Every time Uncle Derek is blamed, I shall reply with "No, I am Smartacus".

But he gets blamed for everything, every day, even for all of Christ Roberts failures, so I can't do this. Sorry Uncle Derek. You're on your own.

by the way, send me a promotional copy of Line of Defense.

I fully agreed with Derek on this, they need to be able to say they shipped Star Citizen for when SQ42 drops, they are probably incredibly hosed off that they didn't have SQ42 as a separate package from the start. If SQ42 was separate they'd be able to call Star Citizen released right now and the EU 14 days for a refund clock would start, because SQ42 was included in most packages they can't start the clock. So I agree with him, the focus will be on getting a small part of SQ42 out the door asap to cover themselves legally everywhere, not just the EU.

Also they aren't going to imply it's shipped to anyone except those looking refunds, they aren't stupid, they'll continue to dangle carrots just out of reach, great stuff coming "soon". Once the "baby SQ42" is out though and "2 weeks" pass, all bets are off, they can do whatever they like and it's going to be a lot harder to get your money back. You can argue at that point you didn't receive what you paid for but most people aren't going to bother, even the EU refund situation in small claims moves from a sure win to a "maybe win". They've got a "baby PU" out now with 2.0 that doesn't have a single piece of persistence in it and the universe part of "PU" is 1 system, they can call poo poo whatever they like, 3 complete alien languages could be 6 lines of dialogue in the opening scene of SQ42.

They can't claim a pre-alpha is the finished product.

I agree, but I that's not what they're doing it for.

I think it's pretty clear they want to have their cake and eat it too:

1) It's just an alpha, don't criticize the bugs, other alpha's are buggy too.

2) An alpha represents a significant enough portion of the final product to deny refunds.

I think they're more worried about keeping the lights on than eventual court cases. I think the refunds /must/ be hurting them, and they are running low on cash as Derek said, otherwise they wouldn't be doing this.

On a side note I wonder how they are paying for the servers to run the PU. I'm assuming they're using something like AWS, and that each server requires some serious hardware. I work a lot with the platform and some base assumptions are that they're probably paying several hundred dollars for each 16 player server. Which means their server costs for this month could easily add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
