Hmm, chances of 2.5 being made live to play during Gamescom in the coming 4 days....

Let's make that slim to none then shall we?

They haven't even been able to keep 2.4 stable, it's been crashing left and right. There's no way they're dumb enough to switch to a brand new untested build in the middle of a show.
Are they?
Are they?

Source(v3?) for this? Steam ep2 will just update from steamv1, too big risk to lose customer base, what about game libraries? Gaben is rich but not stupid
Edit: even if steamv2 was totally different approach, ala netflix with AV content being more of a thing (and weeks of free flies for new games, as a tryout, not much difference since they offer refunds), it would still be just same steam client, fragmentation doesn't work well... anyway sorry for OT)

Star Citizen is a work of art guys....

I'm getting some serious "Driv3r" vibes now with this.
*Edit* And just to remind folks...
That's the "scope" of CIG's/RSI's booth at Gamescom... I'll see if I can find the link that shows what the other developers' booths are like in terms of scale/size.

I can tell by your turn of phrase that you aren't a born resident of Her Majesty's isle - otherwise known as "not being British". Now this is in no way a bad thing, but Frontier are a British company and there are a lot of British commentors on this site.
What a lot of folks who aren't British don't realise is that we are a fantastically sarcastic nation. Sarcasm, irony, and pricking the balloon of pomposity is practically born in to most of us.
Success is good, just don't oversell yourself. Failure is also OK if you tried really hard and were honest about it.
However overselling yourself, if it's discovered, will bring down... well, a lot of snide comments and bad jokes.
I have a lot of friends from overseas. What really freaked them out was how brutal we can be to our friends, let alone to people who rub us up the wrong way. Hell, I told bad jokes at my father's funeral and was told that it was a good speech... by my mother among others. Work that one out.
So, we have a company that has legitimately aimed for the stars but in reality hasn't worked out how to smelt iron - and is still selling itself as NASA v2. Yeah, I can't see why a UK-hosted space sim-centric won't extract the urine mercilessly*, and, though I say so myself, stylishly.
* This might be sarcasm.

A lot of the time you're too honest and not repressed enough! When a waiter/waitress says "have a nice day" and mean it... well, we're lost.
EDIT: Then again I'm oldschool. Things have changed a bit but there's still the undercurrent of repression esp. outside the larger cities.
EDIT 2: And there are always conmen or sociopaths who don't conform to this. Otherwise known as "normal people" to many other nations.
EDIT 3: Well, plus the actual conmen & sociopaths.

Eskimo at the north pole? Need a boat?
Its good thing they arent spending their money on gamescom booth. Even if supposedly paid by intel.
(intel has way too many sponsored deals to give a crap towards game company that hasnt delivered full game in 4 years and has 0 previous games to give indication on the company's success.My guess is that 50% of the booth is paid by backer money)

Raised middle class Protestant (although religion not forced so was atheist by 13!) in a small town.
I managed to repress myself pretty dramatically.
[where is it]
But did get Elite on ZX Spectrum in 85 or 86 as an Xmas present so it wasn't all bad!
OK... so Star Citizen... Erm...
STAR CITIZEN: H-FUNS
You forgot Advanced
Next year they will issue the Extreme version - if the build fairies are gentle to them
Best Distended Shorts Simulator Evah?

The perfect example of this is the Brit reaction to David Blaine (known locally as the git-wizard) even our left-leaning newspapers are proud of how much grief we gave him whilst he was suspended in a box.

Star Citizen: So Interesting That People Would Rather Talk About Their Upbringing In A Religious Family And Buying Old School Elite Games Rather Than Star Citizen
For me personally, I was brought up in a religious family and became more so as I grew older
I lol'd
First day of Gamescom...slow news day
At least FDev had a teaser and then a pulled video with "leaked" content
