Well, telling people first that there will be no SQ42 news at Shitizen Con, then telling them that a working pre-alpa 3.0 still is months out and then showing them a beautiful video demonstration of all things you clearly can't deliver would send a loud and clear message. To normal people. To the now remaining backers, it probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway, so the sales of another expensive JPEG shouldn't be much afflicted if they were honest about upfront. I think... but that only goes to show how stupid you must be if at this point you still haven't asked for a refund.
