This is true - I also think it's worth mentioning that old adage;
"On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog"
Unless we're prepared to link to publicly verifiable sources of proof it's all just hot air anyway.

Oh but I am being consistent, as allways, the "boasting" about "thousands of gamers supporting and thousands more joining in day by day" is a fact. CIG doesn't actually need those (they don't even care about doing a tutorial to welcome new players they just open their servers to free-fly weeks). They know they are in alpha stage and that the faithful backers / subscribers can take them the long way, the rest is just bonus. The fact that there's an ongoing flux of new people joining daily is just a testimony of how fun and how much people want this kind of experience provided only by Star Citizen. Simple actually.
Let me contest, I don't see you as a backer, you might have pledge money but you are not "backing" the game. Grey Market is meaningless, LTI is also meaningless. All the ships are for sale 3/4 times every year. It's dead Jim. No point.

Why did Chris explain that they do still keep ongoing funding going because they need it?
Was he wrong?
You better let him know pronto if so otherwise he might make a bit of a of himself!
ETA - do you remember the time Sandi said they wanted to take the pressure off the backers - then she caught herself and back pedalled?

Er, no. "thousands more joining in day by day" isn't a fact. Or at least nobody has provided any evidence supporting it.
Well the bolded part is a lie, CIG actually did a tutorial, but then they broke it. After the backers asked CIG for months to fix it, CIG realized they could not fix it and then just disabled it.
You also have zero proof of how many people are joining. Or that they are actually joining.

Yup. I was watching a video earlier where he was asked why they were still selling ships etc, and amongst other things he stated that they were using the money to keep the servers going. I'll see if I can find a link.

Good thing he didn't need your permission or approval, then. He gave Roberts money = he backed the game. If you want to dispute that, tell CIG to send him a refund. While you're at it, tell them to approve my refund as I feel immensely stupid for believing there would ever be any VR support. Ah those heady days of 2013!
You don't need to pass a loyalty or purity test to be a backer, Orlando. Just give the Crobber his silver! If they get y and give it back, sure. But if he spends their money, they backed his "game."

if i heard chris roberts correctly he said that star citizen needs 2 or 3 years for mvp release at minimum . So 2018-2023 release since its minimum
26:24 is really interesting to hear. Its question about finances.
chris said that being more open on financial details would be nightmare for him. Because backers wouldnt understand how money is being spend.
He also said that features dont have budgets anymore. So all those stretch goals he doesnt know how much building those will cost, Doesnt this mean that he doesnt know if he can complete the game as promised?
This is really problematic statement for example when they start working on farming they will work on it as long as it takes regardless of how much money or time it takes to build it.
I might do a transcript the answer later on because once again im not believing what im hearing, its just that crazy.
Aye. Fair dues to the guy. He's put his money down and is voicing his concerns and not blindly humming the chant of the church of the latter day space sim.
Now if ONLY he could air his thoughts on the official site without deletion.
It's really encouraging that features don't have budgets anymore. This incredible, outside-the-box project management thinking is just the sort of innovative paradigm-shifting idiocy you can expect from the legendary auteur behind Wing Commander: The Movie. Not even Garriott at his most self-indulgent would dispense with budgets!
Surely the evil publishers will only double down now on their campaign of vicious slander against fetish video production company RSI and their liberated new form of budget-free thinking before it spreads and poisons the entire field! Why, if this idea spreads it could herald in a new golden age of endless tech demos without release dates! Mushmouthed men in slimming black will wave their hands at your face in public, cats and dogs living together, Star Marine still weeks away FOREVER!
I can't wait to see where this revolution goes next.

Extraordinary as that might seem for us mortals (and it does to me) I think we may be failing to take into account that Chris operates on a higher plane - he doesn't need filthy petty budgets - he just taps into the force.
It's real - all of it!

That brings up a fun point. So SC has all these talented actors, well ignoring Sandi who could not act to save her life (yes i have BA in theater), yet they are forced to read a CR script. Its going to turn out horrible, just watch the Bishop speech, and that was something CR thought of as good. CR can't even rip off a well done speech with out screwing it up.
oh and I am also a backer of SC.

Found a link to Chris Roberts answering the question "Why are ship and concept sales still necessary for the project?" where he states that they are needed to keep the alpha game running (at 10:30)
