Squadron 42 was due for release in 2016, but seeing as how it has been four years of the goalposts constantly being moved on this topic, the masses are beginning to revolt. There's no shortage of threads on forums complaining about CIG's lack of transparency, which eventually resulted in the studio issuing a response. A response that basically laid out a roadmap…for a roadmap.

In fact, they’re being downright spicy about the whole thing as the legal tussle between the two companies become more heated.

I’m guessing they’re ready to wait a loooooooooooooooooong time before they go to court. Alongside being known as the team that developed Crysis, the game that burned a thousand GPU’s, Crytek is probably more known for their engine, named after the company itself. CryEngine has been used to create plenty of great games such as Prey (2017), Hunt: Showdown and …

Last week it was revealed that Star Citizen’s upcoming Citizencon would charge fans for the privilege of streaming the event, and many were unhappy. It’s not just a case of people on the internet being unhappy about things; previous streams from past events have been free. The response has been particularly vitriolic, with even long-standing Star Citizen fans angered by the $20 access fee. CIG has now backed down.

Opinions on Cloud Imperium Games’ Star Citizen generally fall into two camps. You have the loyal backers and defenders who’ve patiently waited for it to come out, who rush into forums and comments on articles to rubbish any claims of the game or its developers’ impropriety. Most everyone else thinks that the world’s most crowd-funded game is little more than a long con; a game so beleaguered by feature creep that it’ll either never come out or will fail to live up to its expectations when it does. It’s become increasingly difficult for those in the former camp to find fault with anything surrounding the game, thanks to confirmation biases and other bits of errors in inductive reasoning. A new change to the game’s economy has, however, riled some backers up.
