Not sure if this has been already posted, but it blew my socks off.
Someone wrote a doctorate on fixing SC's flight model (LOL - just that tells you enough about it):

So your defense to SC being three years overdue and still a pre-alpha tech demo in their sixth year of development is "they are not accountable" after the rubes spent $140 million on pre-orders. Do you think saying that helps ?, or do you think it makes CIG and it's supporters sound even more sleazy.
CIG are a publicly funded company selling things they have not yet made, they are accountable. But hey, good confirmation that you do not care what happens with your money, I on the other hand do care what happens to mine.
Disney may be legally accountable for their finances, but somehow I doubt it's ever been a concern to the public. Also, just so you understand, the public own 2% of Disney whereas CIG would not even exist without the public.
Why do you guys always go for the passive aggresive insults? Overcompensating maybe?

I was just obsessed with Vader quotes this am. Thanks for your explanation..:honestly it always helps to have as wide of opinion library as possible.
appreciate it.
As for that Thargoids clip, I'm so glad Elite is going to have really alien aliens, not classic rubber forehead humans with a strange accent (yeah, that's a dig at space Chinese and space barbarians and space whatever Banu are).
Lots of $$$ we're mo capped on x thousand page 14 hours worth of script. Shelving it and the cost down the toilet at imaginarium/actors wages would be grossly incompetent.
I prefer sq 42 before SC given that's what I pledged for in 2012.
But that's just me.

THE LIST Snipped for brevity.
Have +10 Rep of the V kind. Best list I've seen about SC since the last one.
Studio funded vs backer funded...sorry not a great comparison at all....like at all.
Earnings reports on public companies can shift investor confidence...the 60k of loss on the books probably never even made a dent on their overall revenues so ... investors of public company happy and buy or hold shares.
No idea why you would make that comparison as they serve no relation to one another.
There are both ethical and financially liable reasons many companies don't over promise (before they know what they can deliver)...because if they under deliver they are liable,especially if money was exchanged based on those public statements.

Sunleader yesterday said that Elite : Dangerous amounted to no more than " a giant box of nothing that looked kind of pretty" to paraphrase.
Then THIS happened earlier today in Elite....
Sorry, what was that you were saying Sunleader?
Are you still there Sunleader?

Pah - that is nothing more than the light of swamp gas self-igniting and reflecting off a weather balloon. Star Citizen has real aliens - ones that no human could ever even imagine - with completely alien physiology and an anatomy we cannot even comprehend.
He's already been in that thread decrying it. Next week we'll get a reveal of more SC alien stuff though so that's good?

It seems as though you don't understand what accountability actually MEANS... certainly, CIG, being 100% funded and created by public money, should be held accountable for everything that has gone on these last 6 years or so, for the precise production of.... now very much at all.... Which is rather shocking for a "game" that is now being funded to the tune of $140 million dollars, parking it firmly into the top 5 most expensive videogames EVER made...
Hell, SC is now entering the realms of budgetary spend usually reserved for a Hollywood blockbuster... and yet, unlike your poor attempt to equate the delay that befell Lucasfilm in Star Wars Episode 1, CIG have failed to meet every single deadline that they set themselves to complete some aspect of SC. Meanwhile, Lucas and Co managed to pump out Episode 1 on budget and, more importantly, ON TIME.
And during the production of said movie, I never saw Lucasfilms coming out and making promises and bold boasts about what they THINK the film will be like and just how awesome it would be, then repeatedly stall for time as the release date of the film slips and slips.
Actually, here's an idea... Let me provide you with a list of films that would make for a more accurate comparison with Star Citizen than your ham fisted attempt to shoe horn Chris Roberts together with George Lucas.... Ishtar,The Adventures Of Baron Munchhausen, The Adventures Of Pluto Nash, The Adventures Of Rocky & Bulwinkle, Cutthroat Island (a rarity in this list, the film was actually good, but came out before the Depp-inspired revival of swashbuckling pirate movies. It also completely sunk the studio that produced it.), Catwoman, Heaven's Gate..... I could go on but I'll leave it at that.
What do all those movies have in common with SC? Lots of money (studio provided, not from the public) was poured into them. Many of the films had numerous problems during production. Many had behind-the-scenes issues plaguing them. Many of them were also delayed well past their initial release date... And ALL of them ended up being massive box office FAILURES.

Hmm, not sure I can do anything here since there is virtually nothing to golf clap to. *Shrugs*

Sunleader has asked for something "kind of pretty" from ED, Cat has shown something "kind of pretty" from ED, what's your problem?

His "problem"? The glaring fact that there is something "kind of pretty" actually IN ED right now, (which has honestly been the case for many, many months in the game), whilst the only thing currently "kind of pretty" in SC are some of the art assets. That's it. No aliens, no deep and meaningful gameplay (and no, not that "emergent gameplay that he had to weave into his tale yesterday because the PTU is still, after 18 months of "release", completely bare bones in terms of actual gameplay content and mechanics).
To be honest I don't disagree with many criticisms leveled at ED, but there's nothing in CIG output to date that makes me believe SC is going to be any better.
