Shocking exactly 4 people on the planet, Squadron 42 might not make it's just-recently-confirmed-absolutely-rock-solid 2026 release date. 😂
Although I will say that at this point even laughing about it becomes difficult. It's been so many years, every joke has been made and every laugh has been had.

At this point, I’m just looking at all this as an interesting social experiment on sunk cost fallacy
I wonder how long they can go without delivering on anything
Carighan@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns...

Glacially is OVERstating how much and how quickly.
Especially compared to their original predictions.

well, they are drip feeding the content as they are still slowly actually adding more stuff to the game. I dont think they intend to scam anyone since they occasionally allow people to play the game for free and without that i would have been inclined to buy it many times now to see what kind of game it is (and would have felt scammed). Now i just keep waiting for them to add enough stuff for the game to be worth getting, but after hearing they might add somekind of p2w shop crap i think i might just forget about the whole thing if it really bad.
Its too bad if the game collapses at some point since it really has promise. I resent them for first fucking around with the money they were given and making it all seem like a scam even when there is potential for it to not be.

No one denies the game has promise. The problem is that it does not have much else. Having ideas is the easy part in game development.

We already know what happens with long term sunk cost fallacy. It is a scam.
