Well... as I suspected. All the quotes that you shared, none of them were accusations that the entire demo was pre-rendered or cut-scenes, that was exactly what you tried to generalize in you recent comment.
They are all people suspecting that the demo had parts of it manipulated.
Hell. You should know what happemed with all the RSI previous demos and how people criticized them, and how bad that was to their image as good develoers to the average person interested in the game. Its pretty obvious that they would adopt a more careful approach when demoing whatever.
They even "added" to the presentantion moments to prove that weren't on rails, that the staff members made unexpected things, but that in fact, were visibly trained to be in that way, exactly to try to make people believe that the whole thing was legit. "Oh look... shouldnt happen in this way" (yeah Roberta, we were born yesterday). I doubt that they would be capable to make those accidents in any moment of the demo.
Roberts had a terrible job pretending. He definitely is a bad actor (but for some reason i loved his appearance to rescue Freddie Prinze in the WC Movie).
The thing is... it does not matter. A legit demo (which never is the case for any company and wouldnt be gor RSI too) still does not mean that it will work in people's machine, or that the features in such demo, demonstrates that RSI can deliver the game as promised in any acceptable and realistic time fram, considering needs and realities of the gaming market.
Even if they release this demo tomorrow and work smoothly in people'a machine, it will work because is empty map, because not too many are playing, because have not too many mechanics associated, still, certainly would have tons of bugs and nothing, absolutely nothing in this demo indicates that RSI can deliver working capital ships and fleets to be fully managed by players, delivering fleet vs fleet battles online, on high fidelity, and giving meaning to all this party of orgs and expensive capital ships sold by thousands of real dollars.
There is nothing, on sight, in possibly the next two years, that they are goimg to be able to deliver what they promised.
Everyone is just changing the narrative to "oh, but they released something".
That is pathetic for backers that gave them 20 times money that they needed directly from customers to deliver the BDSSE with all the features that I mentioned and are yet to be proven feasible to be done with their tech. Two years of delay and counting.
