Here\u2019s a sample:\n\nRPS: So crowdfunding obviously went even better than you\u2019d hoped. What happens now \u2013 especially since you\u2019re working with a number of investors and other third-parties?\n\nChris Roberts: It\u2019s actually funny.

But the actual nice thing about it is that\u2019s allowing me to take less investment, because we\u2019ve done so well. We\u2019re still doing investment, but I\u2019m going to be a bit more picky in choosing it, and I\u2019m getting to dictate the terms better.\n\nWhether it\u2019s a publisher or an investor, they\u2019re about making a profit and a return. I care about making a great game. The bad situation we\u2019d be in, if I hadn\u2019t done the crowdfunding and I had to get a bunch of money from a VC, first of all they would get a bigger chunk of the company. Then they\u2019re more about, \u201cHey, I need my return.\u201d If it were successful they\u2019d be pushing us to sell to EA or something. We may not want to sell \u2013 we\u2019d want to keep it private and be like Valve and keep doing our own thing.\nRead the complete interview.\n\nAnd remember, Thursday morning at 9 AM PST (GMT -8) the Citizen Card shipping forms go down. So lock in any upgrades or changes you\u2019re going to need, this is your absolute last chance!","de_DE":"Das Team von Rock, Paper, Shotgun hat ein hervorragendes Interview mit Chris Roberts gef\u00fchrt, das die gro\u00dfe Frage stellt.... was passiert dann? Informieren Sie sich \u00fcber Chris' Gedanken zu den n\u00e4chsten Schritten f\u00fcr Star Citizen, Crowdfunding und den Stand der Spiele im Jahr 2013. Hier ist ein Beispiel:\n\n\n\nRPS: So ist die Crowdfunding offensichtlich noch besser gelaufen, als du es dir erhofft hast. Was passiert jetzt - zumal Sie mit einer Reihe von Investoren und anderen Dritten zusammenarbeiten?\n\nChris Roberts: Es ist eigentlich lustig. Jeder, den ich aufgestellt habe, ist im Grunde genommen \u00fcbergl\u00fccklich. Ihr gro\u00dfes Risiko als Investor ist: \"Ich unterst\u00fctze diese Sache. Will es wirklich jemand?\" An diesem Punkt steht au\u00dfer Frage, dass die Leute es wollen, und vielleicht viel mehr, als jeder erwartet hat. Aber das eigentlich Sch\u00f6ne daran ist, dass ich weniger Investitionen t\u00e4tigen kann, weil wir es so gut gemacht haben. Wir investieren immer noch, aber ich werde bei der Wahl etwas w\u00e4hlerischer sein, und ich werde die Bedingungen besser diktieren.\n\nOb es sich nun um einen Verlag oder einen Investor handelt, es geht darum, einen Gewinn und eine Rendite zu erzielen. Ich interessiere mich daf\u00fcr, ein gro\u00dfartiges Spiel zu machen. Die schlechte Situation, in der wir uns befinden w\u00fcrden, wenn ich die Crowdfunding nicht gemacht h\u00e4tte und ich einen Haufen Geld von einem VC bekommen m\u00fcsste, zuerst w\u00fcrden sie einen gr\u00f6\u00dferen Teil der Firma bekommen. Dann geht es um mehr: \"Hey, ich brauche meine R\u00fcckkehr.\" Wenn es erfolgreich w\u00e4re, w\u00fcrden sie uns dr\u00e4ngen, an EA zu verkaufen oder so. Wir wollen vielleicht nicht verkaufen - wir wollen es privat halten und wie Valve sein und weiterhin unser eigenes Ding machen.\nLesen Sie das komplette Interview.\n\nUnd denken Sie daran, Donnerstagmorgen um 9 Uhr PST (GMT -8) gehen die Versandformulare der B\u00fcrgerkarte unter. Also sperren Sie alle Upgrades oder \u00c4nderungen ein, die Sie ben\u00f6tigen werden, das ist Ihre absolut letzte Chance!","zh_CN":"The team at Rock, Paper, Shotgun has turned out an excellent interview with Chris Roberts that asks the big question\u2026 what happens next?
