I can't be arsed to read the whole article as the first sentence is plain wrong.
Star Citizen didn't "won" a total of 6.x milions with Kickstarter as it didn't get all of "investments" through Kickstarter.
I might be wrong, but the Kickstarter record is still held by Project Eternity.

I backed both projects so perhaps I shouldn't care, but c'mon, without precise data how can someone take the article seriously.
