Well looking at their 2014 (post scope change) schedule Star Citizen fully released last year

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

In a year and a half, they've added shopping, clothes, a space station, and some ships. Oh, and a bottom of the barrel trash FPS in an engine made explicitly for FPS games.

Good luck with 3.0 with the claimed features by the end of the year, or ever.

It all makes sense if you look at things in the context of CIG time, where "weeks, not months" actually means over a year and six years of development is "early days".

June/July is mid-year. Evocati will begin testing 3.0 before then.

Assume they spin Evocati testing out for nearly 3 months under a strict NDA, that gets them to Citizen Con.

179 days until Citizen Con.

I'm far from convinced they'll make it that far, according to the dodgy tracker, June 2016 brought in $2,216,294, July was $895,920.

Finishing the game with everyone else's continues
3.0 coming any time this year with everything as promised by Chris (back when he said it was coming out soon) is basically a pipe dream. Mostly everything CIG talks about is couched in the context of them mulling over their options and then is immediately followed by them forcibly reeling back expectations when someone takes a half-baked idea spoken aloud and runs to Reddit to speculate about it. All anyone ever really gets shown is mocap of absolutely menial and unimportant poo poo, or a bunch of npcs navigating the treachery of a loving cafeteria.

That said I have no doubt they will release something and call it 3.0, but it's gonna be a mess.

It's those loving Germans. What is it about scat porn and Star Citizen that makes them so loving strange?

Well, he's kind of right. They do see it as a better tool for community communication, he just misses the point that they want to be able to delete/hide lies in a much easier way, out of the public eye.

I like that they still believe you can only get a refund 2 weeks after a purchase. Last time somebody tried that, the automated process refunded him in full and closed his account.

From the top of the forum page

"On April 14, all our old forums will be archived. You will no longer be able to create new threads or reply to old ones. Please prepare to make the jump to Spectrum."

This is causing lots of grief. There is a disturbance in the farce.

Seems that posts that are too negative of Spectrum are being deleted in Spectrum.

They're shutting them down to new posts, and archiving them. I'm expecting that at some point the archives will go offline, and it won't be a priority to bring them back up.

The schedule's done when it's done, most games are in development for 5-10 years before developing even a rough design document

And this is from a well established company that's been doing this for literal decades. Sometimes just building a basic concept for an entire decade before nailing anything down.

Yeah, we're actually five years in now, so it's getting harder to compare other development _favorably_. Especially given the list of mechanics not sorted out.

Yea and the spectrum users are screeching ALPHA at people who complain it sucks. Its on version 0.3.

But they never answer, why move from working thing to an objectively worse non working thing.
