This is in large part down to the fact that so many additional features have been added to Squadron 42. Like Star Citizen, this project has seen numerous delays and its release date has been pushed back from 2014 numerous times. Set in the same persistent universe as the multiplayer title, it is now set to be a standalone product that will launch separately.

Squadron 42 was originally meant to be the singleplayer campaign to Star Citizen. The studio had apologized for delays to the revised roadmap but said that " because is still very much in development, we can’t share as much about it as would like." Some of the responses to the Cloud Imperium Games statement can be seen below, which shows how disillusioned some people have become with the project. Many posts reference the fact that the developer has seemingly announced a roadmap for when the official roadmap will be ready. Responses in a thread on the official subreddit for the games reveal that most players are upset about the lack of transparency and progress.

However, this excessive budget has not stopped a string of delays to the game, which was originally scheduled to launch in 2016. The project has also received outside investment in the region of $60 million. Through Cloud Imperium Games' own website, the developer continued to raise funds from backers and is now estimated to have crowdfunded more than $300 million. Although development initially began in 2010, Chris Roberts started a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 that raised some $2 million. Star Citizen is one of the most successful crowdfunding games of all time. According to the developer, the game will feature space trading and ship-to-ship combat in a persistent universe.
