"Raise over $1Bn from various sources". Does this mean the actual funding is over $1 billion?

Oooh, good catch!

We have the funding tracker which gives the amount in pledges but doesn't record other things like merchandizing and subscriptions (at least as far as we know), not to mention investments.

Could it really be that it is over 1 billion in total now? That's both hilarious and sad.

Well he admitted it and had access to the financial data so it should be true. That's big news.

$775,607,532 total pledged (6 Jan 2025) + $224,392,468 (from investments, partnerships, merchandise, online game monetization) = $1 billion raised

Their top management including Chris Roberts are delusional.

He helped get as much money from uninformed space sim gamers as possible with macro-transactions for concept ships. Many of these ships are still not in-game. Jones lead the predatory business model to sell dreams and deception to backers. They released fancy scripted trailers to deceive gamers to buy their super buggy, unstable, alpha phase software.

"over 1100 highly skilled and experienced staff in 5 studios across the world". If they are so skilled why has CIG not released 1 finished game yet after 12 years? They hired a lot of inexperienced staff as well.
Almost all the experienced staff fled long ago, and it has been a revolving door of rookies for at least 7 years now.
 
This meme by crazybelter (11 July 2019) is still true in 2025.
