Squadron 42, the singlepayer portion of Chris Roberts’ magnum opus MMO Star Citizen has disappeared from Cloud Imperium Games’ (CIG) pledge store a few weeks ago. And while CIG claims this has been done for a price change, I don’t know what to believe any more.
It’s important to remember, for example, that their Kickstarter promised 100 playable star systems at 6 million dollars. 12 years into development and scarcely credible six hundred million dollars later, they have… one. Incomplete, with miserable four disjointed gameplay loops.
Squadron 42 comes out of this much, much worse since it’s not an MMO. It’s a straightforward singlepayer campaign not dissimilar to, I imagine, Roberts’ Wing Commander. One that CIG’s own employees claimed to have played through the entirety of back in July 2016.
So. Where is Squadron 42?
Suckers
It’s maturing in the secret laboratory
