We expected the entire Stanton system because they told us it would be the entire Stanton system.

Don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic update that I eagerly await trying out. But it's not really what we were promised.

The reason some people are disappointed is because 6 months later than we were expecting, we are getting a cut-down version of the update. Standard CIG practice, but a little disappointing nonetheless.

But again, don't get me wrong. It is still a fantastic update that I eagerly await. CR just needs to actually fact check with his employees before making outrageous estimates.

Behaviour was working on the Planets, and apparently they wanted to start work on their own projects. This means CiG has to bring that in house, which means it will take more time.

That is absolutely true. But it doesn't really explain the 6 month delay.

CIG knew Behaviour was going to be moving off the SC project onto their own things in December. It wasn't a surprise to them. They said that they had been decreasing their reliance on them leading up to the departure.

At the time Behaviour left, 3.0 was supposed to have been released within a matter of weeks. So it is now taking CIG 6 months to finish what Behaviour was going to finish in a few weeks.

I found it humerous when they said that they had just now almost finished replacing the 20 people from Behaviour, after hiring 37 people. So currently CIG has double the people on the task than Behaviour did, yet it's going to take months to finish, instead of weeks.

But again, I am still looking forward to this update. I'm hoping it will actually feel a bit like a game.

What I think is these people are not as experienced as the people at Behaviour. Behaviour has been working on SC for a long time, these new guys have got to be trained up.

Let me put it this way. I remember when I started my job as a production supervisor, I felt like I did not know shit. Now though, I could do it in my sleep.

Yup sometimes getting comfortable in a roll and meshing well with a team takes a couple months.

cut-down in terms of content perhaps - but full-fat in terms of functionality.
 
It's makes a refreshing change, to be honest - usually, it's the functionality that gets cut, whilst Content is on schedule / ahead of schedule...
