Yeah was about to say something similar.

What’s some special about this deadline?

This deadline was set once the money was coming in more slowly than it was going out.

prominently those in the QA department, as a part of its restructuring efforts.

That’s certainly one way to make sure you hit a deadline.

They just find pesky bugs, that need to be fixed. No bugs, no need to fix stuff.

As of now, Star Citizen has raised $769,261,551. Three quarters of a billion dollars.

And now they say they need to fire the QA department to “laser focus” to meet the deadlines of the release. That’s when you need QA the most. Otherwise that release is going to be a fucking mess.

I call bullshit. This is a money saving decision, which means they’ve blown through their $760 million dollar bank account. Insane.
