Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

I mean even you should be able to admit that the scale/content of each planet/system has changed dramatically over the course of their development.

You got this from where exactly? Please explain and/or cite your sources.

Does it make sense to insist on a certain number or isn’t the quality much more important in the end?

Yes - because they have taken money via stretch goals with the promise of delivering specifically that. The FTC has shut down companies for less. You can’t take money to produce A+B+C, then deliver A and call it a day. You seem to be saying that when they promised 106 star systems, that they haven’t even delivered a SINGLE one so far, it’s perfectly OK. Because reasons.

They of course they still need to deliver a lot of that quality content but it’s not like the total amount of expected content has been reduced,

It hasn’t been reduced because they haven’t delivered it.

As a (former) developer you should also know that the first few planets/system will be the most time consuming due to the simple fact that all the systems need to be in place before you can crank out the content.

That’s actually not true. It has nothing to do with “systems”, but more to do with content. That’s why you license engines. The first planetary tech (which was an asteroid and barren moons) arrived Dec 23, 2017. Lorville, the 2nd one - which isn’t finished - is out this Dec 2018. All things being equal, ArCorp and Microtech will be out by Dec 2019.

106 star systems, paid for with $65M. 1 won’t be complete until end of 2019. Do the math. I’ll wait.

But I guess you are once again moving goal posts, now it isn’t anymore about a scam/if they deliver a game at all, it’s now about whether or not certain numbers are met.

You can’t actually be serious.
