Wow! Until now that has gone over my head. Time to snap back to reality!

I am so glad I never put money into this. Something about it always smelled too good to be true. I usually like to wait and see if a game is any good after release!

Best business model ever! Millions and millions of money for hopes, dreams and broken promises.
Bit early to make conclusions like that unless you have an anti-horse in the race. People like to jump on the hate bandwagon. The massively thing has mostly outright incorrect statements anyone can recognize if you’re not a troll and the SC mmo business model doesn’t really like, exist yet, so it’s kind of an odd starting point.
As for the $25,000 guy, you aren’t entitled any any money you send to a crowdfunding project back, anyone who gets anything back should be thankful. A basic thought exercise of what happens to everyone else’s money if halfway through development if people are allowed to yank funding would lead you to the same conclusion, you’d be undermining a project budgeted for X amount after already sending your donation. The most i’ve ever spent on a crowfunding has been battlescape at $250 by a factor of 5, i never expect to see that money again even if inovae suddenly has to reduce scope or their schedule slips. If you’re dumb enough to drop 25k on a project and need that money later frankly you need a massive life lesson, and fast. SC is only giving refunds on pledges because their continued income is more than high enough to compensate and it’s supposed to be good will, but people jump down their throats for not giving them enough when they don’t need to be in the first place.

lol. Yep. It really amazes me that people are still in deep profound denial about the state of SC. I remember being assailed by the usual SC fanatics back in 2014 when I had the audacity to suggest SC wouldn’t even be close to Alpha in 2016, and here we are in 2017 - not only far from Alpha but looking like there won’t even be an Alpha. Just goes to show, some people get caught up in a dreams and are more than happy to toss reality into the back seat. A fool and their money are soon parted.

Actually, there are many legal precedence set, as can be found in the Star Citizen Refund reddit. The Kickstarter money may or may not be legally refundable, but the donations post-KS are certainly subject to refund, although actual values may vary based on local laws.
That being said, I watched the video you linked from YouTube, and I’m not sure what point you were trying to make with it. While it is true that RSI/CIG’s statement is yet to be revealed, much of what was said appears very black and white, and I have a hard time believing much of it would be fabricated. RSI/CIG actually said in their current statement that they “Have not used CryEngine in a very long time,” but since that would go against the GLA terms (and without having any proof TO DATE of the GLA being invalidated), that seems particularly strange of a counter-statement to make.
It will be interesting to watch it all unfold, or watch as much as we can (as a couple videos have stated, Amazon is in the game now, and Amazon hates publicity). I would be extremely surprised to find out the GLA does not apply, although the Copyright portion of the suit is likely to be up in the air and will probably take a long time to come down, if it ever does.

The problem with Star Citizen is the hype has turned to hate. Hype doesn’t last forever, it comes and goes, but SC seems to be trying to keep people in a permanent state of “this is gonna be awesomez!!!” This of course leads to frustration when things in production get derailed/delayed (as they inevitably will in a project this size).
They also keep selling stuff to earn more money, and it’s gone on long enough that people are realising the ridiculous amounts of money they have spent. More hate.

Honestly, CIG brought it all up on themselves.
They have always been pretty arrogant from the start, acting like they would save PC gaming. And only they could make the best posible space game in gaming history.
But to plain out break a contract and wiggle out of their commitments by skipping to Lumberyard is beyond arrogant and not to mention incredibly dishonest.
I don’t understand how they could possibly hope to get away with it. Unless maybe they gambled that Crytek would go bankrupt before they could sue.

Not to rain on your parade, but SC is in alpha. It’s written on their website

He’s actually given some pretty reasonable suggestions for a change. I’m almost impressed

They may call it alpha but it feels like a very bad tech-demo IMO.
The game is so riddled with bugs that you usually can’t even complete a single mission and I think if 3.0 doesn’t manage to improve the framerate in the next couple of months even the most hardcore SC fans will start to realize that CIG just isn’t up to the task. The fans still excuse all this with the game still beeing in developement, but having simple things like entering a ship break randomly between minor patches is just weird.

Speaking of missions, what does 3.0 actually let you do now? Can you earn credits and spend them on things?
You can in theory complete missions for money and spend the money in the shops for gear yes.
They call it Alpha under the guise of progress. Even the most armature developer wouldn’t put out such a bug riddled product and ‘honestly’ call it Alpha. IMO.
There have been released games ( Not Alpha, not Beta, released. ) where the bugs played me.
