The problem is that S42 may be more an idea than a game. Yeah there are assets and contracts with actors but we dont know what he promised to pay them, how much work if any has been done to use these game assets to create battle scenarios and missions, if the script is done, if the script and story are bullocks. We know nothing other than that many backers paid the extra $15 to buy it. Knowing Robbers past history and the poor reputation he has among publishers and all game studios I wouldn't count on publishers to be chomping at the bit to buy into Robbers incomplete grossly mismanaged failing dream project.
If it was anywhere close to completion why wouldn't Robbers release it to get more attention for Star Citizen? If it was good there could be no better advertising. The fact that he doesnt say anything about S42 is probably a strong indicator that it's on the back burner, if not cancelled internally.
Why do I say mismanaged? Well if he has had to take loans and sell stock he in all likelyhood needs money. Obviously as Robbers said himself that if he needed money to complete SC he would push S42 to completion and use the sales revenue to fund ongoing work on SC. You dont see S42 though. A smart buisnessman would have prioritized at least a limited release to generate income and buzz but he has failed to take advantage of this. It's not as if he is unaware of the potential this release can have on support. It is more that they are far from completing S42.
Who knows? Perhaps he cannot afford to pay the actors the salaries he promised for their participation. Regardless for one reason or another he seemingly cannot deiver on any of his projects. This is nothing new for Chris Robbers, he left his last dream game project in shambles for Microsoft to sort out,. There will be no Microsoft bailout this time. Regardless if it is his original timeline or his multiple revised timelines, he simply cannot get this pig to fly.
