Oh it's not one tech demo, it's several. They aren't connected. If they aren't connected it isn't a game. People just don't want to admit they were scammed when they "bought" that fancy ship in that "game".
Are you mad that parts of a game arent coded as a unified whole l? If those individual parts work, and they seem to be maintaining enough of a player base to continue funding the game, why are you actually mad? Are still trying to keep the meme of "Star Citizen Bad!" going when it is clear that the game doesn't care what others think, the players don't care, and no one is copying your sentiment?
That must be tough.
I'm not mad I just don't trust the Devs of Star Citizen. I think their monetization as a whole reeks of a scam and I don't understand why people defend it.
I think people can take issue with the funding model while still believing in the development effort as a whole. The funding model can change, after all.
