Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

They've had a "basic world" for a long time at this point, unfortunately it still doesn't go beyond "tech demo" levels of development.

Squadron 42, their single player game set in this universe, is supposedly nearly completely finished and coming "SOON™".

If Squadron 42 actually releases it would mean Chris Roberts has finally managed to start and finish a project without a parent company ordering him or taking away the project from him.

What the defense squad doesn't get here, is that when people ask if it's done they are asking if Squadron 42 is done, and it's still not.
