I have to be honest, the people that spent more than say 50-100 bucks on spaceships in an unreleased game? Especially the ones that spent thousands?
I hope the game tanks, and never releases. I know, it's a harsh attitude, but follow my logic: if you were just excited about the game for its mechanics, I would never say I wanted you to miss out on the fun.
But I don't even understand people who pre-order games in 2014, having never played them and no assurance they are actually good products. Much less anyone who spent thousands. The best word I can come up with is "foolish".
Why? Because I think it's really foolish to put that many of your eggs -- whatever your income -- in an invisible, non-existant basket. They would deserve it. It's foolish. Spend your money how you want, but if you do something dumb with it and regret it, who are you going to cry to?
I actually have more sympathy for the people who risked their money in buying said invisible starships, clearly on speculation, specifically to take advantage of these people's foolishness.
(Try not to take this too harsh... unless you're one of these people).
EDIT: I have thought of something better than the whole game tanking and noone having fun. I would totally patch the game 0-day to make the "preorder/kickstarter exclusive" ships available to the general public, with a trivial amount of in-game currency.
