I probably would have lost hope after two years and canceled. Looks like the faith placed in Lotrek may soon start paying off but in 99% of similar situations the companies never deliver.

How did it get there? selling virtual spaceships $30 to $2500 at a time (yes $2500 is the highest I know of).

The multiplayer game has been playable since 2015 I think it is (though only 2 of the 100 promised star systems are in game), but its still an alpha and the single player game (SQ42) isnt available in any form.

This! Should I hang on paying $70 dollars a month for another year just to get a large print? It wasn't mentions of anything else. Besides first dibs or a free shipping code, I don't know what else.

There's literally no project that collected $724 million us dollars. Either you mean $724k (724,000) or it's $724 million of a different currency. https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/most-funded if you mean this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen then it collected $2.1M

Posting it on IG is maybe more important for advertising to potential new patrons.

right, it's more important to advertise for new patrons than to keep your existing patrons informed. Right. Sure.

Maybe you don't have to have a contrarian take for everthing eh?

@mods would love it if you blocked someone they couldn't see/comment on your posts. Seems rather counter intuitive.

Where did he mention that? I don't see any mention of it going on sale on his patreon or his Instagram.
