The big picture: Star Citizen and its single-player component, Squadron 42, have faced repeated delays since Cloud Imperium Games first announced the ambitious space sandbox project nearly 13 years ago. Despite ongoing skepticism and accusations that the company's crowdfunding campaign is a scam, recent years have marked its most financially successful period.
