Star Citizen has raised over $300 million now

[LEGEND67]

Almost seven years after its original Kickstarter, Star Citizen has now raised over $300 million in funding from its players. As I write this, 2,711,428 people have pledged a total of $300,145,173, mostly through buying expensive digital spaceships for amounts that might make an ordinary person question their life choices.
Back in December, Cloud Imperium Games crossed the $250 million mark with a particularly good month netting them roughly $11 million, but player investment dropped to a "mere" five or six million each month following that. Until May, when their monthly total suddenly soared to over $15 million. As Altchar.com points out, this is probably due to the release of the Drake Complete Pack 2950, a bundle of 14 ships which sold for $4,600.
Right now it's Alien Week in Star Citizen, with a focus on the extraterrestrials of its setting, and their ships, which are on sale.

And yet still no release date after all these years. Star Citizen the intergalactic kickstarter "game scam".

It's "crazy" I know.

Wow, $300 million is a lot of pledges.

So they said now it's feature complete. While it does look good from the latest dev update/trailer video, but still after more than a decade they still cannot say the release date even for the separate single player campaign portion of the game lol.

This is turning into the Duke Nukem Forever of PC games lol. How can you continue to receive funding for the game and still not even hint at a release date?

The number has crossed 600 million. They could build a real space craft for that much many.

That's a lot of money for something not yet released. I wonder how well it will do once it is actually released. Will people like it?

My non existent children will graduate college before Star Citizen is released

Excellent post! I found it both informative and easy to read. The explanations were clear, and the insights were extremely helpful. I also explored a useful resource here : skipthefakes.com/escorts/decatur detailed and reliable information.

One of my coworkers played this game during their free to play days last year. I can't believe this game hasn't been fully released yet, it's absolutely crazy especially with how much money it's earned.
