Overkill for a not very demanding tech demo.
I can actually remember posts on this forum and the Star Citizen sub-reddit where people were buying PCs around Star Citizen in 2013. I'm sure a few PCs were bought in anticipation of the Hangar module launch.
Let's not get into hyperboles now please. I don`t look at CR as some sort of hero, I just think what he did with DU and IBS was fair. It wasn`t so long ago when him and Sir Braben were tapping each others back while talking big about the revival of space games and how they`ll do whatever they can to help the genre. One stayed true to his words, other... not so much. That other guy didn`t even need kickstarter money but in fact used it to probe the market - completely negating the whole point of it by doing so. Should we talk about that too?
You know certain threshold has been gone over for me. I think derek smart is right.
Star citizen Is a Con
All we are getting out of star citizen is endless amounts of these scripted demos.
And fools will depart with their money.
Theres so many red flags planted all over this whole project that i cant see the project anymore.
I can only see one giant red flag that reads Replace me.

So, in order to avoid to add one more deceptive advertising to the huge pile that Star Citizen already has, could yo let us know how the demo worked on this spec:
https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/5100272/#Comment_5100272
"Windows Vista (64 bit), Windows 7 (64 bit) – Service Pack 1, Windows 8 (64 bit)
DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM
Quad core CPU
8GB Memory"
Because, then, maybe they can start to prove what you claimed that they did.

Drama and dreams. The staples of Star Citizen's momentum.
Reminds me of when people bought 8 series GPU's for Crysis and Crysis chewed them up, spat them out and said "Here's your 15 fps your cheap console peasant. Two 8800 Ultra's? I'm not some common AAA wench. I'm the saviour of PC gaming. I am Chris Rob-- Cevat Yerli".
Like ED did in a livestream showing of several planets they generated?
But they were in game. No scripted content. Why don't you demand progress instead of lapping up whatever demo they toss out?
It would be stupid to deny that SC project is big on dreams. As long as people are understanding it, why not. Drama and toxicity however is something I don't admire.
Er, but that was Roberts' plan too. He needed the Kickstarter to gauge interest then claimed he would have 20 million in investor funding or somesuch, but because it was so fun to collect money from people with no strings attached, he continued doing that for an additional 4 years. Instead of? Who knows, we're not privy to their financial workings and it's perfectly possible CIG took investor funding as well back when it wasn't so much of a cursed boondoggle.
Good luck trying to make a case Frontier somehow abused crowdfunding compared to the obscene spectacle that is $750 jpeg sales 2 years after the game was supposed to be released.

Probably posted pages back in this thread, but damn it looks amazing.
I really hope that atmospheric landings will come to Elite soon, so we get bright blue skies for a change, instead of all that darkness

Dont you see? ED should have done the same selling the anaconda for 500€ and you can only test the ships in alpha/beta when you bought them with real cash. CR does it to this day and it seems its totally legit.

Just two weeks to be released. And what awesome/exciting performance of the devs in the presentation. Real in-engine in-game gameplay real realistic. Fidelitity. Shut up and take my money.
Can't wait.

Is there any way to check which ships are on sale right now?
Free to fly until Monday isn't it?
Or if you have money to burn.

It indeed looks amazing. They must polish it a bit more, the trees had a bit of popping, but i won't deny that i was mind blown when i saw it.

No free-fly as far as I know, but, all ships are available to backers until 17th. I'm just wondering if current funding figures are due to the Polaris sale, or if there is something else.
Why? Isn't Alpha? Didn't you say that they proven that "can be done" now? Why is not in people's machine then? It's alpha after all.. no issue to prove all naysayers wrong showing how it works well on everyone's machine, including the minimum requirements advertised.

The current funding is whatever RSI wants to make appear as the current funding. For all that I know they could be injecting pledges themselves to raise the counter, maybe money from other sources than backers itself. The fact that they flee as cowards of revealing their real info, removing that clause of the TOS for example, is almost a confession that they have been lying about that and about many other things, considering that if all that they say was true, that indeed, would prove the naysayers wrong and end all the debates related to SC. They only would benefit themselves from that, and whatever naysayer would lose their credibility, from disgruntled backers to press... But they refused and even burned themselves changing the TOS to flee. And don't protect the money from the backers, like for example, refusing refunds, since they are in their "right". They jeopardize the project, losing money from people that have no "right" of refunds. Can you imagine that? Heh! Of course, they just do what they can to refuse and when near to call the attention of an authority to open a case or backers going to a court, they give the refunds. It's like a criminal calling the cops because was stolen. Going to a court would lead them to reveal a scandal. They always will make what is possible to flee from that.
I highly doubt of any accuracy of that counter, both in terms of source of the money and quantity of backers. That's why I think that the discussion or the idea that SC is working because "counter states" that they are doing well is worthless, so as the measures that people try to make to see if they are running out of money or not (the only strong evidence is their attitude, it seems that they are always near of running out of money, because they wouldn't risk to get all this bad image for nothing, since its a clear collateral damage of their approach if they were totally safe and secure on money, just to add a little more in the top of what was already a BDSSE anyway... nope... they do that because they are in need, and who knows if its personal needs or game/development needs or investor needs, or all them together).
All the evidences point to lies and deception and backers been fooled by RSI (not the developers, but its leads, I have the impression that most of their developers/employees - coincidence or not to facilitate that, in its majority, newbies - are been fooled too). Another evidence is how many big names found reasons to leave the ultimate project that is awesome and is earning so much money without no sign to ever stopping. Why to leave of such healthy and growing company that would put their names in the history of the game industry? And, you know... No pressure, because, people always give them free money regardless the results anyway... Well... You know. Maybe experienced people are able to notice earlier than newbies, certain things. In general of course. Always there are exceptions.
