    RSI's website is very clear that you are not pre-ordering, you are not "buying" anything, you are merely donating to a possible future product. There is no guarantee of a product at all.

    If you donate X amount, you can get access to whatever they have now, and some specific items. Once you receive the items, and use them in the game, they are considered delivered.

    If the game never releases, nobody gets their money back. That way, RSI has little to no legal exposure.
    Aren't there taxes on that 'donation'?  Pretty sure that means it's not a donation in legal terms.
    Yes, funds from Kickstarter are considered taxable income. However, RSI is an LLC and they could request tax exemptions for donations.
    They can't request tax exemption for their pledge store stuff because it's not a donation.

    If you look through RSI website they never even try to call it a donation.

    So if the reason of Star Citizen delays is Chris Roberts and Scope Creep how do you guys explain those same delays in many other games like Ashes of Creation, Pantheon, Camelot Unchained, Cyberpunk, Beyond Good & Evil 2, New World etc? :D
    Show us the quantity of quotes for those games that we have for SC.  Especially ones promising release of features (or the game) the same year or next.  We can wait ...
    Just grab any early Developer indepth interview or trailer about any game and you'll find discrepancies with reality. Have you forgot about Cyberpunk or NMS launch state and feature set vs what was teased/talked about? Have you seen the pitch videos and plans of most kickstarted mmos?

    Btw , there's gaming articles with many dev's explaining just that some posts above. Highly recomended.

    Change is a general occurrence in game dev world.

    The only abnormal thing in that collection of quotes is the seemingly creepy level of obssession that one individual developed for a game he doesn't like lol

    Reminds me those Hollywood serial killers  movies where when they show the psycho's room the walls are covered in quotes and articles about whatever celebrity he became obssessed about.

    Then again, he's a known hardent elite: dangerous fanboy... Their inferiority complex about Star Citizen can run quite deep.  :D
    You really shouldn't accuse other folks of creepy obsession.  Reflects poorly, just to let you know.

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    There's nothing creepy about posting about a video game you play and enjoy while making fun of it's haters. Specially when said haters have bet their lives on it's collapse year after year and instead the game keeps getting better and better and making millions in the process.
    Rinse & Repeat ;)

    So…..

    How about we add blockchain and sell planets ;)

    “The sky is the limit” seems to be obsolete.

    p.s. 

    I made it to the outskirts of Fort McPherson about 350km/220 miles shy of Tuktoyaktuk before I was forced to turn around because of Covid restrictions.

    Did I mention that I had a nice shot of scotch with a 100 year old frost bitten toe in the glass ;)
