Cloud Imperium Games' crowdfunding record has become unprecedented in the history of the gaming industry.



Cloud Imperium Games has been developing Star Citizen since 2012, and during this time the project has accumulated over one billion dollars from more than 6.5 million players worldwide. The studio head Chris Roberts emphasized in an interview with Variety that every dollar received was directed directly towards the creation of the game.According to Roberts, realizing such a large-scale simulator within the framework of a standard publishing system would be unrealistic: no traditional publisher would have the necessary patience. Crowdfunding turned out to be the only viable model for a project of this scale.Speaking about the prospects after the release of version 1.0, Roberts compared the further development of the game to World of Warcraft — an MMO that has been alive for more than two decades.
