In October 2012, the developers of the game started a crowdfunding campaign on their own website using IgnitionDeck, a crowdfunding plugin for
WordPress.
[66][67] Just over a week into the campaign, they also started raising funds via a supplemental
Kickstarter campaign.
[68] Funding quickly surpassed initial target goals and subsequently additional stretch goals have been added to the funding campaign, most promising more or expanded content at release.
[69][70] The initial end date of the funding campaign on the RSI website was later extended by 10 days to match the Kickstarter end date and enable additional funding.
[71] On November 17, 2012, two days before campaign closure, the game achieved the record for highest crowdfunded game project with over
US$4.2 million.
[72] At initial pledge campaign end, the total pledge amount was above all goals initially set by Cloud Imperium Games and reached US$6.2 million.
