Just came across this during my lunch break :

Before you freak out though that was from here :

This game has made them over 75mil so far and it hasn't even been released yet :

Unsurprising really with the level of detail they've gone to, plus all the ships interiors, you'd only need to look at one of the ingame screenshots to know it's gonna be a monster sized game.

12 grand for what amounts to pixels seems a bit out there but if people are willing to pay that much then I say let them, I personally know someone who has spent £300 on it and I'm in a corp with a guy who has easily spent 3 grand plus. They get what they want and are happy to pay for it, in return everyone gets a slightly better game and a longer lived PU. It's a win win.
As for the 75 mill, we don't know how much of that will turn out to be a net profit, currently it's just a pool of funds until the game is released.
