There is no laws that exist to prevent a company from selling you something and then taking it away from you without returning your money? That sounds like quite a scheme to be LEGALLY ALLOWED...
Read the EULA of any game you have ever purchased. All of them state that your game is actually a 'service' that the game developer or rather publisher can end at any time that they choose to.
You dont own the game. You enter a contract or licence agreement that allows you to purchase and play the game as long as the publisher feels like allowing you to do so.
How legally binding EULAs really are is a matter that has yet to be put to the test. Judicially speaking of course.

I was a part of a server like this, and it was a good experience all told. Granted, I was one who paid for the highest package,

After flying my hornet in AC, I asked for a refund of my kickstarter. The flight model is not what they promised, you hit the spacebar and basically can just turret in space. It was supposed to be a ww2/star wars style dogfight flight model, but it's the complete opposite.

This game is going to ruin crow sourcing. Its hilarious how an unfinished game with a star ship is getting the star wars geeks all wet and dripping. So based on some barely playable hack job that a indie could make in 5 months star geeks are throwing money down the toilet and tingles are running down their legs?
Its not Eve on line dudes. Its not Star wars Galaxies. This is an unfinished indie mod. I know its hard to fathom but you might not want to sell the house and buy the $10,000 support package just yet.

This game will never actually be completed at this rate. Feature creep doesn't even begin to cover the Star Citizen scenario.
*EDIT* Grammar.

Chris Roberts was very clear about funding levels, if they could pass 10 million they wouldn't need a publisher, if they could pass 23 million they wouldn't need any private investment. These figures and goals were set very early.Cutter wrote on Jan 29, 2014, 20:32:He HAS said something about them. As I recall it was at least $10 million in private non crowd funding. I believe that's why he's pushing so hard on having it be MMORPG/F2P/Subscription/kitchen sink and everything else. Things like F2P are very hot in private funding right now.
just like we'll find out Roberts has corporate backers he's beholden to but hasn't said anything.

I've seen the dogfight video and to be honest Elite looks more impressive to me. Obviously it is further along the development then SC is, but also has 1/10th of the money SC gained to make a game.

You mean they haven't gotten another million yet?

So it's a matter of interpretation, does that mean it's all (human) multi player from now on?? or just having an AI partner.
