With all these kickstand shenanigans goin on I have no fear backing any one project simply because eventually just like any investment I'm eventually goin to get what I asked for or possibly compensated knowing I'm risking this money as it's a donation or pledge to my interest in a project or idea. T this is just how I see it. I'm not mad at Comcept as a backer.I'll get my game.no I'm not happy it was told of something and it didn't happen but for whatever reason it just doesn't bother me much right now.

That's exactly what kickstarters are supposed to be. Too often do people act as if they're pre-orders. Games are complex beasts, and developers very often misjudge the scope of a project. So it's not surprising to me in the slightest that some of them fail, it's not that unusual.

Mighty #9 demo is free now for backers that spent more than $20.

I ain't paranoid. I love games so these are worthy investments. That said, I tend to back smaller unknowns with obscure projects instead of big ones.

Dumb article. Any article that says Star Citizen is a game fail is written by a moron.

The game is massive in scope and it is progressing nicely. The length of time to make the game, is predicated on how many new stretch goals they added as backer list grew and grew and grew.

It's now massively bigger then the original kickstarter goal, thus it will take a lot longer time. This is called common sense.

Even if you read what he says you have to think... does he even think it really belongs on this list... or did he just want to throw them in to make his list a nice sounding 5 game list.

Here's a tip to the author, don't pad your lists with crap that doesn't belong. The article would read a lot better if you had it with 4 games.

You can't title something... 5 of the Best Red things... and then one of them be blueberries. It just doesn't make sense.

That's what having Star Citizen in this article basically does. It so blatantly doesn't belong.

Well I guess they couldn't have done so within the last two decades working on the game so probably it'll take another two decades

Personal Hangars sound brilliant for what is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious games in the galaxy.
