Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. ๐Ÿคท And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

I thought that they halted development on squadron 42. I will be curious of what comes out after 10 years at the very least

On the contrary, the last few years were pretty much fully focused on Squadron, with SC being maintained by (almost a) skeleton crew - hence the slow updates.

Now updates are seemingly picking up, though it's early to say for sure since we only got one quarterly patch so far, with next one probably targeting April-May (depending how porting some of new additions goes).

They didn't, they just had a big announcement on October that SQ42 is "feature complete" and that it's entering the polish phase which is why they moved devs back to SC. The remaining teams stay on SQ42 as so-called "strike teams" to polish and tweak tech.
