Cloud Imperium Games has reportedly amassed over $1,000,000,000 in crowdfunding since starting development on Star Citizen, a new report reveals. This impressive feat comes despite Star Citizen constantly eluding release, while its sister title Squadron 42 spends tons on bringing Hollywood superstars into the mix.
Though official figures on CIG's site show $859 million in funds raised, a new report (thanks IGN) shows Chris Roberts, Star Citizen's lead designer, claimed the studio has amassed over $1 billion total thus far. This is despite the fact that Star Citizen has no clear release date, was announced as far back as 2012, and still continues to be developed, even with so many resources available at hand. What's more, millions play its in-development builds, helping developers shape the title into the best it could be.
