Star Citizen - Did you pledge & what do you expect?

[13CentKiller]

I pledged at the very beginning. Snapped up the unlimited insurance and other goodies such as the technical guide...etc 5+ years ago. I don't regret it, but I won't be playing until a proper release is available.

In this fast paced throw-away digital world we have acclimatised to the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield amongst other games, being churned out yearly and patience has become a foreign concept. Good things take time! Admittedly, I felt a tad burned by Day Z as I expected it to take the same kind of time it might take to develop Battlefield. But it's far more complex with a much smaller team developing the concept. To their credit, both developers of SC and Day Z are staying in touch with their respective communities, even though a lot of haters stomp them in to the virtual mud. I personally disagree with user driven development for this very reason. Nobody knows what they want and they all complain at eachother in public.

Star Citizen and Day Z are both breaking new ground in their own ways. I'm afraid good work just takes longer and everyone who waits will be rewarded for their patience later. We must not haste developers in to decisions they do not want to make or force decisions faster than they want to make them. The public suffers later for it.
