What's the elevator pitch for Star Citizen?asked by Brian Feldman

Essentially it is to live a completely virtual life in a science-fiction universe that has almost no boundaries. It's an open sandbox that allows you to be whatever you want to be. If you want to be law-abiding, you want to be a pirate, you want to be a farmer, you want to be a trader, you want to be a miner — it's almost like a second life that's in a science-fiction universe realized at a fidelity that hasn't been previously possible. It's essentially the dream game I've had since back in the '80s. You were like "Well, if we had supercomputers then we could do this!" The technology's moved on so much now that a lot of the conjecture back then is possible with enough time and money. We're lucky enough to have support to be able to do that.
