I don't see why you should be so down about this thread during CR's moment of triumph. Clearly things are full speed ahead and soon you'll have 3.0 this year and Squadron 42 will be released because open development surely would disclose whether or not it would come out as planned in 2016 and they wouldn't keep that disappointment waiting in the wings till the last minute because of "The Pledge" to treat all the backers as if we were publishers.
Then we notice CR's history with publishers, schedules, and how he treated anybody that put money into his projects. Oops. Still, everything works almost flawlessly on stage and there are three ship sales, so the next phase is just giving him what he wants so he can keep paying to have devs in crunch mode to create demos for shows.
Year six, that'll show all the naysayers! He's finally going to sweep into E3 with the next demo and be hailed a returning hero and given a key to the city and pronounced King of Hollywood by Mark Hamill in a ceremony attended only by the most loyal "Citizens" who pledged at least for "concierge" status. This of course will be a perfect time to announce more ship sales. Just at that moment when Wil Wheaton is tweeting asking to read the audiobook to his memoir, "Space Race: How My Vision Was Envisioned By Me, Chris Roberts"
I have a chart somewhere that proves games should be in development for at least eight years before the foundation of their networking is firmly established.
Anyway, the power of Wing Commander healed Ben Lesnick once. There's still time for the magic power of Chris Roberts to cure what ails us all! Personally, I'm hoping to lose lower back pain upon the release of Star Citizen.
