Look, you've been steadfast against PC and PC development optimisation and such, so I'm not even going to argue this. I love No Man's Sky (also on PC, btw), so I see no reason to bicker over the success of either game (and $45 million is a huge success already for a start up company financially, even if they fail to deliver the best game possible).

I could say the same thing about you in relation to consoles. But that is not the point or what this is about. That should have been clear to you when i used no mans sky as an example course as you so nicely pointed out, its also coming to PCs.

What I am talking about is that its bad business sense to come off talking down every other platform before your game is even released. Its just bad business. And again, if they feel... or you feel that having raised $45M so far givs them the right to do that then I am telling you that that is just not thinking big enough in the grand scheme of things. This is actually a big deal if you know how crowdfunding works. How many people gets a copy of the game from that $45M, how many more in sales do they plan on selling? How much does it really cost to make the game and how much goes to profits?

I have not said I want  star citizen to do badly.... hell I also funded the game for crying out loud!! Albeit with only $40 and will probably be the only game I play on amy PC in a while. I am just saying taht whenever devs come off talking like this, from experience... it never ends well for them. Look at too human, look at crytek.... even gabe ended up eating crow at some point... and prior to wither 2 CDP also said they would never make a console version of the game, now a console is the lad platform.

All I have said here, is lets see where they are in a few years. But that somehow offends you? Please, tell me where i have said one thing negative about the game???????

You know, arguing with you is getting a tad boring. You claim that I am offended, nowhere did I say that. You claim that I claimed that you claimed that you want Star Citizen to do badly. No where did I say that. You claim that I am against consoles, which isn't true at all, seeing as that I own a PS3, PS4, Wii U and comment tons on console threads about how I am looking forward to Destiny on PS4 or Zelda U and such. 

And you originally said that $45 million is not impressive, which I said isn't true. Now you are saying that the $45 million isn't impressive because the game may be bad in the future and in the future they may not get enough sales. All of that is completely hypothetical, when all the original argument was that it was impressive that they already have $45 million as a start-up company. The (completely hypothetical) future has no role in this.

And if you did fund the game, as you claim, can you provide proof? You need a pretty good PC to play the game, as many have pointed out before, and yet you don't come across as a PC gamer.
