One of the reasons that led to my decision to pledge SC, was the inclusion of SQ42 for no additional charge, and that CIG stipulated that failure to release this standalone by December 2015 was grounds for a refund.
I figured that if SC failed, I would at least get SQ42 and that should be worth the cost of my original pledge. After being promised that SQ42 would be the first order of priority, but now learning that not even one level has been completed despite having a payroll estimated at $35M per annum, I now even have to doubt I will receive this single player campaign.


Well I guess you learned your lesson.

1) Only buy finished products.
2) Don't crowd fund games
3) You are not a charity or a patron of the arts, let the devs get their financing the traditional way
4) If you must buy early access, consider it a short term experience because other than a few exceptions, EA games seem to get worse from time of purchase until time of release. Examples: Rust, Space Engineers

@Ungari

Why dont you go post threads like this on the Star Citizen forums instead on here. In reality nobody (expect for the forums members who are like you) in this forums cares since the game is still being made. I hope you know that every business has returns from customers.

My own ebay business has a 3-6% return on anything I sell and that falls within normal retail return rates.

And online business seems to have even lower return rates vs normal retails stores.

He's doing the one-man show because he was asked to leave at the official forum.

There are unofficial semi-popular ones and he could go there but he chose here where, like you said, nobody cares. Talking to a brick wall will accomplish the same thing.

I read this title and ask myself "how did someone opened a thread about the most transparent game dev team in history?"

They give about 3-4 hours of dev content per week. Do you even follow it all?

Answer is So Simple

"Join as a Member then post your Thread "
Takes a bit more for Threads to be locked and closed ( Mod Hint )

At this point, the thread has become more about the intentions of the Op and bickering too and fro rather than what was intended I am sure, I appreciate the Op and some others disappointment, we are all entitled to be disappointed, damn I once bought an XFX motherboard :oops: point has been made, time to close the door, I say this as a neutral as I have never played or had any involvement in the game..... thank you.

Ohhh and for the record..... I typed this before I saw the post above :)
