Are you equating the theory of evolution to the theory of Star Citizen development - namely billions of years!
Obviously not, that would be a stupid comparison, with evolution you can expect a result every few million years.

Made an account here because this seems to be the biggest place to discuss SC that isn't Spectrum or the subreddit.
We still don't have the new roadmap?
So why should streamers get access to it?
Because as we have seen, streamers will slog through the bugs in order to produce footage of sufficient quality for their channel. Their videos, which in large part are the promotional wing of the project, won't really be affected by the problems with the ship in the way that general access will.
In other words, streamers are dishonest enough to try and hide any issues and that suits CIG's marketing just fine.
Spectrum is still overflowing with salt over the MSR.

MSR Controversy: Past Money Vs Future Money - Star Citizen Spectrum
I have mixed feelings about the MSR controversy. I can sympathise with CIG wanting to stress test the Expo rental function in the PTU over the weekend and this was a great way to encourage many...robertsspaceindustries.com

That's what the vast majority of streamers do for every game in alpha/beta... That's not only for CIG.In other words, streamers are dishonest enough to try and hide any issues and that suits CIG's marketing just fine.
I didn't see any streamers or content creators doing anything of the sort in the case of AC Valhalla when they had early access to the pre release build...far from it.That's what the vast majority of streamers do for every game in alpha/beta... That's not only for CIG.

Pre-release is not alpha/beta.
Generally, streamers with special access to alpha/beta sign an NDA and have to comply to certain rules edicted by the company. Not showing bugs of a game in development is a rather common clause.
Even founded by customers, the marketing département of CIG use the same tools that the gaming industry. Evocati are under NDA because their builds have more bugs than the normal PTU. They gave access to this build to streamers for the MSR, nothing abormal to make them not post those 'extra' bugs. If streamers want to post bugs, they can find a whole bunch of them in the PU.Generally, these games are funded by publishers. No customer is fleeced until those games are actually released. SC, on the other hand... (which, in and of itself, is an argument in favour of being as honest as possible -- from an ethical point of view, that is).
I don't agree that that is the case, but even if it were the fact that other people do the bad thing as well doesn't make it less bad.That's what the vast majority of streamers do for every game in alpha/beta... That's not only for CIG.
What do you mean or? We're in the middle of one, caused by those pesky humans.or the next Great Extinction event
....I just wait for Star Citizen to come true to their word, (until then I play other games. And maybe wonder a bit how people try to argue that while CIG have dropped features that were promised but for sure they will deliver everything else they have promised.).
Well, I guess I have to do the second part then, wondering how people defend those decisions. I'd prefer the first, but I am getting my money's worth of entertainment.IMHO this is not ever going to happen. They have promised too much and based on their performance to date are not able to deliver even a coherent MVP.
In other news, is it really true that SC will have unicorn cavalry to help players fight sand worms? I'm sure I read or dreamt that somewhere. Or maybe it's Pegasus class cavalry I was dreaming of.
Heed the call, buy a handwavium and live in your dreams. Gordon's ALIVE!!!!!
