Controversial PC space game Star Citizen has shot through the $350m raised mark.
The game’s official website reveals Star Citizen has now raised a whopping $351,026,475 from over three million customers. Star Citizen hit $300m in June last year.

Over eight years after its initial crowdfunding effort began, Star Citizen is still without a release date, although parts of the game have been released in early access form. Squadron 42, the single-player portion of the game, is still in development but does not have a release date.
Star Citizen and chief developer Chris Roberts have come under fire for years now for failing to release the game, or provide a target release date. Developer Cloud Imperium Games makes money by selling starter packs, subscriptions and virtual space ships – some of which cannot currently be piloted in-game. CIG insists money pledged goes directly to the game’s development.
