Is it allowed to sell SCP games and if so do you need permission from the SCP-Foundation website creators or the authors that made the SCPs being featured in your game?

Nope, you can't. Due to copyright, every SCP is the property of the author, and unless you have explicit permission by every author (not only of SCPs but of tales, characters, and anything that has been published in the foundation) in order to sell the game.

I also think they each get a share? But I'm not sure about this last one.

It's not so much copyright, but while you can sell a game based on SCP, the original creators or the some of the community itself won't be too happy on it.

For what I've heard on the Foundation page, you can't. Since each SCP is the property of the author.

Huh, I see. Makes sense I guess.

Wasn't there also people who got mad that Regalis was getting donations because of the game?

Hmm...are you getting deja vu from this conversation?

Well damn, history repeats itself.

Another question:What's planned for future updates to SCP:CB?

You'd have to ask Regalis himself, but I doubt that he's say anything about future updates.
