I don't like freeloaders,people that think they have earned some money coming their way.
I am not going to babysit people,they have to think for themselves even though MOST cannot do it.
Before SC was even a pipe dream i had stated that trying to make a space type game in this era will never work,we are not ready to make a solid space game yet.
Without repeating myself over and over,it simply takes way too much work/effort to pull off a AAA space game,WAY harder than a single world Fantasy game,like about 3-5x harder.
So if we were to agree that a AAA mmorpg takes about 6-7 years,how long would a AAA space game take,yep TOO LONG.We need faster tech/modules templates to help speed up development,otherwise all we will ever get is single A/Indie type space games,i have yet to see a AA space game,that is how far away we are.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Err, not that it's ever happened to me or anything....

People always overestimate things that they eagerly want to do. The crowdfunding business, and to large extend early access games business, takes advantage of this by selling us a future that we overestimate instead of the present that we'd be able to judge more accurately.
Puts things into perspective!

Sunk costs mean the investment you have already made. In Star Citizen's case it's the game and the ships you have bought.
Sunk costs fallacy means you'd make a failure in reasoning because you are invested in Star Citizen. It does not mean your Star Citizen ships would cease to exists if you use bad logic.
I have had fun with many unfinished games as SC is one (what has been quite the trend in the industry for quite the years already), and I think everyone buys games for entertainment so if the unfinished game is capable to provide me with that, then for me there is no "sunken cost", I haven't lost any money.
I think I have felt I lost money more times when I bought finished games than unfinished ones O_o
Was not really, it's just as part of what SC is stuff is interactable and has to make sense, hence a toilet to be interacted with will have animation/etc, if I am correct there is some simple stuff that requires you to say take a shower or you'll look dirty over time, eat, etc... It's superficial stuff.
The whole reason I bought into SC was taken out of the game.
They still don't have their core engine sorted at this point. Many of the game mechanics that they are selling the game on, do not exist all these years later.
People are waiting on the information in regards to the, for example:
>ship they purchased 5 years ago not being in game
>or game mechanics such as spindles, ship modules, hiring NPCs as crew memebers, etc
>data running
>gas harvesting
>repairing your own ship
>loading cargo instead of using magic
>they haven't finished even 1 of the 100 systems they sold the game to having
Instead we are showed production videos of water in drinking glass physics, space toilets, and webcasts discussing possible colors of fire.
>Ironman 3 released when Star Citizen went into development.
>They had to end refunds (if it's so good then why?).
Some people believe this will never release. Some believe that it will release as a Minimum Viable Product, others believe that this game tech is being developed in modules so the tech easier to sell off pieces at a time.
>The rate of new backers has slowed down.
>The rate of funding has slowed down.
>A private investor bought part of the company.
All of these examples are legitimate and have gone unanswered for the individual backer. At some point, people are going to say, "wait a minute".
You can't hold that against people. It's not their fault.
The solution is to tell CIG to do something about it. But, as we all know, the "fans" attack anyone not blindly praising CIG. Which is another turn-off to some of us.
Slowing down? Past years the first half of the year went as low as under a million for a month, this year only 1 month is under 2 million with 1.7million and multiple over 3million a month in funding. It likely is one of the best if not the best first half year in funding for the company.
This is such typical hater hypebole, the community very much calls CIG out when they feel stuff is wrong, and usually force reactions from their side, this has happened many times. A community you are not apart of because you isolated yourself into a corner with your type of narrative that is obviously not accepted neither there, neither or any MMO community I have participated, the word for it is just hater, your post history shows it. Just in it for the confrontation.

The moment I realized that was when they did a video on the making of presentations during a convention. Chris wanted to do two big things but his team all agreed it required too much man power and there was too little time left. Chris wanted to try it for one more day but his team were like, no way, not enough help. So he relented but it wasn't easy to get him to do it.
