*edit to change the $ amount, missed some zero's. Thanks /u/warlordcs
4 million free to make accounts.
does it count free fly trial accounts?
It counts all accounts freefly and backer alike.
that seems a bit disingenuous to show that, that would be like seeing a SAAS company book demo's for a new product then adding that to their user count or licenses sold.
Yeah, pretty sure that's just the total number of accounts.
There are likely a large number of accounts with $0 spent, and I know there are a lot of accounts with $1000+ spent, so you can't really compare like for like, spending to account numbers.
Still, it's an impressive number to date, and the game's continued progress is definitely helping that to grow.
Of course, they are free to make accounts. It doesn't say backers, it says Star Citizens.
Another pro tip since you got the other one already--lots of backers have multiple accounts for referral bonuses (and other reasons). The average spend that I've seen estimated is more like ~$300 per backer on average.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....do you know how many marriages could end with that sort of information!?!?!? This is likely the one and only instance where "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is appropriate.
I believe you missed a couple zeros in your dollar amount
