entropicdrift comments on 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'

The bigger context of that quote is basically that they're heads down and preparing for crunch. The person who said, "I don't know if we're going to make it" also said "but we're doing everything we can to make it happen" (this is my paraphrase, I don't know if I got the exact wording)

The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.

And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.

The 12 years of release date slippage makes people extra wary about any qualifiers or maybes that the devs add, regardless of context.

Sure, that's true. I was a year 1 backer, just after the initial Kickstarter ended, so I guess to me that part of the context kind of spoke for itself. Thanks for highlighting it, I honestly do appreciate it.

I know some of the SC story from knudsens channel, but somehow it never really hit me that they are developing a spin-off of a game that hasnt even released yet
