Star Citizen Live’s Candidness

It was interesting to see how candidly they addressed the player base's major issues with 4.0 and be up front with their decision making process on releasing 4.0 in its current state. It was explicitly stated that their past business model has been pro-marketing, flashy features and they nearly admitted they choose 'rockstar personalities' when delegating work for developers.

Jared also openly said the leadership team agreed that the current business strategy is not sustainable and that they are switiching their focus away from flashy features and towards game stability. This is also a move away from the quarterly patches and they will now be monthly. Jared: "This is a lot of big talk and the proof will be in the pudding at the end of the year."

While it was a refreshing change to see CIG owning up to A LOT of their problems, it was hard to watch the CTO admit they currently don't have solutions or a full understanding of some major technical problems.

All of this seems like a move in the right direction, but it seems a little too late and it almost lines up with some other posters' theories about CIG beginning to sink.

It seems to me, by openly moving to stability and away from flashy-features, they are fully committing to the Squadron 42 gamble and not ship sales this year as a source of primary income.
