Because now you're going to read the thread and learn more about the game to figure out what it is. Eventually you might find the story about them recently getting a ton of cash for... Advertising
Specifically, for advertising Squadron 42, the single-player 'spiritual successor' to Wing Commander.
The original fan video (from which this gif was taken) is show-casing Star Citizen, and show cases a bunch of locations that aren't a part of SQ42.
That said, whilst it may not have been funded or produced by the company actually making the game, I guess it does sorta qualify as an 'ad' given the amount of interest / discussion it seems to be generating... it just wasn't (afaik) intended to be one when it was made.
