More than 10 years and not a single fully playable Squadron 42 mission. I mean S42 is not even an open world Space combat flight sim, it's a linear scripted space combat flight sim game, surely at least one or 2 missions are already fully playable by now. Also Chris said before that S42 was already feature complete just needed 'polish' and yet now another 2 years delay lol. I am a big fan of his classic Wing Commander Space Combat Flight Sim Games, and I do want a new Wing Commander Space Combat Flight Sim like game. But alas looking at S42, I have very little hope lol

We’ve chronicled the weird steps players have needed to take to get refunds from Star Citizen numerous times before, but now it looks like there’s a fresh wrinkle added to the already wrinkled bedsheets of the process if a Redditor’s account is to be believed.
According to FeralSquirrels, he received a response to his letter requesting a refund roughly a month ago that appeared to make similar remarks as another concession by CIG last July. What’s different this time around, though, is the fact that he is being told he has to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to receive his refund – a reveal that caught many gamers by surprise – along with choosing whether to keep his user status or be removed from the game entirely.
When seeking advice from other Redditors (as well as planning on getting a free legal consultation on the matter), some replies pointed out that using an NDA before receiving a refund may be against UK law and EU law. Further, a look through the refunds FAQ and its terms of service don’t mention an NDA requirement.
FeralSquirrels did point out that he isn’t signing anything before seeking counsel and that he has until November 8th to respond to CIG, so it’s possible that news of this added obstacle may unfurl further in the next few days.
Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund

Star Citizen Developer Stream Goes Horribly Off the Rails, Creating Further Distrust Among Players
A recent Star Citizen development stream went horribly wrong, resulting in some fans losing confidence in the long-awaited sci-fi game.
Earlier this month, the team at CIG decided to do a live stream showing off the current internal build of Star Citizen following player complaints over new content in the game. The developers heard players were having a bad time with this content and decided to do a stream of an internal build to paint a picture of the "intended" experience. Essentially, they were hoping it would show players that they're fixing issues and that this is a very temporary inconvenience... unfortunately, things went terribly wrong.
The developers kept running into bugs that showed the game is indeed broken. The developers had issues using their own weapons, swapping between their weapons, accessing their inventory, and much, much more. Eventually, the frustrations among the developers grew, and they started becoming passive-aggressive with each other before opting to just pull the plug on the stream altogether.
To add more fuel to the fire, one of the developers closed out the stream by saying they were proud of the work being done by the team and that they wanted to get this build out so players can have the "same experience" they had on stream... which just made fans feel like they lacked awareness of what happened during the broadcast. It's a brutal watch, and fans have been making fun of the entire experience and expressing amazement over the fact that the team didn't pull the VOD offline.
"Incredibly awkward, cringe, forced, slightly sinister feeling at times, and the local server gameplay was still terrible. No one was having fun here," said a comment under the stream. "Felt like a hostage video."
Overall, fan morale is quite low following this stream. Star Citizen has been in development has been in development for roughly 15 years and has raked in over $1 billion from fans to help fund the development. The game has been in early access since 2017, but there's no release date in sight. One would imagine the game would be done or very close to done with all of that time and money, but when major issues like this are popping up, it certainly feels like it's not close at all.

How do you have a game that is broken after so long and this many delays? I was interested in this just like I was EVE Online when they had the initial VR demo available for trial at some Best Buys. Never did see what happened with that nor did I ever follow up (probably my own fault on that because I wasn't much invested in Sony at the time).

I like to know how this still gets support where other games get shut down immediately.
