So is it your claim that incompetence would let them off the hook?
"Misleading garbage post." Are you describing Fdev's promisses? Or the audacity to remind them of their unkept promises. I'm worried that you mean the latter.
You seem to not understand the Original Post. There is no mention of incompetence. The OP is a claim of "fake news" which means deliberate misinformation. Knowingly distributing false statements. That is what this thread is about, made clear by the title.

If the OP wanted to discuss something else that is their failure to not discus it in the Original Post.

The OP doesn't mention incompetente, that was your defense. Are you now retracting your defense?
Will you bother to bring up another?

Ha ha ha ha! :ROFLMAO: Now that is awsome irony. Desiring to go back and change what was said. You made my day, cheers! 😀
What? I just wanted my post to not get deleted and also to listen to the critics what people said about it(only for the title), what I say in the post is what I really think and what I won't change
 
I was there in 2013 and if I could travel back in time I'd tell myself not to invest the amount I put on that Kickstarter campaing...
 
Yes. They promised you
  • mods, creating your own scenarios and missions
  • space legs with diverse and interesting interiors for ships and stations
  • cloud cities and mining outpost
You got none of that but don't feel swindled, proving my point.
In my case, those promises were irrelevant. I bought the game because of what it was at launch, not because of anything they promised for the future. If a man promises me a sandwich for money and gives me the sandwich, and says he'll give me a drink in the future but doesn't, I'm not going to feel swindled if all I cared about was the sandwich. The drink is just a bonus.

Like I said, it's easier to swindle a man than to convince him he has been swindled.
Thanks for proving my point.
Of course nobody is going to file a lawsuit and ask for his money back.
An investor however, who has far more skin the in the game . . .

How does that prove your point? It refutes it. From Merriam-Webster itself:

swindle: to obtain money or property by fraud or deceit

I was not deceived. I knew exactly what I was getting for my money (the game in question), which is what I got. I was not defrauded, because there was no perversion of truth to make me buy the game. I got exactly what I wanted. More, in fact, because they've added to the game after I was satisfied with it. By definition, I was not swindled, and no amount of wordsmithing or insistence on your part can override the accepted definition of the word.
