So guys what have I missed in the last 250 or so pages

Is this game still just as hosed, or *even more hosed* than it was before?

Nothing has changed meaningfully since November 2015 when I learned of Star Citizen's existence.

My understanding is that nothing has changed meaningfully since more like 2013 or 2014, but I wasn't there that early, so I don't know.

That's all.

they made a chart of all the deadlines they missed, which pleased the backers because it shows how hard they're working

First day of a new sale and free fly, following CIG's mic drop with the 3.0 schedule!



... what a damp squib.

If you go look at what's on offer for this sale, it's profoundly unexciting. The good stuff would probably still sell like hotcakes, but that trick won't work indefinitely -- even Citizens will eventually realize that they can't actually use 5 personal Javelins. So CIG has to keep that stuff in reserve and trot out these warmed-over leavings, but they're not even getting enough purchases to push them to the ~$100K daily breakeven point, on the first day of a heavily front-loaded sale, having had to incur huge amounts of technical/engineering debt (via the just-published production schedule) even to get to this point.

at this point SC is essentially inventing a new type of consumer - some sort of hybrid between whale and cultist

The fact he can even say this is pretty ridiculous, but to say it on a post about 3.0 - the thing that was promised to be finished, not even started, half a year ago - is just stunning

To show you how utterly ridiculous the 3.0 schedule is, whereby they are promising a MASSIVE list of stuff for release END OF JUNE 2017, someone spliced it all together in a nice graphic.

If that doesn't show just much BS that is, then I don't even know what to say at this point. Good thing is that even some of the hardcore backers are taking notice that we're way past the ridiculous point now. Completely.

Then there's this: http://schedule.starcitizen.guide/

It's certainly big enough, and just to be sure, they can lob Ben at it. Huge chart + huge projectile = high CTH, obviously.

I sure am glad that they've spent a bunch of effort to put together a schedule to show how they're going to deliver all the stuff which is already 4 months overdue from when they said it would be done.

This time they will deliver what they've promised I'm sure.
