CIG haven't "delivered" anything.
I disagree! They have delivered many years of amusement.
I still get a chuckle when i remember such classics as "we set unrealistic deadlines to motivate staff".

Not flyable and I think concierge only.
Well, in every commercial enterprise I’m familiar with, I buy goods or services outright. I receive said goods or services after completing the transaction, and if they’re unable to fulfill what I want, no money changes hand. If funds need to be raised to start the business, it’s via the traditional avenues: such as business loans or sales of shares of stock. Profits are either reinvested in the company, distributed via dividendsNot sure what the difference is. I always assumed they are companies like any other only funded with grey market equity.
Physicalised gravity. Take note, industry!Nice! The new ship as a magical blue cylinder that sucks you up into the ship!

I receive that good or service at a discount at a later date.

This describes the nature of the capital or funding of the entity. It doesnt have so much influence on the company. More on the individual behaviour of its agents I guess. The company shpuld still work as a commercial entity - it is set up legally this way.Well, in every commercial enterprise I’m familiar with, I buy goods or services outright.

In the case of crowd funding, this isn’t the case. I loan you the money necessary to start production of the good or service you wish to offer, but rather than receiving interest from that loan, I receive that good or service at a discount at a later date. Probably not the most profitable of financial investments, but when the choice is this or not getting something I want at all (or getting it at a much higher price) then crowdfunding is an option. Until I get what you promised, I expect you to be a good steward of the money I loaned you.
This includes not living a lavish lifestyle with the money I loaned you, selling “your” shares the company to enrich yourself, and siphoning away that money via complex Hollywood Accounting Schemes. And if you underestimated your expenses, or the time and effort required, I still expect you to make a good faith effort to deliver what you promised in a timely manner. Only after you’ve delivered what you promised me, are you free to pocket anything that remains… if anything remains, that is.
the funny thing is this is what you see in the front page of Star Citizen kickstarter:A: Because you'd just been indulging in some context-shorn ED whataboutery, and you have form for the same. (IE ED's community is angered at the moment regarding the lack of ship interiors in the current DLC, and it would be precisely like you to think that was a meaningful point which normalised CIG.)
and
B: Because even if talking entirely about CIG, those ship interiors aren't 'delivered' (in the sense that the tech is infamously glitchy, and the product is infamously unlaunched). Both elements widely known, and in the case of the latter, extensively discussed in the last hour...
and
C: Because you've been doing a lot of inane trolling lately![]()
And they alteady failed the 5th onethe funny thing is this is what you see in the front page of Star Citizen kickstarter:
Real quick, Star Citizen is:
after almost 10 years the only thing that is acheived (not so much) is the third.
- A rich universe focused on epic space adventure, trading and dogfighting in first person.
- Single Player – Offline or Online(Drop in / Drop out co-op play)
- Persistent Universe (hosted by US)
- Mod-able multiplayer (hosted by YOU)
- No Subscriptions
- No Pay to Win
It's a good thing I totally gave up on understanding how anyone could have any faith in this project long ago, or I'd be risking an aneurism.So about that other, single player game, that Zyloh played in 2016:

Dude...
Missing the opportunity to point out a ship the will actually suck concierge backers off ...the surface of the planet? I’m disappointed in you.
