I want in on this action!

- It's another Fyre Festival fiasco.
- The backers gather at the site but the front door of the building is locked and it's dark inside. Crobblz and co are nowhere to be seen.
- Turns out, most of those moving trucks were actually Crobblz & bros clearing out and making their getaway.
- Finally, a truck stops in front of the venue building and unloads a single crate. It's labeled "Schrodinger's 3.0 build". (It's loving empty -- or possibly filled with poison gas).

My predictions:

Chris will spend more time talking about inane, ancillary bullshit than space gameplay.

A remarkably cringe inducing demo of Squadron 42 will make an appearance and confuse people about WTF they're actually getting.

Chris will not be anywhere near sober or a controller.

An awkward joke about not announcing dates will be made.

Sandi will make up for her incredible performance in American Satan by spending more time than ever holding the audience hostage.

Nothing new, notable, or remotely fun will be shown.

At least one failure during the demo will necessitate a repeat that exposes that it's all a huge bullshot.

The stream will be late, Chris will wear black, and Derek will declare that he called it.

I agree with this assessment, just after looking at the balances. It seems the finance team did an awesome job keeping things relatively stable despite increased expenses and they still have quite the piggy bank set aside.
If you took these costs and basically applied them to all of the CIG studios, it would seem their YOY OpEx is something like $20M at an extreme. That might concern some, but it shouldn't - they've been pulling in a good bit more money than that annually for the last little bit. Pretty impressive.

This is why these assholes can't balance their checkbook. Wow.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
This is an overdue update to the 3.0 Progress Infographic. As always, distribute freely if so motivated. Corrections always welcomed (and seemingly always needed.) If events on the show floor reveal surprises that need to be accounted for, they will of course be added.



As for predictions, I still think a 3.0 only show is going to be salting wounds and reminding people of their frustrations with the above.

So as I stated a while back and as Beer just posted, I’m expected a surprise Squadron glimpse, despite CIG’s claims to the contrary... Not because Squadron is the solution to their big problems — particularly not their financial ones — but because it remains largely an untapped source of celebrity-infused hype. The goodwill reserves of Mark Hamill, the megawatt luminance of their prestige cast for older nerds (Oldman, Andersen, etc.), Squadron still has the potential to distract the aggrieved, to attract the uninformed, to boater the flagging confidence of the exhausted and to get media outlets parroting then again for a change. And of course it would consummate a long overdue promise from last fall.

So I predict a Squadron moment - even if it only points towards a year end BIG REVEAL. They have to change the narrative (above) in such a desperate, palpable way, and I think “Starring Luke Skywalker!” is just the Jedi mind trick they need.

(Plus with Sandi unexpectedly cut from American Satan, she really needs a break. A little shared screentime with a familiar face might be just the update she needs to give her show reel some heat...)
