This is why the subs are excluded from the game's funding counter. Their point is expanding community content, they hired people that directly work on that, supporting as well the events they do like Gamescon. This is simply, if the community is willing to support that, so it happens, so it did and still does.
These forums never fail to surprise me.
Simple: The sub is not going towards the game. People out of their own choice donate towards community driven content.
This is something that has been in from the start, tbh think it just shows how little people who seem to scream the loudest about the project actually know
Oh well, predict another 10 pages of nothing
MOST of the community stuff is relayed to people for FREE anyhow because they use it as marketing/advertising.
I might tend to give the SC ceo's props for being able to so easily exploit people to sub to a game not a game yet but seems money is flying around everywhere in gaming like it was growing on trees.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
All this hate for something that represents a fraction of the Backers supporting what everyone gets for free (backer or not)... Oh well.
If you think that comment is hate, you are completely clueless.
How is that not one hate comment?
I know right, mind-blowing!
I don't care about the saving jerbs things, it's still a pile of crap no matter what light you hold it under.
If we didn't have these shows very little of importance would be lost. Like so much that comes from CIG, rebranding stuff that everyone else does already and charging you extra to do it....

Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

Your time is money platitude is besides the point I was trying to make.
Without actual investors that demand results or simply a limited budget, I see a lack of pressure for delivering a working game within a planned schedule. As long as the backer sub money flows and ship packages are sold, why bother making a long term schedule at all?
Just throw around some vague pointers at possible future dates. I mean there is no problem if you don't deliver, because new money keeps coming in.
I am very curious how the current yearly revenue is from subs and ship selling. I would like to know how that compares to yearly dev costs atm. Because atm it looks as if backers are just funding the running of a company and not so much an actual game with clear features as endgoal.
5 years development for first results was and is my estimate.
Have fun
And you will find memes, videos and whatnot about it. Even here in this subforum.

BarCitizen parties are great for meeting fellow fans.
You can think whatever you want. I do not care .... it does not change the numbers i mentioned. You may WISH it to be different - try mindbending reality.
Have fun
If at first you dont succeed, call it version 1.0
