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:

It wasn't until the release of Arena Commander that I increased my pledge, as I really liked the direction of the game and wanted to support it. Over time I've spent small amounts upgrading to various different ships, buying merchandise, etc. I also gifted some copies of the game to friends and family when there were some offers. My total spend is now $620 - that includes several T-shirts, a CitizenCon ticket, four game packages (two for friends; two for me, including the limited edition AMD package) and an additional ship. In total that works out to about $12 a month.
What's your take on why people give hundreds or thousands of dollars to this project years after it was announced?
For that money I've got to enjoy the game as it progress, watch all the community content (hours of videos a week), meet backers and developers at CitizenCon (I got to talk to Chris Roberts, Erin Roberts, Sandi Gardiner and Dave Haddock), go on Concorde, shape the development of the game and make many friends. For me that's incredible value for money.
Here's a picture of me with Chris Roberts, with Erin Roberts and Dave Haddock.
