The space simulation game Star Citizen has found a new way to extract money from the crowd:
Crowdfunded space simulation game Star Citizen has launched its $27,000 (£20,000) Legatus Pack, which includes nearly all its spacecraft plus extras.
Only players who have already spent $1,000 in the game can access the pack.
Cloud Imperium, the creators of Star Citizen, has received more than $200m in crowdfunding since launching a Kickstarter campaign for it in 2012.
According to its website it has more than two million players, although the game itself is still in development.

Naah, they'll be mad when you and 50 other people spawn the supercruiser at the same time at Olisar, making everybody else's framerate drop to 2 fps. :-)
(I'm forgetting now which ship was causing that problem. Connie? Starfarer?)
