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:

It's being built to last a decade, not disappear in a couple of years like Elite: Dangerous or a couple of months like No Man's Sky. Whether it will achieve that is another matter but that's what it's aiming for.
Comparing SC to CSGO is just ridiculous. CSGO is popular due to its hypercompetitive replayability and gambling. SC aims to be an open world sandbox. WoW is a better comparison to the PU, but whereas Blizzard opted for streamlining, RSI is taking the opposite tack. They're trying to model everything in simlike detail in a direct appeal to the hardcore. This will quickly drive away all but the most hardcore.
Fine, but you see my point? WoW was designed to appeal to both the LCD and hardcore. Star Citizen is only the latter. While I personally am glad for that, it limits the ability appeal to the masses, limiting players.
And comparing SC to TF or CSGO is stupid. Just stop.
