It's probably better not to say anything really other than give them compliments.
Not all solutions are acceptable by everyone.
Then why not dispense with the pretense of "discussing" Star Citizen and just call it "Star Citizen (echo chamber of the disenchanted and trolls)" or better yet "Star Citizen: SA Annex", because that's exactly what this thread is. What's the point of having a thread to discuss a game when all that is posted is trolling remarks and disenchanted exasperation. Seems better to just go over to SA
I don't see why you should be so down about this thread during CR's moment of triumph. Clearly things are full speed ahead and soon you'll have 3.0 this year and Squadron 42 will be released because open development surely would disclose whether or not it would come out as planned in 2016 and they wouldn't keep that disappointment waiting in the wings till the last minute because of "The Pledge" to treat all the backers as if we were publishers.
Then we notice CR's history with publishers, schedules, and how he treated anybody that put money into his projects. Oops. Still, everything works almost flawlessly on stage and there are three ship sales, so the next phase is just giving him what he wants so he can keep paying to have devs in crunch mode to create demos for shows.
Year six, that'll show all the naysayers! He's finally going to sweep into E3 with the next demo and be hailed a returning hero and given a key to the city and pronounced King of Hollywood by Mark Hamill in a ceremony attended only by the most loyal "Citizens" who pledged at least for "concierge" status. This of course will be a perfect time to announce more ship sales. Just at that moment when Wil Wheaton is tweeting asking to read the audiobook to his memoir, "Space Race: How My Vision Was Envisioned By Me, Chris Roberts"
I have a chart somewhere that proves games should be in development for at least eight years before the foundation of their networking is firmly established.
Anyway, the power of Wing Commander healed Ben Lesnick once. There's still time for the magic power of Chris Roberts to cure what ails us all! Personally, I'm hoping to lose lower back pain upon the release of Star Citizen.

So at the end of the day, 3.0 is scheduled to bring those core game mechanics that we've been clamoring for years... Trading, Piracy, etc.
That is way more important than being able to land on planets, but ok. Trading implies a market system with production and demand, piracy implies a criminal penalty system, and so forth. Those are quite substantial and potentially complex parts. December is just 4 months away. This doesn't sound realistic, but we shall see.

Because there is no pretence; because it's an actual discussion; because it's not the SC echo chamber that the r/sc and the RSI forums offer. This is apparently very scary for some parties in the discussion — in particular those who hare so eager to label as “troll” anything that does not conform to their prerequisite level of praise for the game.
What you're describing is why going to any of the official forums is so utterly pointless: because no actual discussion is allowed there, regardless of pretence.

Yes. Often famously so.

Nah man, you can't hold small publishers like Ubisoft or EA to the same standards as CIG, anything produced by CIG has to be absolutely perfect in every single aspect even while in development. 500+ employees, $120 million and 5 if not 6 years in and they have bugs while in development? Unacceptable.

Agreed, i would even say it's impossible to please everyone.

In-engine parts were In-engine and In-game parts were In-game parts to the very definition of these terms, i don't see a problem here.
I don't see any of it in-game either.
Yeah, neither Sony nor Ubisoft would ever show anything that wasn't an accurate representation of the final product.

I don't think anyone is saying it should be scam.
That would be tantamount to to encouraging scams!
Which is probably illegal - or at the very least not terribly nice!
Of course traditionally we do have to acknowledge at this point that maybe, we just don't understand scams..
Is there any difference here though? I mean I've posted some fairly reasonable explanations but because I'm not critical of the game and/or the company, I get labeled as a cultist. Tell me, how is that different than the RSI forums or /r/starcitizen subreddit?
Additionally, all I see is a bunch of illogical statements about how "fake" the presentation was or trollishly over-exaggerated comments. I'm all for criticism but at least have some unbiased evidence to support them!

What are you referring to specifically?
Do you have any prove that it was fake?
No - which makes us even wouldn't you say?
No, not at all, as you made the claim that it was fake i would say that the burden of proof lies on you...
