In my opinion people are playing the soft release.

"The game has been released for years" - Chris Roberts, 2019, probably.

"What do you mean a 1.0 release? We will soon be releasing 3.0!" - more or less what CR said to gamestar.de when asked about release in 2016/2017

Ahhhh... I remember the good times when doubting of a 2016 release of SQlude was considered as heresy.

 

[metatheurgist]

I remember when 2018 was the joke (impossible!) date for SC's release. It's officially past a joke.

I remember when SQ42 was almost complete and just needed polishing for release in 2014, then 2015, then 2016, then the great silence, only to discover they had nothing.

Oh that time when Ben Lenslock had played through every mission?... Great times...

 

[MTBFritz]

Star Citizen....not even a fully released games yet but so many great olden goldies and epic moments

It's easy to play through every mission when there are no missions.

Wait, there's a video for that

The great space game swindle,it’s worth every penny of other people’s money to watch this all play out. I guess Roberts thinking was fill everyone with fluff and hope it sorts itself out and whilst he’s waiting he’ll have lots of lovely money.

Gamestar is awfully unreflective of the whole thing.

Aahh - but can you lob your turtle into your fish tank and let it play with the giant space lobster?

You are Jordan Peterson and I claim my 5 Pounds!

Last FailureToReport video totally nails it:

 

[Zetta]

CIG has a vault of assets ready and waiting to be implemented - caverns, stations, landing zones, and so forth. Development is currently bottlenecked by the lack of server meshing. Once it's finished, CIG will be able to fill out the existing system with more detail without crashing their servers.

Magic patch on the way.

Thru that pipeline. Yay, give it a good pumping.

 

[Asp Explorer]

just how is server meshing going to help realise all these stockpiled assets?

I still wonder how hard it could have been to do a second system by now? They have QT, so is it much of a stretch to do Interstellar through the same kind of accelerated tunnel thingy that "The other game" uses and get people at least trading between systems?

Does this come down to persistence and tracking across instances, etc?

Well my take on this is that they didnt really utilize any procgen tech at all. The whole planet is handcrafted and consists of copy-paste textures, again placed by hand. Their "development pipeline" probably consists of a handfull of guys so they needed roughly 10-12 months for one
