In no way did I attack you. My statement would stand by itself if you, the person, was replaced with anyone else at random exhibiting the same mentality.
No Single Player Offline Mode then? [Part 2]

Kickstarters ToS section 4
"When a project is successfully funded, the creator must complete the project and fulfill each reward. Once a creator has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligation to their backers.
Throughout the process, creators owe their backers a high standard of effort, honest communication, and a dedication to bringing the project to life. At the same time, backers must understand that when they back a project, they’re helping to create something new — not ordering something that already exists. There may be changes or delays, and there’s a chance something could happen that prevents the creator from being able to finish the project as promised.
If a creator is unable to complete their project and fulfill rewards, they’ve failed to live up to the basic obligations of this agreement. To right this, they must make every reasonable effort to find another way of bringing the project to the best possible conclusion for backers. A creator in this position has only remedied the situation and met their obligations to backers if:
ETC...ETC...ETC...

Well, I admit I do have a Random Mentality, and I can't blame my Stroke for that.
I do, for instance; as do a lot of other backers.
Here you have some of the reasons why we want an offline mode.
Everything has 2 sides, right? What you describe is only what you see. It looks very different from the other side.
HAHAHAHA!!! Fair enough.. but why did it surprise you on that post?
Yet again you prove yourself to be terrible at reading small print.
"For projects that launched before October 19, 2014, please see our previous Terms of Use."
Edit: also there's nothing within the rewards section about offline mode.

You seem highly focussed on small print - do you design such despicable cop out clauses as they always embody? Have you fallen foul of such clauses? Or are you just a worshipper of nitpicking legalese?
I find it just hilarious that the same people that are accusing Frontier of going back on their word are trying to go back on their pledge just as the beta finishes. It's a pledge people! it's your PROMISE to pay.
For the beta, which you got.
We have to take them seriously though, because they are SO offended at the offline thing that happened.
If someone quotes a swathe of irrelevant text that still doesn't corroborate their point of view I feel I should point it out.
Unless you're attempting a subtle ad hominem my background is inconsequential to the discussion (but no, I don't work in law)
Why not?
We have to take you seriously so turnabout is fair enough.
No not an insidious suggestion at all, I just find your 'compatability' with small print far from the human average compatability. Most people regard it as an anethema but you seem to revel in it.
And FDEV had nothing to do with the timing...?
Ya can catch more fish with worms that battered bread my old dad used to say.
Baiting and catching are two different things, many a slip twixt the cup and the lip - the list is endless and charm is certainly not a commodity I am overburdened with
It's not about what has been said but that people want to be able to express that they are not happy with "their" game being butchered without so much as an apology.
Without alternative, too, except for other games.
Funny fact about this Game.....
"Multiplayer is not planned for the first release. We would love to pursue the option when the time is right, but our primary focus for now is on exploring gameplay concepts and building a fun, deep game. We feel that dealing with networking at this stage would distract from that focus. That being said, don't rule out the possibility of a Limit Theory Online in the future!"
Agree Gazz and I will indeed be looking closley at LT closer to release, it looks fine but with the bitter disappointment and disillusionment of the last few days I will be reserving final judgement.
If you must know, my father was a lawyer and my brother dyslexic. Between the two of them I found a great interest in the finesses of the English language and have gained more than a basic ability to read and digest legalese. From an ethical and moral position I completely agree that FD should have given goodwill gesture refunds (and even stated so in one of my first posts on the matter https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=58789&p=1017153&viewfull=1#post1017153) BUT that also means that they have to look at it from a business viewpoint.
I'm just tired of people trying to weasel their way out of not understanding what Kickstarter was/is before they decided to pledge exorbitant amounts of money to someone through it.
Caveat emptor.
