Ah, how i wish the mods would let us change the thread name like on SA.
Although the current thread name on SA is a bit too spicy for this forum.
I liked the last one though, "A scammers dozen"

Middle aged men sat around bragging about the size of their..... fleets.
Demo playable by the press.
Sidenote about "Imminent" > Ho boy. It was just a quick reply of me saying "yes and yes" to a post where the word "imminent" was used by the guy. I should have understood that someone here was going to hang on to that word like a moth and that I can't just make quick replies here. So forget my response and you can mark the one below for future usage :
I think that CIG will make an annoucement about SQ42 at the citizencon.
I think that SQ42 will have a internal beta, not a public one.
I think that the start of the beta is close (end of the year, start of next year) > cool for you I give some date.
I think that CIG will present a playable demo to the press at some point before release and let them test the game by themselve.
It's not how big it is, it's how you use it .... apparently

To be honest, the whole point of the backtracking exercise was not to get at some kind of "gotcha" moment later on if your predictions fail (although that can also be fun in its own right!).
If you remember the conversation started around the discussion on CIG removing SQ42 from sale altogether. Your main argument to justify that it only meant a change in price was that SC would be released "imminently" and that it would be worth the (presumably increased) price tag.
But if all you really mean now is a "closed" beta (that no one can see) in perhaps around 6 to 7 months or a demo (which are dime a dozen for CIG) and now you do not even mention an actual release time frame at all, then your argument does not really hold much water. The reason for removing it from sale altogether must be pointing to something more significant than just a price change.
I think maybe Genuine Roberts may have reached his goal. SQ404 might just not only be the most expensive game never developed, it could possibly be the most expensive game that cannot be sold.
Either way, buy an Idris.

They don't have any choice about this. They absolutely have to do this. No question.
The problem is that they have form on announcements. Remember the utter farce a few years back, specifically regarding an impending Christmas release of SQ.
I also feel they also really need to show some actual live gameplay that can't be construde as being scripted. Much like NMS gave the controller to their host/journallist.
I hope that you're right about the rest. Although I wouldn't bet a dime on it. Sadly.
Given the multitude of unknowable unknowns on this project, it's record to date, and Robert's own track record on delivery, I feel that this unknown kinda gets just lost in the mists, along with the rest. Despite it being quite a big one. Besides, it's
And don't forget that we have always been at war with Eastasia.

Heh, indeed.
I personally think the removal of SQ42 from sale suggests more significant issues, such as legal or regulatory ones of some kind. I also think there is a chance CIG could settle those eventually in a relatively short time frame aswell. All is possible.
If the issues are of that nature, I would not be surprised if CIG decides to settle them in the way they are pros at: Releasing a crappy product of some kind (such as mediocre prologue episode), in "alpha" or some such to try and avoid reviews, along side AAA Hollywood star studded promotional material promising that future updates and missions are coming right up, so to try and extract premium prices for crap and dreams. Hey, after all they have been doing exactly that for over a decade, I am pretty sure they could also pull it off with SQ42.

Although i did get a chuckle from the idea that this a new thing, and not something that has been evident for years.
LOL, this guy...
First, ambition is easy. Look at Star Atlas for example, or Earth 2.
Second, what its pulled off to date, is a pale shadow of what was promised, and a buggy alpha limited in functionality is nothing to boast about, no matter how many polygons you have on the screen.

The people on Spectrum are all people who gave CIG money. Makes you think doesn't it?
I'm anticipating this to be the start of CIG going from "leading" to "chasing" the space sim genre. - Star Citizen Spectrum

Stop hiding CIG and respond? - Star Citizen Spectrum
Dear CIG. Many people around here (judging by the amount and contents of threads) are for pretty long time upset with the lack of feedback you give back. You communicate but only topics that are...

What a joke - Star Citizen Spectrum
Have you seen the new Inside Star Citizen? Joking and laughing about missing deadlines... They want to make things never done, and they say again that you can fail. Please for the love of god...

You totally can, and do. It's just that glancing opinions don't actually stack into a convincing argument. If you want to have an actual conversation, you need to do a bit more ¯\(ツ)/¯
(And if you don't want a conversation, you're just trolling
)
Ooh now! THAT is a point.... so let's do some conspiracy-crafting!!!
What if their contract with said AAA stars had some agreement(s) that (given the delay perhaps) they are now in breach of? Payment deadlines? Or 'time to use' clauses? Or not making that pixel green!

As wonderful as Bunnyman is, nothing, I repeat nothing, can beat the sheer unbelievable lunacy of Bagman.
Isn't that photo from citizen con from like 5 years ago?
This is beginning to feel like the Scientology meetings where they doctored the photo of the audience to make it appear there were like hundreds more people than there actually were.
Ooof, he played the Bunny Man card. Its a bold move, let's see if it pays off.
You forgot the blissful songs of money leaving wallets and the awe of breathing the same air Chris almighty.
