I checked up on
funding stats on the Star Citizen site and was blown away by what I saw.

| Star Citizen Funding Page - 2 January 2020 |
From 5 December, when I last checked, to 2 January, CIG raised over $8.1 million. While the graphic is a bit hard to read, for the 4th quarter of 2019, CIG raised over $24.6 million in crowdfunding. Finally, going back to 1 September 2019, the amount raised over the final four months of 2019 was $27,661,181. To put the figure into perspective, CCP averaged
less than $12.5 million in revenue per quarter over the first nine months of 2019.
Unfortunately, I didn't record the amount raised through New Year's Day of 2019. I did record the amount on Christmas Day 2018:
$212.5 million. In other words, CIG raised just in crowdfunding about as much as I expect CCP recorded in sales in 2019. Add in subscriptions and income from incentives, sponsors, licensing and partnerships, and I expect CIG brought in between $55 million and $60 million in 2019. Not bad for a game that is still in alpha.
