It's always been an estimate, and they've always been crystal clear about the process and releasing new estimates. If you haven't pledged, you aren't receiving the incredible amount of updates from almost every team at CIG. In the past week I have received seven Star Citizen-related emails. There are about two or three videos from CIG uploaded to Youtube every week. If you didn't pledge, you don't see that. You just see whining on Reddit. And again, as someone that's put a ton of money into development, and who is pleased with the state and direction of the game, I hope this isn't released in the next two years. Or the next four. Or however many years before "it's done", because I actually did fund the game, and I went into the Kickstarter expecting to fund Chris Roberts' magnum opus. And that's what I'll wait for, as the person who's put two orders of magnitude more money into it than your average kid whining about it on Reddit.

And fans seem to have a good time enjoying those updates, up to the point that the actual finishing of the physical "game" is becoming irrelevant. So I like to think of Star Citizen fans not as conventional video game fans but as Youtube subscribers paying for the update videos and the occasional kool demo...
