Personally, as a backer, I give Chris and his team the full benefit of the doubt. Until it enters Duke Nukem territory, I will just watch and wait.

Why are you baffled? Let me expalain my position. Both Tumbler and yourself have mentioned several times that you feel that you are 'part' of the development cycle/team. The information and feedback from the developers and the communication both ways is nothing short of amazing. Its like you guys cant see the forest from the trees. You guys talk about the involment with the fans, but thats not how things get done! If you had any knowledge of game development or indeed of any project management, this is NOT THE WAY you make a product! Not one that will ever leave the drawing board anyway. ALL and I mean ALL the information is coming from CR and his team. ALL is taken at face value. ALL is taken as fact. The inevitable delays, the inevitable bloat, everything is accepted as something thats just the way its gotta happen. Not to mention the huge piles of cash that people throw their way every time CR promises the moon!! People are already talking about Duke Nukem timelines as something that would be acceptable....Look I know you guys have a lot invested in this but if you take an objective look at the entire premise of the game, or rather project, as there is no game yet: That fans and backers take active part in designing the game they want...its too much, it cant happen. Not in any way or shape or fashion that would satisfy anyone.

I for one cant accept that. Not as a rational human being who is passionate about his hobby. It simply rubs me the wrong way. Even if CR means best, which Im sure that he believes he does, people are being taken for a ride. A ride that cant end well, and one that will sour Kickstarter and my favorite game genre (space sims) for good....
