You show some genuine anger issues in that post, how you took offense from that slightly humorous video or the campaign for Star Citizen is beyond me. CIG isn't fleecing anyone, they're developing a game to a depth never before seen and if you want to contribute you can, or just buy a copy if you're happy with the reviews when it's all done, or lastly completely ignore it. SC will be another sci-fi game you can enjoy, that is not a bad thing.
Is Elite Dangerous worst than Arena Commander? Is normal a company to call console fans "primitive"?

Maybe they are just totally focusing on cash grabbing now, because already figured out that when the time to show things come, people will be displeased because they simply have no capacity to deliver all their promises (I think that probably nobody in the industry would, mainly using that engine, guess what a new team), and they know that hardly people will be so forgiving with them forever... so, making money while they can and appealing to say what those who are giving money to them, want to hear... as their only hope of temporary profit, knowing that the party will end, but maybe in the hope that could make those few, "evangelized" enough to eternally be willing to pay them thousands of dollars for more promises, instead actual results. "A game of buying more promises, not really to play".
Kind of revealing through their actions, that inside the doors, they lost the hope already of a good scenario to come, because the agressivity, in that level, makes no sense, useless, closing doors.
In fact, they wouldn't need to go to this low-level, with so much side effects, to convince those people to give more money. How many people get offended now, while having all the patience to wait for the BDSSE, to hear that the company is already calling the current game the BDSSE, and ridicularizing the own legacy that lead many of them to pledge (Wing Commander).
Those people in charge of their marketing are indeed, amateurs and I have no idea why CR never hired more skilled professionals and keep putting in those lines, more amateurs (like the fan who was hired and is who is narrating that animation)... They seem totally lost in what a serious and good marketing strategy is. It's ok to hate publishers, but treating what they deal in so amateurish way... won't end well.
It's the in-fiction name to their current game module released (supposedly to become the "simulator" mode when the future universe be completed)... an Arena mode with a few multiplayer (single/coop) modes, tiny maps, far from having all the ships promised to be released playable and with 4 x 4 battles only. Pretty bugged and just achieved Alpha status after about an year of pre-alpha status, as they claimed, but, important to remember, that they took 6 months of delay to release that module, stating that would be "to pass in the level of quality of Roberts", like the excuse that they are giving now to delay the FPS module, just to release 6 months later a pretty bugged, unplayable in that moment (seriously unstable yet with any new patch released), and with the excuse quickly changed from "level of quality of CR" that kept going through those months, to "oh... pre-alpha" in the week of its release and beyond.
Analysis of their leaderboars reveal that less than 3% of their backers ever played the game and in general a couple of hundreds or just a couple of thousands play it in the multiplayer modes, in other words, it's just they who consider that 'the best space sim ever", not even his community (how possibly 99% would refuse to play the best damn space sim ever after bought access to that?)
THAT module, in the current status is the best damn space sim ever according with CIG, suplanting Wing Commander (that according with them would be the one) and obviously, in consequence, any other space sim ever made, alive or not.
The reason stated is because that AC is "bigger" (I had no words when I listened this), and because it's for PC, since they claimed at the beginning of the animation, that console fans are kind of a primitive race.
And all that is not a fan-made video. It's a official video shared by Cloud Imperium with the entire world. A company stating that console fans are "primitive" human beings.

They're never going to release on consoles.
Anyway. Useless thread is useless, this isn't going anywhere pretty let's just shut it down now.
Fixed that for you
Hilarious. You should get a medal. A really big, heavy, golden medal.
Then you should wear it while swimming.
Sad but possibly true. Judging from the way early access titles have been lately, the promise:release ratio is so out of proportion the release will make ED, MWO, and UT3's "incompleteness"(at release) look like nothing. That or it will be in dev hell forever.
Also, I think history is repeating itself.
