    That’s great and all, but I understand it’s still linear in nature. Talk about canning one of your greatest features.

    Anyway, hopefully the state of the world will remain in some semblance of stable until then / until I can buy it off discount.

    The first time I heard about Star Citizen and S42, I was a teen and wasn’t able to save up enough allowance to buy even the cheapest ship/the game.

    Now I’m looking to build a house with the love of my life.

    I’ll probably have grandkids by the time this actually comes out. I have zero interest left.

    They have to release it in 2026. It my arbitrary deadline for them. Then I give up hope.

    They have VCs at the helm rn, I think they might be mitigating some of the Robert micromanagement.

    Also fun fact - The original release date was 2017 btw for squadron 42. Lol.

    At this point, I believe Half-Life 3 will come out before Star Citizen Squadron 42 part.

      That would be the funniest thing ever.

      And I am much more interested in HL3 than SQ42 which is very likely to be flashy, but mediocre to bad in many core things.

      I don’t even need HL3 to be revolutionary, I want to know what happens next and I want to experience the world building of the HL reality.

    Will I finally get the single player portion of the pack-in game that came with my Radeon R9 280?

      I was gonna call this bullshit, but then I remembered that a buddy of mine sold me his GTX 770 for a good price. He got himself the new GTX 970 so he would be ready for the upcoming release.

    Ya but is it fun? Star Citizen is playable but like…last time I tried it, there wasn’t quite a gameplay loop yet.

      SC is supposed to be more of a “space life” sim, so it’s kinda like “do what you want.” The loop would basically consist of gaining reputation to do missions to earn money/rewards to buy ships so you can do other types of missions/content.

      The loop exists, but especially right now I wouldn’t trust anything that requires delivering a physical item. They just go poof lately…

      There are many different loops, though it is a sandbox game. The narrative story is being written at the moment if that’s what you’re after
