A record $9.7M raised in Nov

[Montoya]

As I predicted earlier this year, we were on track for the biggest funding year since launch.

This Nov brought in 9.7M, which is the biggest month on record, and $250M raised!

Daaamn, close to 10 mil. Hopefully they use that money wisely and help get game out as soon as they can.

That's amazing!! I'm curious what the big selling items were, where they made the most money and where they didn't.

They have been finishing every year in the red as more and more employees are hired. This year they may break even.

Pisces game package with LTI for one, but I suspect the Kraken shopping mall had a lot to do with it.

That Kraken was tempting.

I thought there was an international ban on commercial whaling

Some of that is mine. LOL

Well they usually do pretty well at the end of the year because most of the ships go back on sale that you couldn't get and some become flyable so they are even more appealing, also a few ship prices went up or changed as well as adding the IAE insurance. so it didn't surprise me that they had a big ending. The more ships that become flyable the more the anniversary sales will make money as more people will buy ships just based on the fact that they are in the game now lol.

I suspect (like most years) it's the new player's hype. Old players don't buy as much imo. With more content every year more new players are hooked. It looks like Drake took the top spot follow by Aegis, and a close third between Anvil and Origin (not on graph).

You know, you'd think that would make them re-think the whole "luxury pixels" in the game approach and maybe just do functional but fancy looking ships.

One would think but I like my luxury pixels. And yes I am still holding on to the 600 touring.

Yeah my 600i fell victim to the CCU bug... it grew into a Polaris. I love the look of the 600i, I pictured it as being my luxurious Millennium Falcon in Star Citizen but it wasn't happening. I expected Origin's ships to have the same function as other brands wrapped around a luxurious look. Instead they're build for a new kind of gameplay that I reserve judgement on. So at any rate, the 600i became a Polaris and I picked up a Carrack.

Honestly, those were wise melts.

Yeah, honestly I think I'm going to be very happy. The Carrack came from an overall consolidation of my fleet which produced the store credit to allow me to get the Explorer pack for approx $200.00 out of pocket.
