Star Citizen Squadron 42 Delayed [Oct 10, 2016, 09:10 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Squadron 42 campaign for Star Citizen is delayed until 2017,
reports Kotaku UK, saying the news was revealed during a livestream from
CitizenCon. The first chapter of the single-player side of the space simulator
was most recently supposed to come to backers this year, but this news confirms
rumors of a delay that surfaced
last month. On the bright
side,
Eurogamer notes that Cloud Imperium Games released a new video showing off
how planets will be procedurally generated in the game, along with other
tidbits, including a sandworm, though they don't specify whether this is showing
us Beetleguise or Dune. Back to the delay, the Kotaku UK story offers two
slides with details on the state of the project, and here is what those say:

I seriously doubt I'll play it when it arrives...they had their chance and blew it.
Why? Is that a "there's no way it will be good enough to waste my time on it" statement or a "I've followed the development of this too closely to play it unless it's the best game ever made" kind of statement?
Often I see people turned off of games they followed closely, because they followed closely. Personally, the best course seems to be just not following development closely.
Your tastes change, and so does your situation. 5 years ago, I loved playing RTS games and long, deep RPGs. Now I barely play either. I prefer shorter, simpler stuff. I know the Witcher 3 is perhaps the best RPG ever made, and right up my alley, but I haven't picked it up because I don't see myself with either the time or motivation to play it.
I get that, which is why I gave nin the benefit of the doubt, but I think many swear they'll never play it due to how annoying the development process has been.
Similar to how some refuse to buy games because of broken promises from the devs. At some point, that's on you, too. In many cases millions of people love these games because they don't pay close attention too soon. If someone is the type to repeatedly swear they won't buy a game because of stuff behind the scenes, maybe best to stop paying attention to the behind the scenes.
I have little interest in SC - I just don't like these types of games. But if it comes out and is great, I may check it out. I haven't really bothered reading these articles so the nonsense is meaningless to me.
