Derek, I'm sure you know the difference between try and will be.
I suggest you re-read his post and his comments during the presentation.
It doesn't really matter one iota what the backers of games think, say, or do when it comes to what the developers of games actually do with their product.
CIG can make a big song and dance out of concept X, or game mechanic dream theory Y, but until it's actually sat on your machine and working as intended it means pretty much nothing.

Only the moneys given during Kickstarter or other such are not income until delivered. The other moneys earned for selling items are income.
Not in this thread though. My Spidey sense is tingling. [smile]
Um, unless the thing is made and delivered it isn't sold, it's just preordered.

You do know that posting in the thread is blocked until you have a certain number of posts right?
Well maybe you should then....also I am a backer 2 but I admit that I didn´t tried this latest version of SC/PU....anyway before was ALWAYS capped at 30 fps for the PU.....
Pre orders are still income.
Other video games DLC, future items? Think all the DLC for say "Farm Simulator" purchased in advance before release. Or upcoming Mechs for MechWarrior: Online...

I think it can be more than 30 fps if the server is nearly empty.
Yes I do. Still odd (to me) that it happens.
Me too! I have been on mainline ED forum for months.
I even have an excellent x52Pro/VA profile aligned with EDDI that if interested to try, PM me.

Still not sure what you are getting at.
I'm a fairly regular poster here, and I also play Star Citizen.
Couldn't post here till just a few days ago.
Seems rather simple and straight forward. I couldn't, now I can, so I do.
See my post above.
No they aren't, they're liabilities until the preordered item is delivered. Edit: To correct myself, pre-orders are deferred revenue.

Not nearly but ONLY if is it empty...as soon if is other players around is capped at maximum 30 fps........
I'm just saying. They disappear in pairs as well. [haha]
No, they're revenue. There will be an expense associated with the pre-order. Income is the revenue minus that expense.
By making up new ships and selling them, they are trading revenue for engineering debt. This is NOT income.

That 3.0 occurrence in August (i.e. CR´s suggesting 3.0 may come before end of 2016) last year encapsulates one of the (many) critiques that imho are fair to field against CIG, namely the one that CR unmet/broken lofty promises or "estimates" have been a standard re occurrence since day 1 (5-6 years ago). And as such it can be considered as not being "accidental" but part of a consistent and fully conscious approach to predatory marketing and funding.
Now with the help of hindsight, and almost 10 months since CR issued that 3.0 release estimate, and still waiting, one can not but imagine that CR HAD to be aware 3.0 was completely impossible before end of 2016 (nervermind SQ42).
If this kind of broken "estimates" had happened only once or twice, and CIG had publicly apologized, I would be inclined to agree with you that it should not be a big deal.
But by now, given 150 millions, with a seriously alarming number of instances where this has repeatedly happened and where CIG´s bottom line has profited directly, I don´t think there is much room for trying to apologize for it with a straight face to be honest.
We are talking consistent re-incidence, multiple times.
It is actually quite simple, either CIG does not give a biowaste, explicitly condones this course of action and has decided to allow it so to maximize pledges on imminency hype, or their work processes and lessons learned systems are so incompetent and broken that they can not detect and control this kind of issues after many, several, multiple and publicly detected occurrences (not even counting here those occurrences that have not been detected). 150 million.
Neither of those scenarios suggests a serious management team on top of their business to whom I should pledge any more money.

I just thought it was funny that the same standards you claim for yourself dont count for others
But seeing as sarcasm isnt your strong side lets just leave this behind us
I wouldnt want my reply to be counted as "violent" toward pro-SC people ^^Thats individuals claiming to have fun while showing a mediocre or horridly bugged tech-demo. None of these videos out there at the moment confirm any solid performance rates or show gameplay elements other then running and shooting. I can certainly see lots of adult men getting very very excited about nothing and I believe immediatly that these people do have fun. Again its just not "fun" as the rest of the world would understand.
In the end at least there are videos out there showcasing us stuff. Just none that would show the fun that I would expect from the descriptions given. In fact, the current youtube and twitch videos are the very BASE of the fun and mockery that exist about Star Citizen. And while verbal defense is quick to rise there is hardly any video release that would support that defense in any given way.
I m sorry....are you actually WindWpn because you answered a request aimed at HIM. The links you provide have zero relevance to the described scenario given by him. Just thought I point that out.
