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:

What's your take on why people give hundreds or thousands of dollars to this project years after it was announced?
why they still do? I have not a clue. But is it the same people? or newer players seeing the demos and then deciding to take the dive into SC? Do you think the same 1.5 million backers continually spending money on the project? I mean, the backers seems to grow as the funding grows so it seems to me that it's mostly newer people dropping funds and not necessarily the same "cultist" backers spending their entire paychecks every week.
I know kxmode and a few others believe I myself have drop 22K on a game because I use a U in my nick and only post in SC threads ...
Don't let KX fool you, he dropped a grand on the game and when he got cold feet he got the money back with such fanfare you would have thought he discovered the cure for cancer.
His mo is set in stone and this won't be the last time he pre-buys a game or kickstarter and is disappointed, just read a NMSky thread.
