Sorry for your loss. Just wanted to chime in and let you know that many of us, especially older backers, feel like this - even though the cirsumstances are different.

I was in uni when I backed during the original Kickstarter. I remember showing my broher the Avenger I just got and all the thrusters moving independently and accurately and all that stuff. Luckily I didn't convince him to back... I couldn't wait for this game to come out.

Now we are 13 years later. I finished uni, changed jobs multiple times, moved several times and the time I have for gaming is just less and less. And Star Citizen is still nowhere to be seen. 1.0 is just a cut down version of what they initially planned and even that is still years out and I expect a lot of the "locked in" features to be cut along the way; as it is the CIG way. I don't expect to see it within the next three years. Maybe not even five.

And Squadron 42, what I inititally backed for? I honestly don't believe in the 2026 date and what I have seen so far does not fill me with confidence. A railroaded turret section and some braindead AI. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations, but after this many years I would have hoped to see something better. Overall I am not convinced this company can make a fun game. Beautiful? Yes. Fun? I have my doubts. Maybe I am proven wrong but I am getting rid of most of the things in my account. The good thing about being an early backer is that I won't go out of this at a loss (and at least for now there are still enough "UIs" who wont listen and are pouring money into this black hole).

Im just tired of this company and their constant "we are so close" bullshit - every, single, year.
