To be completely fair, a movie and an amusement park can only give you few hours (maybe days) of fun, but a good game provides way more than that.
I played Freelancer before I moved to Linux, that's a few years of fun experience, and as a bonus I also met many interesting people in that game. It's just a good investment for my entertainment.
The primary problem that Star Citizen faces at this moment is not poor management of money, instead it is that the fun the game provides is not unique any more.
For example, Elite Dangerous, which you can download and play right now, can deliver I'd say 70% of the fun that Star Citizen promises. There is no reason for me to lock my eyes on Star Citizen anymore, especially when you consider the fact that gaming is just a small part of ones live and spaces games are naturally grindy (maybe not correct, but the space game that I played, Freelancer, EVE Online and Elite Dangerous all require some level of time investment), you can only play so much.
All things considered, Star Citizen is not on top anymore. And that's .... scary if I'm Chris Roberts.
