cutting sq42 would be their smartest move since they started selling ~~ships~~ jpegs for cash tbh

Except that's the whole crowd fund. The MMO was the stretch goal.

How many of the 1000k ships will you be able to use in SQ42?

They have to have a sale this Friday, funding entering "Citizens are going to notice" range.

Weekend was bad.

I thought it was odd it trended up for a few days. Then I remembered probably a lot of turbo nerds are buying jpegs for their waifus's for Valentine's day.

Fellow commandos. Prepare yourselves for a hilarious announcement at the end of March /start of April. A Stimperial address is planned to explain where sq42 is , or indeed isnt. Its going to be even better than 'You've had it all along stop loving whining'

Real talk.

Crobbler will announce that due to the "overwhelming" (few dozen because that's all that's left interested in this shitfire) requests that focus is put on the PU, SQ42 is now going to be turned into a FMV movie and released before the PU is finished. This will make it the first movie about a videogame that isn't even out yet!

Perhaps CIG are renting out Ben to furniture companies so said companies can test how much it takes to break their sofas and such?
If Roberts saw someone play Normality back in -96, that would be very Croberts like of him to steal the idea.

Team, everyone focus all your efforts on Star Marine!

Team, everyone focus all your efforts on Squadron 42! Drop that other poo poo!

Team, everyone get on 2.4!

I said, drop that other poo poo!

Team, everyone focus all your efforts on the planet-side demo!

Team, everyone get on 2.5! Team, everyone focus all your efforts on Squadron 42! Team, everyone focus all your efforts on the vertical slice demo! Team, everyone get on 2.6!

For the last time, drop that other poo poo! For the love of God, get on Squadron 42!

Odd, they normally start sales on a Friday for 10 days so they hit two weekends, then forget to end the sale for a day or two.

Why abandon the classics?

TheAgent has been leaking for a while now that they're planning to roll S42 into the existing multiplayer game as some sort of lovely mission packs. I expect it's related to that.

This makes a surprising amount of sense and might actually satisfy some edge cases, most of them don't actually want a game anyway
