So what's the deal with this game? It all seems so insane...

So I don't follow this game regularly, and am not generally a fan of sci-fi games. However the thread titles always catch my attention and then I scroll through the threads and from what I can tell the game is a mess, possibly fraudulent and has a cult like mentality around it. I mean, are people really buying JPEG's of ships? From a distance I see a designed who had a HUGE budget and promised a lot and is continuing to fall behind and not release what was promised, on top of cancelling a lot of things.
I would love a sort of FAQ or Primer type thing to get people up to date on what the deal with this is because its honestly really intriguing and looks to be the oddest MMORPG activity since original Darkfall, but this seems WAY worse.
When was it supposed to be released?
How much has been dumped?
What exactly are people spending so much money on already with no game?
WHY does it have such a huge following? Especially with so much going wrong?
When is the projected release now?
Etc. Etc.

is it the graphics? the repetativenesses? i mean what is the point? you could be so much more productive in real life
Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.

1. Release some game that does not match the original KS/Crowdfunding.
2. The money has all been wasted and the daily dollars aren't coming in to keep company running and the whole thing goes boom!
I found this video very telling on the mind set of the people working over there, kind of sad really.

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
I'd probably add SC to the list, the conversation is usually just as convoluted, angry, based mostly on opinion and very short on facts.
Oh yes, people will endlessly link videos for you to watch, rather than just write something to explain their viewpoints..

This was in the original Kickstarter (19th Nov 2012) and (almost) every backer since then until 14th Feb 2016 got both (some exceptions like the AMD graphic card free promo).
Even after release, the difference between getting one or both is 15 bucks now. You could wait for release, take a look at reviews and "Lets Play"ers and decide then if you are still interested.
Have fun
What type of game with the developers make if they...actually look like developers!!!
Some people just love to hate, makes them feel happy about themselves I guess!
They need more money to produce a game
So they sell p2w ships

Lottery tickets give you a three day fantasy of being a millionaire; Star Citizen gives you the fantasy of the perfect space game. But for years on end!
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

'Please continue to kiss my arse instead'
Just look on these forums and I am sure the same guys who are the 'toxic dinks' he is talking about are doing the same thing here. It is boring, annoying and just hate filled garbage. I too could do without every conversation about this game being derailed by the f'ing troll posts you see on these forums.
One missed deadline after another. He clearly said in the past that raising the funds will not delay the game in any way.
Look where we are now.
And now he is basically like: 'Well what did you expect? Of course there would be a delay with more money no matter what I said in the past.'
If you take this much money and give people this much bullshit then you have to expect some retaliation.
The trouble with a lot of these complaints is that they originate due to CIG's flip flop behaviour, people buy something thinking they're getting A only to find out they're getting B instead. You can argue that it's development and things change but is it right to sell individual items, specced out with brochures and all that crap and then whinge when people complain about you not sticking to what you've advertised.
(in 10 years after they get another 200 mil)
You can add Star Citizen to that list.
If you have 300 people giving constructive detailed feedback and suggestions in the official SC forums (pointing out bugs, errors and possible areas of improvement etc.) and 3 people giving only steaming piles of flaming shit (and 50% of the thread consists of flame posts from them), then i fully support getting rid of those immature trolls by banning. And if they want their money back, i say give it to them and good riddance.
Have fun
