Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It's basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I'm still not confident; waited too long for that.

Right after headlines of SC losing the faith of the community. lol
Also, Starfield has already launched. Not that I would even compare the two titles but Squadron 42 has still to prove its actual existence.

Thats part of it because everyone interested already doesn't like them and is getting this game for free. If it doesn't have legs outside of everyone who has effectively ore-ordered, its going to be a real issue for CIG

I essentially got Starfield for free (bought a laptop and it came with a code). For $0 it was worth every dollar spent, but I do feel bad for the people who pre-ordered.

I can't imagine why someone would pre-order a game like this one though, these devs don't exactly have a great track history. At least for the people who pre-ordered Starfield, we know Bethesda will at minimum deliver a game lol.

Wouldn't have happened to be the new Framework, was it? :D

[-] TehPers@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't be any other laptop :P

I mean yeah. Idk why people pre-ordered it, but they did, that's their whole funding. Now they owe a copy to all their "backers", and it's hard to see how releasing this game will bring in revenue. They are in a very big hole.
