300 million dollars is an amount that many developers dream of having behind their games. This incredible amount of money has been raised by fans and Star Citizen players. According to the live statistics provided by Rober Space Industries, 300,077,044 dollars have been raised in total.
The total amount of accounts created and purchased are 2,711,279. In order to play the game, fans have to purchase a pack, the cheapest package in game goes for 45 dollars. These huge numbers had a strong burst this past month.
The month of May introduced "Fleet Week", one whole week where players were able to try the game for free and fly several of the most expensive ships it has to offer. If you see the graph hosted on the RSI site, you will see that the month of May had a huge success in not only accounts purchased but ships as well.
If you do some math, this amount of money was the consequence of players buying their favorite ship(s) from the RSI store. Players can grind in-game money and buy a ship that way or just throw in some real cash and get the ship(s) that way.
Whatever the method used here, no one can deny that $300,000,000 is a huge milestone for Star Citizen. Here is the link to the official site in case you want to browse around the game's stretch goals or ship information.
