@finlaydag33k When you say 27x over budget, you seem to not understand the concept of crowd funding...

@finlaydag33k Just think the through steps! Crowd funding is when you state a plan and a cost that you expect will be required to complete it. Then people pledge. You have no control over how much they pledge, so you have no control over how much you get funded. When Star Citizen started they got more than 10x the amount they requested for the original plan. What should Chris Roberts have done? Completed the original promise and run off with the rest? That would really be a Scam!

@finlaydag33k Reiterating how much more money he got does nothing except increase your indignation. Why keep doing it? The fact is that he got so much more from the original Kickstarter that the original plan was no longer viable. I have suggested that they should set aside 14 devs (out of currently 850) for two years to make a "mini-SC" according to the original plan, just to shut up the whiners, but no one thought it was a good idea. Next to what we already have, it would be worthless.

@finlaydag33k I have explained twice and I am not getting through to you, so I will try a different tack: What are you looking for? What do you want to happen? What do you want CIG to do?

@finlaydag33k "So many people": Kickstarters: 34k people. Current paying backers: 1.4 million. "shutdown and stop scamming": You don't want to let those 1.4 million have fun just because you aren't having fun? Really? That is what you want? You know what that makes you?

@finlaydag33k Wow! You really are that person then! When I call you out on it, your response is to call the 1.4M backers "morons". You are a shame on humanity! I have no more empathy for you.

@finlaydag33k You have no regard for anyone else but yourself and your own needs, regardless of how many others suffer. I have no more time for you. Your voice can call alone into the void.

@finlaydag33k I will give you this last one because you sound sincere, but unless you show that you understand what you are saying, that is it. You want CIG to shutdown? There are 1.4M happy backers, yet you want to deprive them all of their evening pleasure? Why the hell would you ever want that? That is monstrous! Your wish is for me and the other 1.4M players to not get to play a game we love anymore, just to satisfy something really twisted inside you? And you call us "morons"?

@finlaydag33k OK, so now you are just insulting me by saying that I love playing a tech demo? Yes, you are asking for the shutdown of a game that 1.4M people love. They have a 30-day money back guarantee even! You think a scam works that way? You have no ability to see that others can enjoy something that you don't. And you response is: Give me what I want! If I can't have what I want, then shut it down so no one else can have what they want.

@finlaydag33k OK. Now we are done. I gave you a second chance.
