Agent_Karyo, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

Gary Oldman said squadron 42 was coming out next year

Mark Hamil said that something called “Squadron 54” was coming out soon, this was half a decade ago.

What does you having fun with friends in star citizen have to do with the discussion about it being a scam?

These things are unrelated.

There are companies with 50K employees with working delivery (no JPEG of an oil barrel) where the management was found to engage in fraud.

It’s not like the only type of scam possible is a day 1 rugpull.

I remember them announcing that SQ404 was entering a “polishing” phase in late 2023.

At that point and to this day, they failed to finalise a flight model, develop an armour/shield system and implement engineering gameplay.

Arguably these are critical elements for a release with space sim gameplay. Although if SQ404 does release, I think it will be 30 hours of Wing Commander The Movie level cut scenes (space bulldozer) and script, with bored sounding Hollywood actors counting the seconds till they can leave Chris Roberts’ mocap studio.

Inside Chris Roberts’ Mocap Studio:

Roberts: Hehehe. Hey, Mark! You know how I came up with the Vanduul? Hehe.

Hamil: No, how?

Roberts: Ehehe. Vandals to Vanduul! Get it? Hehehe. Pretty smart, right? Hehehe.

Hamil: Very original.

Roberts: Did you know the Vandals were a Germanic tribal grouping that raided the Roman Empire? Bet you didn’t know that! Hehehe.

Hamil: I am in awe of your creativy!

Roberts: I know, right! Hehehe.

Ok Mark, enough farting around. Pretend you are riding a space bulldozer!

Love that euro-trance track, very authentic.

Funny to see the 2000s starting to get defined in the mass consciousness.

Agent_Karyo, do games w Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

Can’t speak for competition in consoles, but parts costs have radically increased, particularly GPUs (and it’s getting much more difficult to have generational leaps in graphics quality).

You’ll need to specify what genres and game styles you like.

If the game is formally released, it is reasonable to provide refunds (irrespective of purchase date) for cash shop items that don’t exist or don’t work.

There are also contractual issue to consider. Their investors have a “one-sided” put option in 2028 that might force them to “release” SC even if 80% of the marketed gameplay doesn’t exist and large number of cash items are de facto non-functional.

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, but if SC is actually released, it is only fair to provide a no questions asked refund policy for JPEGs and non-functional cash shop items. Is it not?

At any rate, this discussion is moot, because SC is not released as BlameTheAntifa claims. The overwhelming majority of marketed gameplay, content simply doesn’t exist and a large part of the cash items are either broken or borderline non-functional.

Yes, the release date is N + 2 years. With N being the current year.

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

So if it is released, would it be fair to allow “no question asked” refunds on all cash shop items that are in still in JPEG form or de facto don’t work?

“It allows us to do things without imposing the framework of a typical video game studio,” Chris Roberts said in an interview with La Presse from his home in Los Angeles. “The players who fund us expect the best game, period. We don’t have to streamline, cut jobs, or change our business model.”

This is false. I am honestly surprised about the cavalier attitude with the truth.

Agent_Karyo, do games w Let's Build a Dungeon, [an MMORPG management game], sounds like such a fun idea as it hits 140,000 Steam wishlists
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

Not the dev, just a tycoon/management games fan. An MMORPG management game sounds like a lot of fun.

There is also MMORPG Tycoon 2 (that’s in 3D), but development has a strange cadence.
