Again with your "promise" claim, which is false!

After they got funding they promised, repeatedly, that it would be out in 2016.

"Squadron 42, the single-player portion of Star Citizen, doesn't have a hard release date, but it was expected to be ready sometime this year. There's even a little “2016” over the “Answer the Call” logo on the Squadron 42 web page. However, that came into question when German site Gamestar reported that, in an interview at PAX West, Cloud Imperium Games boss Chris Roberts said the game probably wouldn't be out until mid-to-late 2017."

'Yeah, I can fix your car. I estimate about a week.'

...one year later.

'Well, I never promised!'

Yes, you're right, it's stronger than promise, it's "sold as".
