Crowdfunding campaign

In October 2012, Cloud Imperium Games started a crowdfunding campaign on their own website for Star Citizen. The Original Site showcased a trailer for Star Citizen with lore and an original goal of $2,000,000 USD for development.

$123,000,000 USD later (As of Sept 12 2016), Star Citizen is one of the largest crowdfunded projects in the world and it continues to steadily grow. Additional Stretch_Goals were developed beyond the original $2 million with expanded systems, ships, mechanics, and other features. Kickstarter was used in parallel with early crowdfunding, with all current funding managed through the RSI Website Funding page
