Star Citizen has taken unit monetization to a whole new level. It's basically art as a service: buy these ships that are unlikely to ever render during gameplay. And now they can't stop. If it stops expanding the whole thing will collapse under its own weight.

Star Citizen discovered a way to sell the imagination of being fully engaged in a game to people who don't actually have the time for playing that much (but have fond memories of wasting countless hours). It's a rather brilliant discovery. I wonder though how much of that has already been ruined by whatever beta versions exist.
