Forget the prequels. They were just building a solid technical foundation to really ramp up production to allow tech to enable true community participation in defining handcrafted openly-developed and procedurally generated, never attempted before, genre defining, AAAAA^A^A acted - scripted on the finest, purest shimmering samite, a true wonderous realisation of what every game should be, exemplified in the perfection of the Vision.
A wild tweet appeared in Derek's feed that is worth sharing

They should make a videogame out of that.
If someone who would fake it, would take care about details. Also wouldn't mind create fake identity.
I would say that refund is real (CIG PR denying it is like meh, really,media, you gonna believe them NOW?) and of course knights of CIG order were summoned and vola guy is removed from online without his side of story to prove.
It is fun however though that whatever CIG tries, it won't stop refund deluge.

Nobody here "hates" SC. I don't even hate persons, much less something that might, one day, if enough cash will be thrown at it, something resembling a game.
Your assertion that many here "hate" SC implies that those are emotionally unstable, illogical, and therefore, can be ignored. You do ignore, however, that those same people not only give reasons and arguments, but the lion's share of those are/were backers. There is a certain amount of disillusion, certainly, but whose fault is that? Magic Robert's, maybe? The man who spouts about toilets, mixing drinks, flight attendant uniforms and playing DJ in space, even while there is so little of the game actually FINISHED?
Dunno. As I said, I do not hate anything. I would LOVE to see SC come out and be as good as some claim it'll be. I just do not believe (due to the total, utter lack of evidence) that this will be done with CR at the helm.

There are people who post to this thread that claim to have received a refund. I have no proof that they're telling the truth. For all I know, no-one has ever received a refund, and the funding timeline called "Stretch Goals" on the RSI website is 100% accurate.
If so, and CIG has been handed $159M, then I have very strong circumstantial evidence that they are running very low on funding. And I have direct personal evidence that they are consistently under-delivering on their goals to deliver a game. Putting all emotion and tribalism to one side, I can see that CIG is very unlikely to deliver a game that I want to play. And that means that I wouldn't want a substantial preorder on that putative game, and if I had pledged a large amount then I would be requesting a refund.
This is a terrible shame. The game as pitched (however many years ago it was) sounded ambitious but achievable, exciting and immersive, and I would have loved to play that game.
Edti: updated the current funding total. It's $6M higher than when I last looked a few months back.

Agree. I only used the term "grind" in a wider definition, so yes, it becomes a grind when it's boring and when the player wishes to do something else but feels compelled to continue against their feelings because they "have to". And the need might be that he/she just have to have that rank or credits or whatever. So in the end, it's something the player chooses to do or continue and create the "grind" feeling. Go and do something else for a while.

SC/SQ42 could never happen, they won't make a good movie... But this mess would make an absolute stellar documentary. I'm pretty sure the new CIG entity is for securing a documentary.
"Aiming For The Stars, Ending Stuck In The Stool: The making of Star Citizen. Coming in a theater near you in two weeks, sort of™".

I really hope some one IS making a documentary with behind the scenes footage. I think C Roberts would be a very eccentric, quirky character and his mishandling of the whole project would make great viewing lol.
Ricky Gervais has bought the rights.
Hold that thought. Some guy has come onto a certain Discord channel and claimed he is $45k guy.
What do you guys make of it...?
Edit: He has a LOT of work to prove who he says he is!
*Don't want to name and shame...!
It's easy, post what CS answered combined with the credit card extraction, just the date and a mount of deposit would be enough.
I can easily prove that, an email from cig CS would be ok?
