Most games don't promise a bunch of features before they know if it will work in the engine.
What makes Star Citizen cool and interesting is that it isn't like most games.

You've never read about E3 game demos followed by the backpedaling at launch?
Since you think this is unique, I shall endeavor to edumacate you:

(That just covers visuals, but if you haven't been living in a cave you've read many many stories of pre-release studio hype that didn't make it into the released game. Case in point: Peter Molyneux)

No problem and I promise I won't whine about it if the game sucks because I knew there was a risk from day one. Honestly about 85% of the games I buy or try out I play less tan 1 hour.
between messing around in the PU and what I've put into Arena Commander, I'm easily over 100 hours. Even if I never touch it again, I already got my money's worth.
Same. Hell the education I've received from following this quasi-open development project (both the good things and the bad things) has been worth the $70 I've spent. When I get to see John Rhys Davies and Gary Oldman in a video game....that will just be icing on the cake.
So JSt0rm.....what do I "deserve"?

Yea. It's been interesting.
I should say, I wasn't an early pledge. I never had the free cash to take the risk, so I sat back and waited for things to get better. I jumped in shortly after Alpha 2.0 was published, and at that point I decided I could spare the $45 to get on board. Considering what I spent on controllers, my 'sentrybot619' control setup, and 2 accounts that each have an Avenger, I'm in for about $500 now.
Honestly, completely disregarding the PU, if they just polished up Arena Commander and added a bunch of more maps, I'd be beyond happy. AC alone is a blast. Ever since I got dual sticks and really started getting into it and being competitive, the action I've seen in AC has been some of the, if not the, best video gaming I've ever played.
Plus, I guess I'm fortunate in that I've had a lot of experience messing with Cryengine, and I'm a coder, so much of the 'backend' issues that have slowed the project down are interesting to me, and the issues they raise 'make sense' to me as well, so I don't take issue with the time involved.
Any marriage that ended over SC wasn't going to survive without SC being involved you're smart enough to know that J.
Forums removing posts that contribute nothing isn't a scandal. Make a bunch of post how anandtech sucks any you should look at let's say tomshardware. Test out how that goes over on these forums. Forums are owned speech is not free on them.
Anyone who is buying SC now knows the risks.
I keep getting the feeling the majority of SC haters simply want to be right and want to see sorrow to justify being right. I'll say it again I'm all for hearing some negatives but the constant rooting for failure is not productive.
Gary Oldman dropped out.Just wait for that shoe to drop.
Anyways you deserve what you end up getting with this thing. The star citizen community is a toxic mess. But in that toxic mess you have people who spent all of their joint marriage savings on space ship jpegs. People who got divorced over this thing.
Basically cig took advantage of people who arent right in the head. And exploited there dreams about whatever game they saw was coming. Nobody involved in this mess understands a thing about game development. But that like to use that as a insult for people who criticize this thing.
So in the end when you shrug off your $70. OR tekboy shrugs off his $1000 (lmao) remember real lives were ruined because of this thing. Remember how toxic the community was trying to control the message. Using the report function to get mods of all these forums to ban people who said "hey wait a minute. Maybe we shouldn't be giving this guy 150 million. Have you seen his track record?". Having a dissenting opinion about a video game shouldn't bring on death threats and people being banned from forums. Reddit downvotes on any not positive message - you may as well be the north korea of game development.
The reason they did this is because they wanted more people to join them in their folly. So they are complicit in how this thing went.
And I dont know if you have looked at the funding lately but normal people are not buying in. The whales will chase their loses but that will happen until the end.
Why are you so emotionally invested in this thing? Why are you so concerned what complete strangers are doing with their lives and money?
The only person who seems to be exhibiting any kind of cultist obsession in this thread is you. You follow this game and discussions of it religiously. You even research the personal lives of the CIG staff - wth?
It's a VIDEO GAME. Entertainment.
If you want to take on some kind of righteous cause - why don't you pursue something with your time that actually matters?
Gary Oldman dropped out.Just wait for that shoe to drop.
That's a lie. Funding is still coming in, and plenty of people, even people I know, are just now signing up.
Seriously, read what you wrote that I quoted, and ask yourself 'did I really believe what I posted?' cause if you did, you're kinda delusional.
Are there any successful crowd funded games? I am skeptical of them all. A successful business man once told me (regarding people who ask for money) "There is a reason they don't have the money"
