And what, they are upset that they might need to buy the second part of SQ42? This is their only problem with this whole mess? I can't understand these people.

Caught up with the thread.

Feeling better though I still have about another six weeks or so of medical things to do.

Also, the theme song for A View to a Kill is classic 80’s pop awesomeness.

Trying to rip me off with 1000$ space ships and land claims? Technological dead-end without admitting it and still collection money based on lies? No problem, but having to buy SQ42-p2 for another 40$ is a big deal?

The $40 Squalude might be the last straw for Jeff.... He just might even cancel his sub for this travesty should it prove true!!!



But seriously, I really think even if the $40 Squalude was the Q4 2020 plan at the start of the year, it’s probably not anymore. Star Wars: Squadrons is Infinite Warfare all over again but worse because it’s actually Star Wars this time, it’s intentionally a throwback to the glory era of 90’s dogfighters, and it’s made with VR gameplay in mind.

EA’s pricing it to sell, it’s PC and console, and it’s likely to be a pretty decent unit shifter dropping October 2nd. If there was even the slightest hope for a Q4 Squadron prelude release this year, it’s gone. He still might make Squadron the centerpiece of (virtual) CitizenCon again, as in 2017 and 2015, but he’s going to have to really lean on his all star cast now more than ever. It’s the only thing that distinguishes Squadron at all. The dogfighting will suck, the storyline will suck, the graphics will be decent but will pale next to next gen console releases, the name will be more genericized and confusing than ever, and it’s no longer filling a big open hole in the marketplace like it could have in 2015. It’s just another space dogfighter, and outclassed by the AAA offerings that came while he dawdled.

I hope that Chris faces too much pressure from investors to keeping punting (because he absolutely loves punting and has more reasons to than ever), but even the Calders might prefer not to see their recent couch money investment go head to head with a competitive Star Wars title. So maybe they’ll pull another vanishing act like they did in 2016, then claim they’ll show a slice at CitCon 2021, and then slide it back another year and hope no other AAA space games hit the market in 2022...

I really hope they officially release something someday. Gaming media too finally sit down and review this steaming pile and break the illusion that perpetual Alpha has created in backers minds.

They pushed elevator panels back a whole quarter and maybe more AFTER releasing new ones on MicroTech.
This is all after them saying last year that their new pipeline and way they do things will be better, more efficient, and quicker, but they'll only update quarterly and here we are seeing them pushing back elevator panels a whole quarter.
The production goals the leads set aren't rooted in reality. It's happened enough times that it isn't just missed projections. It's chronic failure to deliver and then adjust in the future not to set such lofty expectations.

quote:

They also said that if they need the extra time they'll take it, but people seem to gloss over that quote.

quote:

That doesn't excuse years of failed projections. If it were a handful of times over the years, that's fine. Prognostications on production times are tough. That's not what's happened here though. It's the norm rather than the anomaly. When it happens over and over it's incompetence, and the bit about going to quarterly releases was an excuse and they left themselves an out, and we reward them with more funding for messier updates with less progress?
Joke's on us I see and they're laughing all the way to the bank because we don't hold them accountable.

Actually, it does because that's exactly what they said they would do.
