I dont Apologize for Mistakes of Others.
The thing is I would actually Offer to Admit that I am wrong about them being Trustworthy if they Fail to Deliver Alpha 3.0 within 2016.
But I would only do that in exchange for you Admitting your Wrong about ED being Trustworthy if they Fail to Deliver.
Just that Unfortunately ED is not making any Promises they could Break to begin with.
Coming Soon is unfortunately not an Promise and cannot be Broken.
So what can you offer in exchange on this Bet ?
1.
Yes you Are.
2.
I would Wait even Longer if in Exchange I get a Proper Game I can Play.
Because this is the one thing to be mentioned here as well.
ED did Deliver their MVP by 2014. But lets be Honest. There was seriously very very little to do in ED back then.
Mining was a Joke. Bounty Hunting was Fun for maybe 2 Hours. Missions are Bugged as Hell even up to this Day. So everyone only Spacetrucked Wares from A to B
So if in exchange for Waiting till 2020. I would get a Game that Includes the Progression Tree up to Capital Ships. With lets say 50 Systems that have some Life to them. (Stations and Places that have a basic Life Feeling to them)
An Proper Crime Punishment System that Prevents Senseless Griefing so the Game can be Played without constantly worrying about PvP.
And Finally. An System of Missions and other stuff you can do in that Universe to Progress and have Fun.
I would more than Happily wait until that.
This goes for ED as well by the way.
If ED announced that they would Introduce Destroyer Class and Cruiser Class Ships in Season 4. As well as Reworking the Mission Systems and the Crime Punishment System for Open. Which would be Due for 2020. I would Gladly buy Season 3 in between. And Season 4 the moment they Offer it.
3.
I Paid the Money I paid for it. Not for the Entire Game including Stretch Goals.
I backed it when it still was just the Base Game.
A Persistent Universe with Spaceships in which I could similar to X3 Progress to one Day Fly an Capital Ship.
Including NPC Crew while making Money and Having some Fun Fighting stuff etc.
Thats why I continuesly say that you guys are doing a Double Standard and are Biased like Hell.
Both CR and DBs Visions are not all that Different. Both made Tons of Promises.
The Difference is that DB from the Start First Sold you the Unfinished Game. Never Promising that he will ever Finish the Game to actually Fullfill all the Promises he made.
While CR actually Promised that he will Finish the Game he Promised. And attempted to have it Finished as far as Possible BEFORE releasing it.
Now that the Promises List has Grown ever longer CR now Shifted towards also First Releasing the Game so Far and then Build up on that.
4.
Incorrect.
We got 2016. And Star Citizen has as far as I know never Proclaimed to Release the Game by 2013.
5.
Keyword"
It has been Produced on 1/10 of the Money.
Yes. And it also contained alot less Features on this Production.
Now how much Money has since then gone into Development of the Promises ?
And how much more Money will go into actually Realizing more Features in the Future ?
Paying in Installments or Paying right up. Doesnt change the Cost.
If DB really goes through with all of his Promises. The Cost of ED will ultimately amount to the same as SC.
6.
Nobody is Perfect.
HAVING ONE part where it would have been smarter to do something ED did. Doesnt mean its Bad.
Just so you know. Up to this Day I believe ED would be far Smarter to do several things which SC did.
Like going for Capital Ships.
Or not Splitting the Game into Seasons which means some Players cannot Compete in Open because they for example Lack Engineers.
As well as not going for a Power Creep Approach of Ships having completely ridiculous Price Increase. From Smaller Ship for 400k Credits going to another Ship nearly the same Size being several Million Credits.
Being more Efficient in Management is not the Ultima Ratio Mate.
Its just one Part of many.
Many Mafia Organizations have far Superior Management to Legal Companies. But that alone does not make em Better.
Nope.
See Mate here is the Difference.
I see Bad and Good things on both Sides.
This Includes Critisizing that SC Failed on making sure to Release a Game First before adding more and more stuff.
This however also Includes that ED is creating an Power Creep which Border Pay 2 Win Situations thanks to Adding Features in Payed Upgrades which then Exclude the Original People who Backed and Bought the Game because they either have to Buy it as well or cannot Compete anymore.
Do you really think. That someone who Backed SC and has yet to get his Game.
Feels more Betrayed. Than someone who Backed Elite Dangerous. And now has to Buy Horizons to get the First Fraction of the Features he got Promised at start ?
Can you not see just how Biased you guys are there that you Ignore such Mistakes and Problems for ED. While Picking on every Mistake that SC made relentlessly ?
