Agree. I'm also distancing myself from the project, at least till this end of the year.
SC is great and all that, but I'm tired already of being the laughing stock of the game industry because CIG doesn't fucking learn their lesson of sharing ALL news, both good and bad, or because they hide info to the backers in order to "surprise" them later. Here's a social hint, CIG: Revealing some UNEXPECTED feature to the public = a real surprise. Hiding EXPECTED features (or SQ42 news) in order to show them later and say *"SURPRISEEE!" = stupidity.
Until we have more major mechanics avaliable once and for fucking all, and a DEFINITIVE SQ42 date, my wallet is permanently closed.
