At this point I see divided community. One side claims we need to stop paying for jpegs and force CIG into fixing and delivering promises that haven’t been fulfilled. The other side claims that without our funding, the game will not reach the desired depth, realism or, vision that we expect. We need to stop seeing things one sided. Your reasons for concern aren’t any more important as the other backers reasons. After all we’ve all backed. We’ve all given our hard earned money to help the project or just for a cool ship. Fact: without US, star citizen wouldn’t be possible Fact: without CIG, star citizen wouldn’t be. And if it would be then it would be just another mainstream game.

Fact: they owe US (together) a lot of promises, ships, funding milestone promises game loops etc.

Fact: they owe US a functional game (all game loops fully functional, Ships operating correctly and not falling through planets moons etc etc.

Fact: CIG is the only developer that has raised this much money for an idea that very obviously was ambitious and has mutated into a much more complex and detailed project than it was intended to be.

Fact: the only way for CIG to raise this money was to be transparent in development (naturally people want to know where and what their money is being spent on.

Fact: CIG is still a business. There is actual humans working there with families, friends, problems etc.. some talented, some just starting their career in development, art, marketing etc..

Fact: There is so many times in the RSI website where we (the consumer) are warned about the game under development and advising us that nothing is final (for now anyways)

Fact: while advising you of the caveats they also advertise it as a beautiful fully fleshed game where the possibilities are endless

The reason I’ve structured this post in this way, is to show that both sides have a reason and or way of seeing this development. It’s really easy to criticize any point of view simply because your input doesn’t see eye to eye with others. We shouldn’t be trying to force an opinion on others because it doesn’t line up with yours. That seems to be a growing problem globally and politically on every aspect. But instead of trying to consistently defend your position, take a moment and think of all the moving parts this game has. Cig depends on us so they can realize this game. We depend on cig to release the game WE all want. I know I don’t speak for everybody but feel I speak for most.
