I wish it had a traditional release date.
It does, but it's of the Duke Nukem Forever school of traditional.

So we can expect a 2022 release of Star Citizen? Hmm, they're doing better than I thought.

I'm on a domestic flight in New Zealand and I just saw a guy with a Star Citizen tshirt on. Couldn't tell if he was kiwi or not.

Was he mixing drinks, or handling the onboard movie selection?

So, looks like that guy received an answer from CIG legal department. I'll just quote the only paragraph that guy quotes inside the "twitlonger" post (I'll leave to you the pleasure of reading the entire thing): http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snct8k (EDIT: that link is dead, new one is: http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/08/interstellar-breach/comment-page-1/#comment-1624 ) "Your client's defamatory claims are entirely without merit and include unfounded allegations that the funds raised for the project were used improperly, even fraudulently. In this vain, your client is now asking for a "forensic accounting" to be made available to him. Firstly, there is obviously no legal basis for your client's request and your letter cites no such authority. Secondly, the ample information provided regularly on our extensive website, including monthly progress reports from each studio, published headcounts and the like, would enable any person familiar with the cost of game development to assess the proper spending of the funds raised. Your client claims to be such an experienced person, so we are a bit perplexed about this demand coming in particular from him. ... In sum, your client's allegations and demands are completely without basis and hereby rejected in their entirety." Now, of course SD is saying that he never lost a legal battle, that he'll destroy everything and everyone but I get the vague impression that he's gonna fall flat on his face with this one.

It is likely from an "attorney" in the sense that they paid an unemployed recent Tier 4 law school graduate 100 bucks to write it.

Just wait till first passengers on the first launch find themselves rendered outside of the ship and in the real space because they didn't work out the 32bit floats precision issues, like Roberts' crew did.

Ugh, both Roberts and Schafer were my favorite game industry names to drop back in the day. How the mighty have fallen.
Even Serek Dmart is laughing.

So, SD just posted his latest straight-to-the-point, absolutely not digressive rant about Star Citizen: http://www.dereksmart.org/2015/09/star-citizen-the-long-con/Among the other things (no, you won't get a tl;dr version ), he posted the full version of the letter he got from RSI, and, well, I'm not THAT sure it was a TRAMS move by him: http://imgur.com/a/sAFXW In the rant he posted, he defends himself about some of the "issues" brought up in the letter, such ass...err, as, the failed mail address, tax liens, bankruptcy etc.

I guess smart has bitten back at the CIG letter but in so doing I don't think he actually actively, uh, denied some of the things that CIG accused him of doing.
Confirm/deny? I mean, smart is obsessive enough to go to town on them on anything he thinks he could actively refute so what does it mean if he doesn't defend himself from that they noticed he never downloaded the game or whatever

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snh7pgI have had Serek Dmart on facebook for a few months. It's been a good few months. I can't read everything he produces, but it's just all amazing. This Star Citizen stuff he's unearthing is going to make me forgive him for everything he did in the 90s.

So, Smart only figured out back in July this was bullshit. Took him literally 22 months longer than me.
Isn't he supposed to be in mensa?

According to Smart they are almost out of money.
God...I hope so much that this is true. No offense to you suckers who gave them cash but man that would be so amusing.

I don't get this attitude. I hope that somehow they manage to make an amazing space combat sim despite all the soda jerking. Why wouldn't we hope for a good game? Not saying there's a decent chance it will happen, but wouldn't you rather play an awesome game than sit around and tear people down?
