That's a mentality that has seriously bought into the worst of the "minimum viable product" preaching on a very deep level. No way - reading most of the comments, you see that most anticipate 2017-18.

Game was originally set for release in 2014, Croberts says he started work on it in 2011. Possible 2018 Minimum Viable Product release, what's wrong with that? Oh, I don't know. Maybe that CryEngine 3 will be celebrating it's 9 year anniversary in 2018. Maybe that the company can't even keep up technical production with the current components and ships, but they could release a hundred more ships between now and 2018. It's laughable that this is even being floated by fans of a kickstarter in 2012. It seems like "most anticipate" whatever seems like the rosiest possible prediction for the time. If the Crobbler comes out next year and says they always anticipated a 2019 release you'll be eating it up to regurgitate for the other baby birds.

If they were to release between 2017-2018, however, would that not fall into the estimated development times of practically every AAA title? If we count development from beginning of 2013 through end of 2017, we're talking about 5 solid years straddling the 6th.

Possible 2018 Minimum Viable Product release, what's wrong with that? The thing is, the game looks like poo poo right now, in 2016. It looked like poo poo last year, in 2015. For all their claims of "fidelity", the sad reality is that the game just looks bad. Even if they fixed every single other issue with framerate, network performance, horrifying flight "physics", the fact would remain that the game, strictly from an aesthetic standpoint, looks bad and, even more damning, generic. How will it look in 2018? All could be forgiven if there were any game systems planned, and they were knock-it-out-of-the-park awesome and single-handedly redefined the genre - but how likely is that? They don't even have a game in this game yet - just vague ideas cribbed from other properties, none past the "thinking about it" stage. This project always was, is, and will always be, nothing more than what Chris envisioned in the early 90s. This is just wish-fulfillment for him - making the game he wanted to make back then, including all the aesthetic and gameplay trappings of that era - like Hollywood actors, motion capture, head bob, and all the poo poo that only made sense almost 20 years ago. Even if some kind of divine intervention happened and techno-gods descended from the heavens and told Chris "We are here to enable your vision - all you dictate to us shall be" and they built his game for him and under his instructions, the game would be absolute and complete poo poo. But at least the flight would work.

Sure and if we count development beginning in 2016, it hasn't even been in development for a year yet. But that wasn't when it started development was it.

Don't forget that most of the time they've spent so far has been used on motion capture (which is immaterial to Star Citizen proper), and designing ships to sell. The foundation of the game's engine is still faulty, and there are no actual game systems in place. The part of the process that they're going to have to rush through is the part that determines if the game is any fun to play.

Since development only counts when you have >100 people working on a project, many successful games have been released with literally zero development done on them. Makes you think.

With funding trending down, media turning hostile, dissension even in formerly 'safe spaces' like reddit, why on earth would they hold back? They can stop the slide, retake control of the narrative, return goons and DS back to irrelevance, and send funding back into the stratosphere, with ONE simple trailer or demo that shows real, tangible, in game progress on either SQ42 or SC. But they haven't. I don't see how they could have NOTHING to show unless they, like most of thread believes, have NOTHING period. SHOW US. "Spoilers" is no longer an acceptable excuse.
