Star Citizen raised over $300 million USD to date
And the game is still an Alpha. We've been discussing the tactics and revenue stream for Star Citizen quite a number of times. Is it a cash-cow for thehigh-ranking people or not? Well, whatever they do, the business model is working as to date earned over 300,000.000 million USD in donations.

This can be done by purchasing the alpha version of the game and by spending money on virtual spaceships in the game. Prices start at a few tens of dollars and can go up to thousands of dollars.

I've given up hope for this game, with the amount of time and money raised it should of been out ages ago, been in development now for 9 years. Lovely sounding project and game, but by time it comes out It might be outdated haha. One of those games with too much ambition and maybe poor mangement. But somehow it has endless money going its way so who knows another 9 years and we might see it? haha

Ok, release aside, have this project brought anything new to the table? Like new technology or something else, so it benefits other games or programs?
