What is Half a Billion $ anyway?
You could do a lot with all that money. Buy a yacht, a mansion, all sorts of things. Apparently what half a billion isn't capable of getting you is a computer game.
Prevent repeating SQ42 2016 - Star Citizen Spectrum
We should have some metric to judge whether CIG falls into the same pitfall as 2016 with regard to redoing a lot of SQ42. Last time we had no idea. So around came another answer the call, another...

Suspect this will be locked as soon as Nightrider wakes up. Can't go asking questions about SQ42 or calling for CIG to be held accountable!
Seems like a few people are asking about SQ42 recently... and bringing up awkward facts.

During CitizenCon in 2016, Chris told us that the game was basically finished but needed a little more polishing. In 2020, the same thing. The game was in close out mode but needed a little more...

Wow, it barely took almost a decade of delays and half a billion paid in without a product for people start asking the tough questions!Prevent repeating SQ42 2016 - Star Citizen Spectrum

I can tell you what it's not:
- The sum of all CIG's bank accounts' credit balance
- The net value of the IP
- A proof of the project's qualities
- Enough, and no matter by how much you multiply it it won't be, sadly
Didn't CR sell the IP to CIG for a cool 5 million or something? Straight into his own bank account.
From a 500k Kickstarter to a 500m pledging.
Thisgame alpha is at least 1000 times better than when they started!
Oh wait ....
This
Oh wait ....
Just look at what they said they could deliver for 6 million. And to date, with close to 100x that amount, they still haven't delivered content to match that.
I think this says it all about how well the project is aging

:Its also fun to go and read the comments on the kickstarter page:
Sad and funny at the same time.
Wish you could sort comments by date order, would love to go back and read some of the early ones. Unfortunately you can only expand comments from the newest, meaning it would require thousands of clicks to get back to the oldest comments.

Well, obviously they would now ship it on a spaceship shaped USB pen drive!
Actually, their 6 million goal for creating the game is now roughly equal to CIG's burn rate for a month or two. By their own calculations they could be shipping a SC like game at the level of the original goal every couple of months, along with a SQ42 like single player game!
Also fun to go back through the RSI stretch goals as well.
SQ42 still SQ404
Only 100k for each new star system? Wow! That's like CIG's operational expenses for 1 day. Just waiting for those pipelines to be finished and the content floodgates will open wide!
Same stretch goal...
LOL
Yeah, that hasn't happened yet.
Depreciated due to 30Ks.
How's that going?
Ah, CIG's old nemesis, salvage.
Amazing, and people kept buying BMMs, they literally got millions from additional sales of it, yet 9 years later, still not released. One of the things i love about the scamminess of this project. Ships were alledgedly funded through the stretch goals, yet CIG then had the gall to additionally sell those ships to backers, despite them already being paid for.
Remember how CIG said 100k per system? By the 36 million stretch goal its now 1 million for a new system! They did a string of ships for 1 million each, then a string of systems for 1 million each.
So these two only cost 500k each??
Its in the 40 million region they start to get really silly with the goals, just throwing random stuff in for a million a pop. Its not like they ever did some sort of analysis of what they were offering for each goal though anyway. Nobody was saying "Ok, to do this it will require X amount of dollars", they just made it up as they went along.
Give CIG 1 million, they will give you some virtual cash in return!
And lest we forget...
And then at 65 million, 8 year ago, it stops. I guess it was at this point CIG realized it didn't matter what they promised, that backers would keep giving them more and more money anyway, especially if they were buying spaceships, so the goals stop. Didn't stop CR on video promising more and more stuff every time he appeared, especially with 10FtC where he effectively said yes to every single question.

They should have popped over here from around thread 4 or 5.... ....they wouldn't have been quite so surprised. It's interesting that many of their posts and the tone wouldn't be out of place here.Prevent repeating SQ42 2016 - Star Citizen Spectrum

It seems 'most illogical captain' that, with ten years of evidence, anyone still believes in this project.
One minor point of hilarity.... did I read that Criminally Incompetent Gamers ltd need to build a new mo-cap studio........ whaaaaaaaaat? Is this not their third one??
It depends when his MV docks from international waters.....
All town hall meetings now take place in the Concierge 'Million Mile High' club.
