The
Stretch Goals
page on the Roberts Space Industries Website shows that crowdfunding for
Star Citizen (and
Squadron 42) has surpassed another milestone (thanks
PCGamesN). Cloud
Imperium Games has now collected over a quarter-billion dollars to develop their
space exploration game. As of this writing, the exact total is $250,537,095.00,
which is higher than the gross domestic product of several countries, including
the Marshall Islands. Crowdfunding for the project
began in 2012 with as an
effort to raise two million dollars to create a game originally planned for
2014, but as Nicolas Cage's character said in
The Rock, "Well gosh. Kind
of a lot's happened since then."
