This took even longer to edit, but I think I got most of the main points out.
Enjoy!

I didn't even have the attention span to read the original article. Im assuming the TL;DR is they aren't reporting accurately and don't give a shit because its clicks and views.
WARNING long... Oh! I missed that part ha ha
CHEERS!
CHEERS!
Glorious Leader Montoya is always so cognitive and classy when explaining to dunderheads how they misunderstand and misrepresent The Star Citizen Project.
The guy who wrote that is not a journalist. But that is probably what he was taught in college these days.
Write it up for how you want to influence people, not for what the facts are.

Very nice video thanks for summing up the article i wanted to read it but it was so dry and i hate reading this made it much easier for me thanks.
Watching this, do we have a Montoya drinking game?
Personal attacks. I hope for Forbes’ sake there’s nothing libellous in that article.
Most of your arguments are pretty valid to me, except this one:
I think size of a map is not a good comparison of the quality of a game. I would prefer a small map with a lot of content and a well placed elements , over every full planet with procederal generated and repeating buildings, trees and so on, which no one is going to travel. (except some space nerds)
In case of star citizen it adds to the immersion but its not a good argument to show how "well progressed the game is". This is also contrary to the argument, when ED released it had millions of stars which have been empty.
Its like comparing the size of ships in eve and SC. OFC Eve ships are much bigger but the overall quality of SC ships is waaaay better.
I'M ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN THOSE COURT FILES AND MORE DETAILS OF FILTHY SANDY!

Finally got to watch the video.
Quote from various places: "Shame on you"
When TEST gets to say that to someone? You know they've goofed.
And yeah, an article in a business magazine not mentioning CIG was recently valued at $496 million... that's kind of Finance reporting Basics is it not?

That was likely part of the point of the article. "CIG is starting to attract investors, someone needs to stop it or the world will change."
No argument there. I can see how that may have come across, but I am not saying big empty space is better than feature rich content. 4km squared of Skyrim has more content that all of Star Citizen at the moment.
Im really curious about this too.
Are these documents public record in California?
If so, can we get somebody local to go to a court house and request these documents to confirm?
If there is a fee to request them, let me know, we will cover your costs.
Awesome video, went great with my evening beer!
Edit: would love to see those court documents as well, will pitch in a few bucks if needed!
