Some dude just got a 7k refund.

When is this supposedly getting released again?

[Spoon]

Last year, the year before that, this year, the year after. The release date is a very flexible thing. Its in a constant state of quantum flux.

After Half-Life 3?

It also depends on your definition of "released". They could call it "done" tomorrow, but keep fixing and changing and adding stuff until it actually works right, which might never happen really.

November 2014

I just fired back with proof of Croberts saying they kept cash in reserve to finish if funding stopped, and then saying if that cash reserve has been blown through then it suggests colossal mismanagement of the project. There's no way for them to respond with a denial of refund with that.

Of course, it also helps that the last time I actually bought anything from CIG it was before they rewrote the ToS to say "If you want a refund, be aware you acknowledged that the scope of the project may change and delays can result from it..."

Technically speaking they have already released a thing

I am sure that's what they will also point to when confronted.

It's getting to the point that I think many backers will be surprised with how much the current thing they're playing will be called the "MVP". I'd say they have a couple of incremental patches and maybe one more major system to implement + SQ42, then they're done and are going to start laying people off. Someone else put it quite well when they said Chris will release a note saying the studio is "becoming more efficient" by eliminating people, and then they'll just continue to limp on for a couple years until a newer, better game comes out and does it better.

Well, the original ToS suggested a completed game with features by 2014 or 18 months past 2014, so...

On a lighter note, if any of us develop time travel years in the future, could you come back and tell us how SC/SQ42 is doing?

[FrikgFeek]

No game will ever release that can measure up to the hopes and dreams of SC fans.  A game that is everything for everyone and can only exist in their minds. That's why no matter what new games come out none of them will be as "ambitious" as SC and people will keep supporting it until it withers away into obsolescence.

Well, it's not looking good, and in our advancing age and otherwise starved for content in this thread, many of us have begun repeating ourselves....

On the bright side, once I head back to the future, I'll be hitting my 1,000th post soon, so maybe people will finally stop assuming I'm new around here.

You content locust

Also hi, welcome to HLP

Also hi, welcome to HLP

Wasn't there supposed to be beams ... or something, in the past? ;-)

[Cobra]

Had to dust the emitters off, is all.

This thread is an eyesore. Do we want to be a nexus for Star Citizen toxicity on the Internet? We're already starting to attract people like BlueFlames who have registered specifically to participate in this flamewar. How long until people reminisce about the days that this used to be a FreeSpace website?

Um.

I believe that's the joke.

From a Reddit thread on how unreadable the new cockpit displays are:

"Wait there was a HUD in this game at one point? WTF. Why in the world would they remove that. The MFDs always felt really low tech and old to me in this game (only got it at Christmas). I always wondered about that. Look at the F35 HUD and that today not 2000 years from now. That seems like a horrible decision."

"Straw man argument. Characters need clothes just as bad as ships need screens, and both can be developed and improved simultaneously without one interfering with the other."
