    >> Please identify on here where any reference is made to "running servers for the next 10 years or so". >>

    We ARE talking about why they continue to raise funds. After stretch goal additions have stopped about a year ago. So providing a link to the stretch goals is relevant ... why ?

    You asked for reasons. I gave you a reason. To keep servers and customer support running once the initial development period is over.

    I am not sure about you, but i prefer my game servers to be powered by something else than hamsters and tears of haters. 


    Have fun

    wow, just wow.  Bye, you have wasted too much of my time.

    I don't understand why people take these extreme sides of the discussion. No official statement has been released on the state of finances.

    The game is clearly still being worked on.

    They may be in financial trouble, or they may be completely fine. We simply don't know. As impatient as people may get, I feel we will have to wait and see.

    But one difference between me and you is my views are not clouded by what someone tells me through a video.

    I agree. People have jumped the gun. The accusations may be true or false. My gut (which is meaningless) tells me they are true and there has been a colossal mismanagement of funds, but until the allegations are proved it is meaningless. 

    Why is this important? It erodes confidence in the developers. It should not aid their demise (if that is the way of things) because apparently the production is covered by the concluded KS campaign.  If their projections were correct and $90m covered development, well then a great game will release. If not they have many questions to answer.

    I wonder which video has traumatized you so much that you keep mentioning it in every post....

    And which makes you assume everyone else has seen the same videos you have seen.

    I haven't seen any videos and i do not need too as i have said in my previous posts i haven't backed the game i don't even like sci fi but i know that is how he speaks to the people must of been mentioned in another thread, just so obvious that your posts are so bias, must come from believing everything a guy tells you in his videos.

    That is because the person here in question has more credibility than a certain "moron" smart who not once, not twice but 3 times committed hostile take over of game companies, firing founders of the company, taking their money, their game asset and then releasing their game as his own. Now he talks about transparency in business, such nerve!!!

    Anyone know if there has been any video or audio? If this is "the norm" is it unrealistic to believe that someone has recorded something? I've heard a handful of audio of career ruining audio from politicians in the last year, but why nothing from this?

    A hostile takeover occurs against a boards approval. Let us take SC as an example, If a publisher were needed and he refused to step aside, would a hostile takeover be "bad" in that situation? No it would serve to remove egos and make a serviceable product profitable. If that takeover were to occur, would Chris survive? Of course not, he has been an impediment through most of development, he would be farmed off straight away.

    Maybe, just maybe..because all the "credible sources" escapist mentioned in their article are the same people derek "moron" smart is endorsing?

    Yes it will be BAD, no one , absolutely no one has the rights to assets and resources of RSI,CIG and SC. Not Derek "moron" Smart, not government and no, not even the crowdfunding backers. other than RSI and CIG. Let someone take away your life's work and come back to talk about this nonsense that you and your ilk are rampaging on.

    Deleted the unnecessary above. 

    In answer to your question. It depends on the scenario. If I were to create something new and unique and then mismanage it to the point it was no longer commercially viable under my control; then I would accept it. If not.., well either way it would hurt. 

    I am unclear why you are attacking me on this observation?

    Funny how people are saying all these concerns are some other guys idea when people who had donated where voicing these concerns before he started shouting louder.

    But over look the fact they have a lot more money than they said it would cost to make the game than before and it's already a year late.

The countless threads and comment wars that were fought. All the typos that were born to illegitimate mothers. It is certain that only one MMO can rule the Seven Internets, but which side to fight for. Are you an honorable fan? A traitorous bandwagoneer? Or a simple peasant just trying to find a place to call home?

    Sorry...

    This is what happens when you watch a bunch of GoT episodes and try to entertain yourself on this otherwise redundant discussion.
    Why would an impartial observer choose to get involved in such a thread? Surely not hypocrisy or a masturbatory need to elevate themselves above others? That would be crazy.

    And? It took EAWare Austin 7 years and 250 million $*(excluding marketing cost) to make SWTOR. SC is a project way beyond the scope of SWTOR. A year late? They should make it 2 years because people backed them to get an epic game not a mediocre one.

    Not attacking you, showing you the perspective, and since when SC became commercially nonviable? Can anyone show us statistics or proof on that? Other than the "anonymous reliable sources" who were fired for incompetence? or left because they lack the passion and skill to complete their task?
