People who are backing this are hating so much on Star Citizen
Also, most of them (nearly 12000 backers) are only there to support Elite. Other big projects have many backers that previously supported other games.
On asshole level, they are comparable to M&B native community...
Meanwhile, David Braben posted 4 updates for 13 days... none of them showing anything "juicy". In last update he was talking about procedural generation technique and how awesome it is... like we're in 1983 and he's the only one doing that...
Space Engine that I've posted and many other similar projects already have procedurally generated universe and they are either open source or one man projects....
In short, bunch of nostalgic and deluded people supporting a man who has nothing to show and is most likely using Kickstarter to fund his company for few more years before it goes bankrupt.
In the end, succesful kickstarter campaing or not this is going to be a huge disappointment for everyone. That's what happens when people don't have enough information nor are willing to do some research.
