I backed the original Kickstarter in 2014. SQ42 has been “nearly ready” for years now. I’m not at all surprised SQ42 and Star Citizen are covered in suspicion and doubt, given how much time Roberts is willing to waste making sure people have to eat and drink and reworking ships and game mechanics, while getting sucked out of your ship when you warp and being unable to refuel/rearm remained problems for years. Hell I bet they still are.
The game was supposed to be something we could play on our own terms, not a wide open griefer fest like it is now.
Having a couple people coming up with ideas for the game while the rest of the team works on a different game is not the same as being in full development that entire time, like Star citizen has
That is literally CIG, everyone worked on SQ42. Not star citizen. Only very recently were more than a handful of devs moved to star citizen now SQ42 is feature complete.
That’s not true at all. They’ve always been building them in parallel. Did they shift some of the devs to get the final push to finish SQ42? Recently? Yes. Was it the majority of the devs working on SC? No.
No release in sight? Squadron 42 is preparing for publishing and in polish stage, as mentioned in article
Oh for the 5th year in a row? Alright, I’ll believe that when I see it.
I better be able to see my past reflected in that shine!
Was only recently announced but sure
You cannot be serious right now.

I dunno I stopped waiting, I don’t care anymore.
Lower development costs and faster to develop than GTA 6 so far, with more to show for it. Don’t give up hope
Sure Jan
That’s a small fraction of the promised final game.
Yea, don’t worry. Lemmy is just as infected with those who have shallow opinions based on no relevant insight into the topic at hand as reddit is.
I mean look at the comments. They likely don’t even know that it’s two seperate games not just one that’s being built.
Once SQ42 is out we will see how it good or bad it turns out and can then judge if the money was worth it.
It’s okay GTA 6 has been in development longer, at higher expense and has less to show for it

They said about 2016, too.
