The Escapist Article

I heard about this game on Forbes, and read an analysis about how the developers have been conducting negligent usage of money and the misspending of 85 million dollars. I came hoping to read more about this development as it seems that the company has gone out and begin threatening The Escapist with lawsuits, in the process making a huge legal mistake that they will not be able to defend if it happens to go to court. From what I've read The Escapist seems to have done proper reporting, and it seems at this point the developers are scrambling to do damage control. Could someone please add a section detailing all the events that have transpired? It seem to be a very important part and history about the development of this game. I hope that this page isn't being censured by the developers or the people that crowd funded the project. Thanks. 66.215.230.193 (talk) 07:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that the claims made are not verifiable, and constitute nothing more than rumors, it doesn't seem appropriate for the wiki page. The idea that low-level employees know the financial status of CIG is laughable at best (the only people with that information would be a select few at the highest level). Frankly, nothing of consequence has come from the article, and the community has mostly forgotten about it. It hasn't affected the development nor direction of the game, so I'm unsure how you'd class it as "very important". 121.215.138.175 (talk) 05:56, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia really shouldn't take a stance in personal vendettas carried out by frustrated "competitors" which is exactly what would be the case if this was even mentioned in the article unless a more credible source than the personally disgruntled Derek Smart can be found. 01:36, 24 February 2016 (UTC)2001:4DD0:FF00:9CAF:3142:7063:703F:710F (talk)
Derek Smart had nothing to do with the Escapist Article, nor was he cited as a source. That you are jumping to this conclusion here leads me to believe the Star Citizen fanbase did indeed have a strong role in creating/maintaining this article.73.138.37.85 (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit dispute with Ferret and Neutral2006 concerning contents of the whole article

Neutral2006 contests that the lede is inaccurate on several points, but the one particular example presented to me was the claim that the game is planned for Linux. Multiple reliable sources however back this up, even if a Linux version is not yet available, the game is still "upcoming". Neutral2006 provided this unreliable source regarding Linux. However, the source doesn't say Linux is cancelled or no longer planned, only that the delays relate to CryEngine and that there's continuing efforts to get it to work. Based on the sourcing available, even Neutral2006's own link, Linux should continue to be listed. -- ferret (talk) 16:05, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1) The release date should be changed from TBA 2016 to TBA as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Article_guidelines

Care should be taken in stating release dates. Many commercial gaming sites, such as GameSpot, IGN, and 1UP.com, supply accurate dates, as well as vendor sites such as Amazon.com or GameStop. For unreleased games, vendor sites should not be used as verifiable sources since their date is likely based on their best estimate of when the game is to be out; always look for corroborating statements from reliable sources to confirm these dates. If a general timeframe ("first quarter", "early") or even month is provided, include this before the year, but do not link these terms (see date formatting in the Manual of Style). Avoid the use of seasonal estimate release dates ("winter", "summer") as these have different meanings in different parts of the world (see WP:SEASON for more). If the game is announced but no release date is given, state this as "TBA"
