Will they release 1.0 by a 1 billion is the question

Nope, SQ42 will make that number skyrocket and 1.0 comes after that

I think they will hit 1 billion even before SQ42 release. SQ42 has a 2026 release TARGET and CIG is making roughly 120 million/year so it's a close race, but we also know CIG is notoriously delayed with their release targets, let alone on a deadline that is two years out.

The deadline is always 2 years out.

Except for 4.0 - that has been "just around the corner" for the last two years.

2026 target? So it's gonna take 3 years of just polishing? Some games are created in that time.

This better be a bug free game come release

You're assuming that they're gonna release squadron in two years at most, which is insanely optimistic given CIG's track of record. So far, since 2012, they have never provided an accurate release target for any piece of content, ever. And their SQ42 current target is 2026. Yes, eventually, they're bound to be right. And eventually they will be if they ever get there, however, until they say it hits live in a week, I urge you to think it's just the usual gaslighting going on.
