices that will show up in the digital store, but when multiple games are grouped together, they will soon be able to be downloaded separately. Each title will also get its own separate place on your virtual shelf. This affects Wing Commander 1&2 for sure, and it should also apply to Prophecy and Secret Ops if GOG is on the ball.
