How so?
Going by Ant's way of counting, SC has received just under 15 posts per day for its development time. That seems like a very low threshold for ringing the “concerned” bell.

Wookies.
But why?
Well, to be fair we're concerned by the unrelease of a game in a not really different genre
Hmm, niche backwater sub-forum, versus...
Top post of the game’s subreddit:
Can we quit it with the Cyberpunk 2077 stuff, or at least a megathread to contain it?
Don’t get me wrong, I totally get why backers are loving every t-pose. (But the succour that’s being drawn by some is still funny)

So we're just dumpoff point for used Reddit outrage?
Which is why I said "in a completely different genre". As silly as it is, gamers feeling threatened by a game similar to their lovechild is nothing new.
Who'd have thought Elite Dangerous didn't even need to be concerned about SC releasing in the same decade

"Star Citizen is going to cost about 12 million dollars, I like to know how much Frontier are putting up or do they think 2 million quid will cover it.?"
"the biggest difference as it is right now is that Star citizen actually has content availerble for kickstarters to view, have some basic game functioning... Elite does not, nothing but vague details and a publishing date... so far there is nothing to support for elite, there is for star citizen.
yes i would so love to see a follow up on frontier and first encounter, elite was a great game for it's time but i much prefere the later games, newtonian physics and many of the design choices that made them great such as news papers and personal contacts...
i for one would love to see a lot more personal interactions for elite 4, interactions to my crew and people i can meet outside, like in bars and shops.
local wars that can be influenced, dynamic factions and local news papers
but i am on a wait and see what details is going to be forthcomming, 1.5 years to get something out is... questionable and more so with frontier's recent track record and finances"
"Star Citizen looks awesome - the guy has put a lot of effort into it and shown us something that I believe has potential, but it isn't Elite. I will be bluntly honest here - the more time that elapses with no evidence; the more people start to doubt; it's beginning to make me feel uneasy about my "investment" in Elite
angerous.""SC finishes in 11 days you won't have a chance to back it in Jan 2013. I just don't know if I want to back it or not. I'm worried I'll get stuck with some crap like STEAM. I just want th file, CD key and that's it!"
"I backed SC and Limit Theory too. For SC I've got two ships waiting for me.
Yes 2014 will be a busy time, but like the rest of you, Elite is where I will spend most of my time "
That guy is one I would trust - he picks all the best things to Kickstart"I backed SC and Limit Theory too. For SC I've got two ships waiting for me.
Limit Theory cancelled, six years after Kickstarter
Promising sandbox space game Limit Theory has now been cancelled. Its lead developer says he's simply exhausted, mentally and financially, after years of work.

Imagine if SC was on Steam. The comments would be a deluge of people describing how rapidly they demanded a refund, interspersed with Joe Blobers sockpuppets.
Hahaha irridescent shaders are a noteworthy "new technology". Holy hell they're desperate.

Whenever I browse old threads I invariably click on the user to see if they're still about. Am I alone in this?
As I’ve said before... when a Kickstarter fails, its my experience that it takes its toll on the creative type behind it, to quote that article, “emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially.That guy is one I would trust - he picks all the best things to Kickstart

Last year I received a surprise package, because I hadn’t remembered buying anything recently. Inside was the “dead tree” copy of a webcomic I’d enjoyed six years ago, and supported on Kickstarter, but had written it off as lost, because the author had trusted the wrong printing company. Inside was a note from her, “I’m sorry it took so long to get this into your hands. Though I know this can’t make up for how late it is, I included some bonus material all the same. Thank you for supporting my comic.”
I actually felt guilty receiving it, especially since it was a every nice print.
I can’t help but contrast that with the picture of Chris Roberts laughing it up on the back of a yacht...
You got your comic, the artist maintained their integrity.
Genuine Roberts waves hands at the helm of a yacht commanding his fleet of zero games.
