That was my thought.  It came across as almost a word for word retelling of some of the parts from their article which I preferred to watching the video, but you can see the enthusiasm and that I'm happy to see from a main gaming mag editor.

It's an enthusiasm that people have when they realize it's happening and that there is more to come. This seems to be the prevailing attitude among "outsiders" who have some understanding of games and how they are made.

Unfortunately most people who consume games know little more than "Disk goes in, game turns on."

The majority of people just finding out about SC are new PC players who are also new to the Pre Alpha concept. It's normal for us, however we literally represent 10% of the entire gaming community (PC gamers as a whole not just SC related). Half of the other gamer's, say 45%, still don't realize SC isn't going to launch on console. 

We all just need to be aware that we're the minority when it comes to crowdfunding, pre alpha, and kickstarter type games. It's up to us to educate those who ask questions about the game, and how CIG works in developing this game, because it's unlike any other out there. We also have to understand that people using, "Well there isn't much to do right now" as a fault of the alpha build as normalcy. It's going to be normal for people to use that as a con to judge SC for a long time. I feel as a backer, it's important to encourage people who are new, to see it as a work in progress. You can see the cake, you can even dip your finger in the frosting, but it has to bake, and that baking period can take 2-3 more years.
