As far as I'm concerned, nobody should be angry at completely optional stuff. But The Internet likes to get angry.

I paid 45 bucks 4-5 years ago which gets me one ship, access to the alphas, as well as the finished game and also a copy of Squadron 42 whenever it releases.  I've played enough of the alphas to know that if nothing ever happens with this, I'll have gotten my 45 dollars worth.  And honestly, I'm more excited about Squadron 42 than the main game.  If that releases, I'll be happy as a pig in shit.  The main Star Citizen game will just be a bonus.

If you're happy with what you've got so far, then all the better for you, congratulations. But, from an outsider, it's hard to comprehend.

Yes, I know they've had to start from zero and that they're pushing the boundaries, but it's been 8 years and there's still no release date. That they're changing plans and delaying the game to add more features instead of doing it once the game launches, like it's the common practice, only highlights that.

Yeah, I'm not really expecting everyone else to like it or comprehend it or anything.  I just find it silly that so many people jump in crying scam, or actually getting angry because they offer optional high dollar pledges (like just about any kickstarter). I would never spend thousands on virtual ships and such, for the record, but the fact that the option exists isn't really something to react negatively about.
