How ironic and quite convenient seeing as you just ignored most of the two posts you quoted to take a couple bits out of context.
I didn't bother to quote this part:
It was in alpha, lots of place holders, missing content not yet implemented and on and on and on. Exactly my point, I DO pay attention to that. But that's still in a near feature complete state, or at least in a place where it's withing touch(few months) of being feature complete. How would half of that alpha(not just size but features too) have left you? I seriously doubt you'd even be discussing anything other than a refund on these forums.
..because my response would have been
"That's just nonsense.", and I thought it was better left unsaid.
To you maybe, you very quickly and carelessly discard the meaning of 8 months of development and ~1mil in funding....that is surely just nonsense, the game made zero progress in that time and an SEA release then would have been just as good as it is now. My point stands.....you pick and choose your quotes more than anyone here....and not just by cutting them out of a reply. Don't be a hypocrite, don't point fingers when you are guilty as sin yourself.
Why I am continuing to bother with this, I just don't know.
The problem here is you misunderstood what I said/meant and are now trying to beat me over the head with that confusion in a public showing of superiority. I guess I left out a key word that would have made it crystal clear, but I thought the context was enough. Apparently not.
When I said
"I feel like we're picking and choosing which statements to believe here,", I was specifically referring to statements from the developers (which have been repeated in this thread).
Aside from pointing out that you ignored a fairly large response from me (save for a joke at the end about Star Citizen), I was not accusing anyone of cherry-picking our personal statements here when I made that comment. I try and crop for space just as much as anyone. If I only grab a snippet when quoting response, it is either:
1) ..for space/spam prevention reasons.
2) ..because I already covered something in a previous response, and don't feel like repeating myself again because it will likely just get ignored a second/third/fourth time.
3) ..because someone is saying something that really doesn't warrant a response (e.g.
"I think RPGs are fun!")3) ..because I feel someone just made a ridiculous comment and (to me) it's not even worth responding to or acknowledging. The whole
"if you can't say anything nice.." approach.
4) ..some combination of the above.
