Chris Roberts on SQ42: 'it will be done when it is done, and that will not be this year'

In a Letter from the Chairman published on Star Citizen Day, Chris Roberts directly addressed Squadron 42's status: the game would not release in 2020, and he declined to give any date — "the best answer I can give you is that it will be done when it is done." He acknowledged community frustration that the SQ42 roadmap had stopped being updated, said the team was in "close out" mode, and explained the new roadmap would show what teams are working on rather than dated deliverables, because CIG's estimates "can be wrong and often are."
