"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
Back in April 2016 he actually mentioned a very specific eventual "commercial release" event for the project, as opposed to the "what is release anyways" narrative. It was during one of the 104TC where he started for the first time (I think) describing the MVP and mentioning that not all stretch goals would be available at said commercial release.
