"We shall never see the like of this again," came John's conclusive statement. Then he hiccuped but it sounded a bit like he was saying 'never' again quite dramatically. Shortly afterwards, we saw the likes of it again and now Star Citizen has raised more crowdfunded cash than any other game (almost $6 million) and it's not quite over yet.

Just to clarify that headline - even with $6 million in the bank, Star Citizen doesn't really have all of the money. It doesn't even have all of the money it needs but Roberts and chums are confident that they can now secure the remaining investment from other sources.
