I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Nobody's mad that didn't throw money in the pit. It's just a funny story that never seems to end. Every year they don't have a finished product, the joke gets funnier.

Idk I've seen a lot of people getting genuinely upset over this stuff.

I don't have a horse in this race, but it's the perfect counterpart to companies like EA Games where unfinished games come out because developers had to meet an arbitrary deadline. Star Citizen is right at the other end of the spectrum and you see what happens when there are no deadlines and the product is never finished. I would love to play it, but my backlog is so big that I can afford to be a patient gamer. I have about 35 years until I retire and if version 1.0 is out by then I'll be happy to take another look.

On the bright side though, they are consistently updating the game. I don't play, but several of my friends play it all the time, and to them it definitely seems to be worth what they paid.

consistently updating the game

People are still falling through elevators and delivery missions are still bugged to hell four years after I quit for those reasons, but hey, they have beards now! 😂

"A lot" is an interesting descriptor, especially when comparing loud easily defined groups with quieter more subtle groups.

Its the difference between those animals that puff themselves out to five times their normal size and those that prefer not to be seen at all. Are there a significant portion of the first as compared to the second, just because you see them more blatantly?

Yep, "I've seen a lot" does in fact refer to the portion I've seen, which is a lot.
