Holy sh*t. Good that my wasted SC pledge went into the first 7 days, the first 4,000 contributors and the first 1,000,000 $ of this horrific trainwreck.

As of today it's actually 118,120,790 $.

$118 mil voluntarily coughed up by people who want to play a game someday.... Just goes to show, the real world actually did end on December 21, 2012.

I think CR would have been better off starting a TV mega church, at least the money would be tax free and he could get away with the scam for sure.

Haha, any time someone gets frustrated with EVE/CCP, take a few minutes to read up on the history of SC. It really does put things into perspective and gives you a newfound sense of gratitude.

I discussed it and people were surprised how small it is, I mean his sausg.

Sorry for imagining you with little wee wee."

+1. People have a hard time generating that kind of money for actual real life causes, but a video game does so easily.

Maybe egoism and need for entertainment is somewhat stronger than altruism and need for a help to remote people, not related to you. And that it is prevalent in general population. Also its merketing of a strongly visual medium, you can show progress, you can show people things that they want. All of this versus an empathic feeling of help towards a remote group of people, coupled with a fad of turning a bucket of icy water on someone. I dont know how science could treat something like that. These SC backers fund a project with the prospect of actually getting something in return. With charity there is this issue, that you can feel better for a moment, and then, well, after a while its gone, the money is gone, people you helped are gone. But software you could use for yourself, and have a fun time. It means you pay for entertainment.

Always where someone posts before me, before I press POST myself, I get the "We were Ganked" message from forum...

Something that made me think too.

There are lot of calls for donations for good and important reasons. Yet the amount of money they get is pathetic.
Now one guy wants to create a game and people are throwing money at him like crazy.

I do not blame Roberts for that, but the people who throw the money at him and even fell proud about that.
That makes me sick and I do not want to play with this kind of people.

Calling it a game is pretty naive TBH, all most people have seen is a slick marketing campaign and a really shoddy demo.

Its still alpha. Incomplete alpha. Whatever are your feelings about it.

Years before, I have seen games in alpha stage, nonplayable, but you could get them from some shady sources. Usually russians.
I remember one of Hitman games where barely few things worked consistently good. Such are alphas.

And its really early for such a game to be called even partially finished.

Well then what is it? I gave them $60 during the initial kickstarter 4 years ago and all I got so far is a buggy bare bones tech demo that has a long way to go before I'd call it a game.

I'm sure CR ment well and really thought he could pull it off but so far I'm not impressed with the way the project has been managed. Not to mention the rabid fanbase that demonizes anyone for bringing up any criticism of the game.

Than Dust 514 probably would be the crime of the year. <---- Kidding...

SC is not out yet. Not so long ago they released a presentation from their alpha 3.0.

See thats the problem with kickstarter. There is no guarantee that you will receive the product.
Since they are still working on the game you can not call this a scam. Even if he fails to deliver.

The only project I have backed was that book about EVE Online by Andrew Groen and it is great!

Roberts once failed with a similar project due to mismanagement (because of similar reasons). Do not forget that a big chunk of their money is already invested in the game. Its not that they are sitting on 100 million all along. Chances are good that he will fail again or not.
Why do not we take a step back and let time pass and the situation progress?
Why is it so important to discredit this guy and the game? Are you that afraid of SC hurting EVE?

They have lots of butthurt EVE haters on their forums, please do not be that childish and respond the same way.

Let them be childish, let them be jealous of EVE Online, let them be full of hate and do not act like them!

Enjoy your life!
And try to enjoy EVE. Cool

Thats why we are here, right? Right. Attention

I am only cooling the heads.
With current speed, their development will take few years more.
But I have said that same thing few years ago. Pirate

So we dont really know...
Until the money on account will be gone, for sure.

Then the game will be finished for sure. Whatever the meaning is.
