Having an entry make its way into the Guinness Book of World Records is definitely something that is worth working towards, especially if it is in a particularly positive light. Having said that, Star Citizen, an upcoming crowdfunded game, has managed to make its way over to the Guinness Book of World Records after it saw its funding pass the $55 million mark, making it the largest crowdfunded project to date – and not just because of a game, according to Cloud Imperium Games boss Chris Roberts.
Roberts mentioned, “Only a few days ago, I wrote the $54 million letter which is truly incredible. I think everyone should take a moment to appreciate the enormity of what you as a community have achieved. Two years ago, the idea that a group of people who love space sims, PC gaming and the promise of a huge new universe to adventure around in could unite to raise $55 million to fund a game was unthinkable. Every one of you, from single Aurora pilots to those building their own fleets, has been part of something unprecedented. Today, we’re in the Guinness Book of World Records, and not as the largest crowdfunded game of all time, but as the largest crowdfunded anything of all time!”
Were you part of this particular project? And if you have answered in the affirmative, are you thoroughly looking forward to it? Not only that, if there is not going to be a single cent flowing in from now on, Star Citizen will still be able to be delivered above what was originally planned back in October a couple of years ago.
