I just base it on this.
The makers of this game are building a labor of love, and they've cut out the publisher to make it cheaper...
If they had a model that they were going to milk for money a la Zynga, I think they'd have pitched it to a publisher.
Anyway, I'm back to arguing that star citizen looks like a labor of love. I buy that these people earnestly want to build a good game.
Forgive me for being cynical, but after playing (and enjoying) Guild Wars 1, this is what everyone, including me, said to the people that were worried about this stuff for Guild Wars 2. Everyone thought that GW2 was truly a labor of love, but it turned out to be something completely different.

So Freelancer will be replaced by its next, way overdue gen. Thank you, Roberts and co.

Wow, this looks good. I may pledge something, if I have any Christmas money left over.

If you listened to his pitch video, you'd know that he plans to be constantly updating and expanding the game. That is going to cost money that has to come from somewhere. I don't think he's being greedy, I think he's being ambitious.

I still do not know, I think CR said something about "instanced fights". This means that people cannot just jump into fights in the open world, am I getting this correctly? This would suck tbh.
I also hope he doesn't focus too much on that military lifestyle in the game and gives us enough options to be pirates, Freelancers/mercenaries, bounty hunters, etc.

Fights will be instanced, yes...pretty large instances of upto 200 players iirc.
Plus you can join a squadron and then they can port into the same instance as you. So It's fine by me... also, expecting a combat system like freelancer would be, to be frank, absurd. Hardware limitations still exist and beyond a certain point, you can't allow people to join whatever engagement they have a mind to.
This keeps it fair enough, distributes the odds and since I can play with my friends,It's not something I have a issue with.
