I backed the original Kickstarter in 2014. SQ42 has been “nearly ready” for years now. I’m not at all surprised SQ42 and Star Citizen are covered in suspicion and doubt, given how much time Roberts is willing to waste making sure people have to eat and drink and reworking ships and game mechanics, while getting sucked out of your ship when you warp and being unable to refuel/rearm remained problems for years. Hell I bet they still are.
The game was supposed to be something we could play on our own terms, not a wide open griefer fest like it is now.

No release in sight? Squadron 42 is preparing for publishing and in polish stage, as mentioned in article
Sure Jan
Oh for the 5th year in a row? Alright, I’ll believe that when I see it.
Was only recently announced but sure
I better be able to see my past reflected in that shine!
You cannot be serious right now.
That’s a small fraction of the promised final game.

I dunno I stopped waiting, I don’t care anymore.
Lower development costs and faster to develop than GTA 6 so far, with more to show for it. Don’t give up hope
They said about 2016, too.
