Lol this game..I used to follow it pretty closely, but now it just got old. When I backed it I was 25, now I'm 30 and this game is nowhere close to being released. By the time it is I will probably have lost most of the interest in playing it.
Over the years I was tempted to pledge more beyond the original $35 package for some fancy ship, decided not to. Seems like that was a good choice.

Hehe, maybe it's the fault of the backers for giving them way too much money 
| Quote: | Mark Kerns, a Chicago web designer, donated $175 to the cause. For that, he received privileges to the alpha, plus a ship to use in the game. For him, this (plus having a front row seat to the development process) was worth his money.
“Of course I have reservations about whether or not Cloud Imperium Games can meet their goals,” Kerns said. “[but] after a few updates and patches, I considered my pledge money well spent and anything else that came from the game was a bonus.” |

If you have some kids now, they may be old enough to play it when it comes out.

As it stands now, there is no definite or vague release date set. While this might be somewhat worrying for investors, Roberts has been very open with the development progress through his website. The game is currently in alpha, which is available to investors, and for some, this is enough for the money that they have put into the project. |

Star Citizen is likely in financial trouble
| Quote: | CIG, the creators of Star Citizen, a game that has pulled in $150 million in crowdfunding, many times the original goal of $6 million, has applied for additional loan funding from a bank, in return offering up literally everything they own as collateral - the Star Citizen IP, all assets, all code, distribution rights and so on. From the attached PDF:
24. LICENCE
24.1 The Chargee, ( bank ), hereby grants to the Chargor , ( CIG ), an exclusive license, revocable only in accordnance with Clause 24.2, to develop, produce, exploit and otherwise deal with the Game.
24.2 The Chargee, ( bank ), may terminate the license granted pursuant to Clause 24.1 above upon the happening of an Event of Default which remains unremedied on the date failing 60 days after the the Chargee has given written notice to the Chargor of such Event of Default.
TL;DR
The bank now own the game and provide a license to CIG to continue developing, if they miss a payment, all the backers get screwed.
They can't apply for any additional loans or funding because they have nothing to offer - all their assets have a negative pledge clause. |

Lol FFS. Although I guess that is hardly surprising, given how things have been going. I'm really kicking myself that I didn't sell my pledge around a year after the KS though. At this point I'd just settle for my $50 back, but I doubt I will ever see that again. Must suck to be one of those whales that blew thousands on dollars on it.

The article means nothing except for maybe how financials are handled.
The game is going to be released at some point, I don't know if the game will be any good however.

Pretty sure Coutts wouldn't give them a loan if they have "no money". I'm not going to pretend I understand finance enough, but I know taking out a loan for a company is not always because they are in trouble. They could be taking out a loan so they have the money now to purchase something without spending a large chunk of their cash on it.
A better indicator of them actually in financial trouble is when they auction their assets to others, like Shroud of the Avatar.

Hmm seems even the fanboys have given up, well i'll do it for them:
The game is coming guys!! stop hating this is the price to bring something truly next level in gaming. Financial news just like the engine change 4-5 years into development is really no big deal. Chris knows what he is doing, great game is coming just on the horizon.

It's a rather strange move... that being said those particular bank cunts are rather thorough and don't give loans to lesser beings. So the spaceship picture sales must still do well enough.

Yeah, they're all indoctrinated. It's pathetic.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

I am not sure about this loan thing, their explanation sounds reasonable though.
Can someone tell me what you actually can do today if you had pledged some money, let's say 60$ to Kickstarter? I mean, what can you play/do? Today?
Secondly, is there a SQ42 release date? People are saying 2017?

They won't release SQ42 until its 100% finished.
So any tech that hasn't been finished yet would hold back the SQ42 release even if other parts of the game is finished.

That doesn't make sense. Why would the multiplayer-related tech be a blocker for the single player campaign? This shit is the most disappointing about this scamstarter.

Does SQ42 have planet landings and FPS combat? I thought it was a Wing Commander-style campaign in space. They are retarded, if they are so ambitious.
