Star Citizen is an unreleased video game that has promised fans the moon. Developer Roberts Space Industries (RSI) has advertised the game as the ultimate space adventure, the kind of simulation you can play for years to come. That sales pitch as gotten fans so excited that more than 2 million of them have pledged more than $186 million to help make the game a reality.

The game is entirely crowd-funded and the money that players put into it often translates into in-game objects. RSI is funding the game in part by pre-selling ships and equipment to players. A cheap ground transport can run as low as $20 while the expensive space-faring vessels cost upwards of $500. Thanks to a new offer from RSI, the truly dedicated can drop $27,000 to pre-purchase almost every ship and piece of equipment in the game.
