The recent Forbes article on Star Citizen caused a wide range of reactions among gaming press and gamers. It also gained a reasonable amount of attention from some outside the gaming industry. Here, I talk a little about some of that.

-----------
Funding Breakdown

This is my take on the $300 million that Forbes discuss. It is for the total *known* funding for Star Citizen.

In terms of outside investment, in addition to the 46 million Calder investment, there was 32 million in investments, loans and other income between 2012 and 2017. Keep in mind that the RSI website doesn't show that, it only shows pledges:

1) CIG financials show 207 Million up to the end of 2017. This figure includes pledges, investments, loans and any other income. (Google doc shows ~175 Million in pledges by the end of 2017, this means CIG gained 32 million in investments. loans and other income between 2012 and 2017). Main thing is that we now have 207 Million between 2012 and 2017. This info comes directly from CIG.

2) Next up: Funds between 2018 and 2019. Google Doc starts at 175 Million in January of 2018 and ends on 224 Million in April 2019. That means 49 Million in pledges between 2018-2019.

3) Finally, 46 Million from the Calder investment.

207 Million
49 Million
46 Million

= 302 Million.

This appears to be correct to me, however let me know if there are any errors.
