Star Citizen Squadron 42 Delayed [Oct 10, 2016, 10:10 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:

Don't forget Overwatch. I hear some of the character art was salvaged from Blizzard's failed MMO. I guess by your logic they didn't do anything wrong there either.
It's telling that your knee-jerk reaction to me saying they've done stuff wrong is to say "No they haven't" and back it up with a list of projects that went wrong. It's nonsense. Either your argument is that they haven't done anything wrong, or it's that it's possible to do things wrong and still turn it around and make a good game. Pick one.
hu? where did I say other projects went wrong? and when did I ever say that SC was perfect and nothing is wrong?
Sorry, wasn't talking to you with that bit. Should have attributed the two halves of my post better. My bad.
