Star Citizen offers something in return in the form of the promised game and ships and higher purpose in joining the mission to revive the PC sim. Participation supercharges both: it offers you citizenship in a lively community of fellow dreamers, and even offers the chance to change the game itself. Whatever you’re “selling” today, there is great advantage in providing all three returns. To lay this out as an unscientific (but useful) equation, think of this as: (Something in Return + Higher Purpose) x Participation = Participation Premium
