So we will finally see game reviews from major gaming sites? Not looking good CIG!
<<< That feeling you get when you research whether a quote is from a direct source, or second hand, and discover it’s a direct quote.
A large department is trying to figure out basic inventory management. Or in other words: Many people are sitting around idle, poking their noses.Given your outfit changes how you play... isn't this a feature?
It does not sound very complete
[EDIT: I guess in fairness, Chris may have signed off on the 'flip-flop my clothes out of the locker' tech. Now they are just making the flippy floppy assets... Just like in that Citcon in 2019, or whenever it was.]
There is some good news though...
So in fairness, that seems to be about adding ray tracing.
But equally in fairness: Maybe they should stop adding visual bells and whistles and finish the game

How dare you?!Clearly Golgot doesn't understand AAAAAAA game development!
Honestly, can anyone other than The Great Prophet Roberts TRULY understand AAAAAAA game development?

Ah, that is what Chris meant by "feature locked".
Out of idle curiosity…

I want the visual audio things!
Fridge thought:
Their financial lore states that CIG has enough reserves to see SC through to a "commercial release", even if other income drops out. The corollary to that is, should the income drop, they would have an obligation to push for a nominal release, no matter the feature list.

SC has been already commercially released, nominally or otherwise, though. It released in Early Access around 2016 according to CIG themselves. Star Citizen is sold as is. Since then CIG probably considers they have zero remaining further obligations since there is no legal, commercial or financial difference at all between early access release or regular release. The only difference is about the dev stated expectations about the quality of the product.

CIG's first obligation is to sell ships for as long as possible...
It's an obligation to themselves, and they take it very seriously
EDIT: That said, I'd imagine their intent to hit a MVP 'SC 1.0' by 2025, as mentioned around the place, is probably a legit internal aim. It just won't go to plan

Unless they want to sell future products. And that's why giving fossils like CIG money up front is especially bad. They don't aim to release any more games.
