Are We The Problem?

How many years ago do you think Squadran42 and Star Citizen 1.0 would have been released if CIG avoided open development... perhaps, 2022?

If CIG has enough funding to complete both projects then the fastest path to release is to shut down the live servers and execute without community input, scope creep, and distraction.

Would you be willing to lose access to live if it meant that both releases were accomplished sooner?
