Do you remember the video games that were announced in 2012? Star Citizen, the ambitious and controversial space simulator developed by Cloud Imperium Games, was one of them. Although it seems hard to believe, its official release date remains a complete mystery.
In case you don’t know, this space-themed video game started its Kickstarter fundraising campaign way back in 2012. At that time, it raised more than $2.1 million through community donations. In 2014, he won a Guinness World Record for having the most successful crowdfunding campaign of all time.
Find out: It’s not a joke: Star Citizen has not debuted but the sequel is already being considered
Enthusiasm for this project, however, faded over the years and gamers gradually began to question the studio’s actions; something normal if we consider that the game has been in development for a decade. Unfortunately, there is no indication that version 1.0 is anywhere near.

Star Citizen has already raised a million, but there is no sign of its debut
While it’s easy to think that fans will stop supporting this project in the absence of significant progress towards an official release, history has shown us otherwise. We say this because Star Citizen just broke a new box office record.
As we observe in the Roberts Space Industries official website , the space simulator made history by surpassing more than $500 million in the last decade. While the developers may have already spent some of those funds on updates and additional content, it’s undeniably an impressive figure.
We must remember that earlier this year it was reported that Star Citizen surpassed the $400 million mark in donations. Although it seems like a bad joke, the developers expressed their discomfort at the time when players criticized the studio for not keeping some promises.
Despite the fact that this independent video game has already doubled the budget of Grand Theft Auto V, one of the most ambitious and successful video games in history, still does not have a release date on the horizon and everything indicates that the situation will remain the same in the coming months. And yes, a sector of the community believes that it was scammed.
