*Star Citizen*, the spiritual successor to *Wing Commander*, continues to inhale gobs of cash from the crowd, recently [breaking the $47 million dollar mark](http://gamepolitics.com/2014/06/24/cloud-imperium-raises-over-47-million-star-citizen-date?ref=killscreen.com#.U6rW-o1dVSZ), which is nuts. Passing this milestone gives players the added feature of engine tuning, allowing them to tinker around under the hood of their ship. If (when) this reaches $49 million, the devs will add a rare species of space plant, which blooms one night every 100 years. It sounds like they are running thin on stretch goals.

For the record, this puts the budget for a game about spaceships shooting other spaceships far above the gross national product of the tiny British Polynesian island nation of Tuvalu, which generates only around $36 million in goods and services in a year. But *Star Citizen* is still a good ways off from Kiribati at $167 million, the next highest on the list. That we are talking realistically about an astronomically budgeted *Star Commander* successor is a true sign that the videogame universe itself is expanding.
