People say that star citizen has received too much money for development.

Should the real question be, have most AAA games produced so little for what development money that they've received? Look at all of the money GTA 5 has made & received for development & consider how poor of an experience the online mode is.

It's also worth considering how much of a AAA game's budget goes into shilling the game, instead of into actual development.

How do you even spend 200m on advertising a game?

pay off every publication to run ads, pay for the great reviews when the game launches, plaster ads on public transit, run TV ads (megajewbucks if you do it during something like the Superbowl), run ads before movies.

By catering to stupid kids, and paying the shills that enable them to make bad decisions.

Because of how amazing its glass was.

My question is why do we tolerate that shit? I see titanfall threads here, when the first game came out there was a solid month of template thread flooding old/v/ at all hours. Everyone that gives money to the company that pushed that kind of shit should be banned.

capitalism, spending more money telling someone to buy a product than actually making a good product :/
