Chris Roberts og hans studie, Cloud Imperium Games, kan roligt gnide sig i hænderne, for de har netop afsløret, at de har indtjent $113,5 millioner i crowdfunding til Star Citizen. Derfor nærmer Star Citizen sig hastigt Grand Theft Auto V's produktionsbudget, som ligger på $137 millioner. Studiet har sagt følgende:
"In our four studios around the world and our partner studios in Canada and elsewhere, people work tirelessly to fulfill the promise of this unprecedented project. Whether they're artists, programmers, designers, engineers, writers, directors, producers, and more, they're all gamers who want to share this experience with everyone reading these each and every month."
