    They have outright lied about state of development and progress being done. I remember when CR himself said on citizencon stage that SQ42 demo had to be delayed for a few weeks due to some last minute animation issues that would ruin the first impression, but that other than that it was practically done. Then few weeks later they released a crying video about how much work it is and why it takes so long and asking for understanding.

    That was like in 2018 or 2019, and now 4 years later we still don’t have anything to show for it, even regarding sq42 alone. At one point it stops being incompetence, they are just full of shit most of the time.

      That might very well be. My take on everything I’ve seen so far is that it likely was ready. Just that CR or someone else said “wouldn’t it be cool if we also had X in there?” And then they just said fuck releasing, we need X in there! Then X lead to Y and along the way someone proposed A and that would be so cool but if we have A why not B and…

      If we had access to their Jira or whatever they use I can all but guarantee that the backlog grows faster than they can close issues.

      And it’s also undeniable that they are developing stuff. Just very questionable stuff at times and they decide to redo stuff all the time.
