I don't know if this counts, since the Kickstarted campaign ended last year, but they're still crowdfunding to help pay the bills.
Cloud Imperium Games is working on Star Citizen, that promises to be the best space sim ever created. Think Wing Commander: Privateer for the modern era. You know it's going to be good because of who's working on it. The whole thing goes a step beyond crowdfunding, though, because once they met their goals on Kickstarter, they opened up forums to talk to the fans, and ultimately it's the people who are going to be playing the game who are directing what happens in it. They recently made enough money to add a whole new aspect to the game, and it seems like every week they make more money and add something else that they didn't think would happen. When the game is complete, you'll be able to go from a first-person shooter firefight on an alien world, hop in your space ship, fly to an uncharted sector of space, engage some space pirates, salvage the remains of their ship (And cargo), and sell it on a huge economy that might even rival that of EVE.
Guys, seriously, if you've been waiting for a space sim, this is it.
