This latest saga started in March, when developer Roberts Space Industries admitted in a forum post that its current public roadmap for Squadron 42 development was 'not reflecting progress' that was being made on the game. Now, though, Star Citizen is facing apparent delays in planned updates to the system it uses to publicly track development updates. Backers also need to summon deep reserves of patience for Squadron 42, the single-player spinoff story that was first promised for a 2015 launch.
At this point, its backers, who have given over $306 million to the game's development, should be used to the seemingly endless series of delays for its final release (while clinging hopefully to a regularly updated but very incomplete alpha version).
