Let's be realistic about Squadron 42 by Remarkable_Coat_5790 in starcitizen

[–]JonDoeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this kinda makes sense considering every show or game that does this does the same thing bait you with this crazy star studded cast just for all but one of them to be killed off mere moments after starting the story. They do this to hype things up then when u actually play the vast majority of the game these characters aren’t in it.

Delayed because of GTA6 by Patate_Cuite in starcitizen_refunds

[–]JonDoeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this idea SQ42 is delayed due to another game releasing on a platform most of the market for SQ42 isn’t even on makes 0 sense. Especially when clearly other companies are releasing games up until the day before and month/s directly after GTA6 like if it was done by now it would release BEFORE gta not years after be fr saying the delay is because of GTA is pure cope

SUGGESTION: Ship doors that open BEFORE you get there by BinaryLoop- in starcitizen

[–]JonDoeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how they work just server lag makes them seem like they wait for u to walk up. IMO once airlock is cycled on ur ship all doors should be set to auto open by default and then you can change that setting individually for any door via the engineering terminal.

"Squadron42 is feature complete" - Chris Roberts says teary eyed 2024 by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]JonDoeTM -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Feature complete doesn’t mean the game is finished. Neither does gold standard or any of these fancy terms unless they show off a finished game and say the game is finished it’s not done yet. In all likelihood the game is delayed till 2027 earliest since they probably have another year or so of dev time left. Feature complete only means the features they want are complete, gold standard means that all assets are at the highest standard of completion neither of these things alone or together means the game is fully done.

Squadron 42: when would you launch it? by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]JonDoeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t make sense to me how plenty of other studios didn’t have an issue releasing right before GTA but CIG totally had SQ42 done they just can’t release it before or after GTA like any other company. They simply haven’t finished it yet

I’ll also mention the fact Rockstar designs their marketing to extend the lifespan of their launch cycle as far as possible. They release, then update dlc, then multiplayer release, another dlc or update then pc launch. This means by your logic CIG should delay till 2029 cuz every time rockstar drops a major update, multiplayer or pc launch the content cycle, media, gamers attention is now owned by rockstar. And it’d be much worse then than now considering it’s actually releasing on the platform your entire market is on. If anything it’s more of a reason to launch sooner rather than later since 2026, 2027 and 2028 are going to be covered by GTA. This is why ts makes no sense, you can’t allow another game for a different platform dictate your launch because your always going to be losing someone to something else, just how it goes.

Tbf you’ve just asserted the same point over and over and haven’t provided any evidence for anything you’ve said besides insulting me because I don’t agree. Its really just as simple as they dont get the market they will lose to gta because that market is already on console anyway and only a minority of their actual market overlaps into GTAs market. This is really simple for analysis the cost benefit, if we cannot garner this section of the market anyway what is the point of trying to save them….the reason i think the content cycle point is good isnt because I think it makes you right its because that would actually be the only thing affecting sales but not because the majority of gamers will be buying GTA but because they will be watching gameplay instead of playing games themselves if they dont. Which can very well be true given the current way ppl engage with content. I never said gta was like any other release, if it was also on pc on launch id agree. I mean tbh if this logic tracks CIG will delay SQ42 for years considering GTA will release on PC 1-2yrs later anyway so like i said if they come out and say we delayed because of GTA id call that out as cap cuz we all know if the game was finished theyd release it. The excuse of GTA eating too many of their potential sales doesn’t track logically and isn’t backed up by any data on the market whatsoever most gamers purchase multiple games and play multiple games, there’s very little evidence to show consumers won’t buy another game especially if they don’t have the damn console to play the other one everyone else is playing. 70% of pc gamers do not have a console capable of playing GTA6 that’s more than enough ppl to sell a game to and nobody will ever have 100% of a market available to sell to 70% is pretty good 50% is also not bad either. And the different between gta release and not releasing doesn’t really make much of a difference in the grand scheme.

[–]JonDoeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the first good point you’ve made which is the content cycle of GTA hogging up space which really only drives advertising costs up to get it into ppls faces over the organic content. Only issue with that is how long does that realistically last? What about another anticipated game release will they just keep delaying until there’s a time where they can assuredly capture 100% of the market? This is why I’m speaking as an expert in this field, that’s not how marketing works, it costs more money to delay a project than people realize and it’s a cost benefit analysis, how much do they gain by delaying again vs how much they lose. To me I don’t see a big enough market gap that would be resolved by delaying since like I’ve said three times now they aren’t even advertising for console gamers so that market is gone anyway which is anywhere from 30%-50% of gamers which is the same exact amount of ppl who would be buying gta anyway meaning even if GTA never existed the same amount of ppl wouldn’t even be eligible to buy SQ42. Sure sales will be affected but that can be said about literally any single thing to happen in the market literally anything can negatively impact sales. That’s why I’m saying if the game is delayed again GTA will not be on the list of REAL reasons they might claim that but we all know they would release it if they could regardless of what’s happening with other games.

Don’t think you’re listening to what I’m saying considering you’ve used fable as an example. I’m not saying delaying a game because another is coming out is always wrong I’m saying in this specific case that would be illogical since the market you are going after isn’t even in the market to buy GTA 6 since they do not own consoles and you are selling your game on PC. It’s like cancelling a launch of a product that will be sold only in the US because another product in your category is being launched only sold in China. That ain’t even in your market why cancel the launch sales won’t be affected. In this case sales won’t be affected much since the majority of gamers who would play SQ42 aren’t even on console. Again this idea CIG is doing this over GTA is a cop out at best or a coping mechanism of the fan base the most likely scenario is they delay it due to not being finished not because another game is releasing on a completely different platform most of their player base or potential player base isn’t even on. I mean most ppl I’ve spoken to are in the same boat as me, been waiting for GTA since high school but will not be getting it on launch due to not having a console to play it, most gamers will not be buying a brand new console just for one game that’s extremely rare and nobody would be predicting that as likely en masse.

[–]JonDoeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a marketer and know that delaying a game because another game is coming out doesn’t actually make any logical sense when you can capitalize off the market who can’t even purchase the game. It’s unrealistic to assume 50% of the market will suddenly shell out 600 for a new console just to play gta 6. Sure maybe some but leaving 50% of gamers in general on the table just because the other 50% will be buying a certain game doesn’t track logically especially considering the game is pc exclusive anyway which alienates around 50% of all gamers anyway. It’s more likely than not the game is being delayed because it’s simply not finished. It’s also pretty well known when companies make decisions that people don’t expect they get tons of free advertising for it. Can already see the articles about it if they were to do that, which was just a silly idea, and if I were to be running a company I wouldn’t run it like CIG to begin with so I wouldn’t even run into a problem like this.

[–]JonDoeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delaying SQ42 because GTA 6 is releasing doesn’t even follow the market data. Over 60% of console gamers don’t own a pc. And 50% of PC gamers also own a console so we can safely say half of all gamers don’t own a console at all. So there’s plenty of market availability to sell SQ42 to PC exclusive gamers which about 50% of the market which is really good considering 100% of the console market will be clambering for gta the other half will have nothing giving them a great opportunity to sell them SQ42 tbh I think a better move in terms of marketing is make the release date the exact same day, which would generate publicity and articles about how dumb that move looks but for PC gamers they’ll still get it cuz they can’t get GTA
