Only 12% of the game completed in 2215 days.

Sounds like one of those patreon games milking it's fan-base with $20,000 a month for a few years with small updates just to say look were working on it at least.

Also just for reference sake the game has made/cost $181 million so far.

Currently, as I'm writing this Star Citizen has raised $181,058,276 and has just passed over the 2 million registered user mark. This massive achievement in crowd-funding means that on average each player that is donating, has donated around $90 each for the title to be completed.

Taken from march so it's probably more now.

Crowdfunded principle is to sell an unfinished product.

As to the level of completion, they are building up the tools to generate content so it could fill fast.

The content will be mostly planets and stuff.

They should have still some money, right? I did not hear about Chris Robert selling his blood in some ship based bottle.
