Still no single player version this year. Glad I never gave them my cash.
neither do people's thoughts trying to justify the non-delivery

I am not going to rehash this, we have already a few times. The dates given were only expected and goals, that is it. Simple as that. Nothing after that and peoples personal thoughts doesn't really mean anything right down to the fact that the dates were always subject to change.
You're missing the point though. I can't disagree with the many massive posts you have posted P please take that as a friendly dig) what you are saying is correct. The game was going to take years, there was going to be delays, and like you say may not even happen. But I think you are only seeing it from a hardcore fans perspective. There are a great deal more people who just check in every now and again or read the emails and that's as far as they look into it. They don't understand the process like yourself. It might well be their fault for not understanding the way it works, but you can't say that CIG don't play on that. They should have stopped long time ago giving dates knowing the process they were going to take and how delays etc are happening but they don't.
So for that reason, while what you are saying is correct, people still do have some argument as to the frustrations with missing dates etc in my opinion!
I think what lost my interest was being inundated by news posts, emails, and stacks of videos about everything - Several hour-long videos every week on different areas of development, 10 for the Chairman, Wingman's Hanger, then 10 for the coder, 10 for the texture designer, 10 for the community manager, 10 for The Lamp, 10 for the tea boy, 10 for the wife of the guy who delivers the mail to the home of the ex-wife of the guy who teaches at teh school of the son of the guy who works at the insurance company that covers the vet who did the check-up of the dog of the child of the guy who did some concept drawings of the manoeuvring thrusters on the back of the jetpack that was never used in the end, Subscriber Updates, Around The Verse, MVP Most Valuable Post, spectrum dispatch, this, that, the other, plus all the short lived (and frankly cheap and nasty) merchandising, ship brochures, ship commercial videos and so much more.....The frustration isn't helped by the 2 weekly 3.0 carrot they dangled infront of us for 3 months or more
What, ALL the videos and fluff and guff... or just the bits they say is paid for by subscribers? Certainly when I was one, only one or maybe two vids were advertised as such.ttaskmaster all that was and is paid for by subscribers. The clothing etc costs pennies, I know as my wife owns a T-shirt company.

I know the low quality junk they flog in the shop costs pennies, regardless of what they charge for it, as I was again a mug and bought some of it... I've had thicker toilet paper!
But I'm sure the lovely custom jackets and etched metal plaques and things cost a few quid...
Nah, TBH I'm sure most of it isn't as bad as it seems... but when you get so many channels of them cheering about all the wonderful things they've been doing for teh past three months..... like... err.... umm.... hang on, I know this one..... err.... oh, I know, a poster for your hanger... and.... umm.... oh, a new ship that looks the same as the old one, but in a different colour.... for an extra $120 on top of what the other one cost....
In other words - So much shouting about how awesome they are, with so little to actually show for it in any capacity and only their repeated word that they will deliver... one day... eventually... probably.... if they don't change stuff first.... yeah.
See, it's when you see all ^this that you start to wonder in the back of your mind if they're actually doing anything game-wise.... and I'm sure they are, what with two massive tech demo playthroughs now, neither of which seem any closer to actual release.... it's this stuff that makes Star Citizen *look* like it's a turning out to be a complete con, and it's how it *looks* to people in general that's what's got so much doubt and naysaying flying around.
Snip.
Don't need to justify it myself. I can literally see via ATV development and similar where delays have occurred and why. As well as generally long term why as they have updated the tech and even explained it numerous times. Being dense and ignoring that is not my problem.
If you want to choose to ignore the facts go ahead.
Orange and dark Grey?
being dense and ignoring they're YEARS overdue w/ what they promised the KSers is not my problem. if you want to choose to ignore that fact go ahead. and that's my last comment on the matter cos you're obviously as blinkered on your view as you're accusing others of being.

Agreed, I were mid way through typing something quite similar. Not quite worded as strong though mind
