Cloud Imperium Games marked a major milestone Sunday (May 24) as the game developer’s open world massively multiplayer online space game “Star Citizen” has reached $1 billion in lifetime funding before formalizing a release date for its full commercial launch.

It’s an impressive benchmark for any title, but especially for a game 14 years in the making that was originally targeting a 2014 release.
