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.

    I got no sympathy for anyone that is disappointed and continues to “pledge” to this “game”. I mean hell a few years ago they got me and I “pledged” $200 for a ship that I may or may not still have. but then afterwards I felt like a rube.

    So I get it, I fell for it once, but still no sympathy for anyone that continues to do so.

      I’m in a similar boat. Pledged but it’s been years since I gave them money and I’m not really following it closely anymore. Can’t say I ever felt like a rube though, backing a crowdfunded project is always a gamble to some degree, and that money was so long ago that any impact on my situation from having it or not has long since faded.

      I’m a little disappointed in the date potentially being pushed back, but it’s not like I marked it on my calendar or anything. If they had said nothing and the date just slipped by I probably wouldn’t even notice if no one else brought it up.

      I’ll play S42 if/when it comes out, and probably even enjoy it, but I’m not chomping at the bit.

      People continuing to give them additional money now are simply deranged though.
