You don't even know if what's holding back 3.0 is PG, and not netcode, physics, the cargo/trading mechanics, or the AI, or several of the big things 3.0 is meant to introduce.
Then you're ofc pretending 3.0 is just PG and if they had PG ready it should be released already... if that was what it was, or how it works.
And they did not hide the fact, that was a static planet on a simple heightmap, without physics, without rotation, demoed in-engine within a branch separate from the main game, and not even yet compatible with a multiplayer environment.
If someone saw that and said "it's almost finished"... They were delusional. O.o
When these videos get posted around as though they are an example of the game do people throw in the caveats or do they just let people think what they want to think?
When the press were showing off all of this post demo was there any disclaimer that these were simple static planets with a basic heightmap or did they just let people think this is what is currently being worked on?
Did CIG make it clear at the time of releasing this video?
Without that clarification it should come as no surprise that people will look at it and say "What's taking so long?"
Only delusional people would think such, it's as delusional as those people who take ANY little mention of a plan or possibility as a 100% confirmed feature.
It was only since the Homestead demo that they have admitted these things contain stuff created purely for demo purposes and are not representative of the actual work in house.
The first shown of PG, was indeed claimed as very early development of it, and you saw that what they shown was in-engine not in-game, something they shown right after the video demo running inside the engine, so I simply can't agree with you on that one. =/
You see their "WIP" (Work in Progress) hint/cue/indication in most of their videos/pictures/articles.
Have fun
It must have gotten too quite on these boards, so OP thought 'let's start another topic about something which has already been brought up and answered god knows how many times already,"
It's clear an answer isn't being looked for.
Person B "because it's under development."
Person A "why is something under development not released yet?"
Person B "Am I talking to one answering machine?"
I mean it's so obvious, nothing was canceled here; unless we want a dejavu of that silly Star Marine is cancelled thread.
They have been spending money and contracting out ship building ,INSTEAD of spending that time and money on the game.They would have to send over execs,meetings to set it all up and each time they have some new ship concept they want to sell.
So one would ask,is devoting time/money on ship building NEEDED at this point?Most certainly not,this is strictly donator's money poorly spent ,NOT developing the game but building more items for cash shop instead.
From where i come from,there is a big difference from cash shop and game design.What is the purpose of a GOAL,if you just keep adding more goals,how do you properly design a game like that if you have no "definitive" goal to reach.
It is like telling your supporters "ok we have this game we we build,no wait ,we have a new idea and again and again.
No investor in his right mind would invest in a project that has no definitive goal to reach and FINISH.The only reason an investor jumps on board is they see a get rich scam and want in on it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
See how easy it is to make that kind of meaningless statement,anyone can do it.

Of course the logical conclusion is that they are pretending to be developing a game, when they are just developing new ships. This is the "greater truth" that only the enlighten ones can see I suppose, for the rest, it's comedy.
Having played parts of the game that are available now, they don't have a very high bar as to what they will let people play, so what's the deal with PG worlds? Totally understandable that people ask that question.
One piece of tech as the PG Planets for who understands all that ties to them and all they are developing surrounding it, could not be isolated without pieces of tech they are currently working on be also ready to release, we're talking about zoning systems, streaming techs, physics (both gravity and planet rotation), and so forth.
As for the explorable version of it, wasn't a proper "hands-on", those type of dev demos they do at events; those are controlled environments where the demo itself is also controlled, even though media could have some level of interaction with it.
So let me see your functional rocket engine. Let me see the over-all blueprints. Show me videos of people actually working on a product. Let me fly around the mini non space version that you built and let your investors play with.
You get where I'm going with this?
Yea this is a picture of what im gonna make.
I'm gonna melt this metal down and make all this stuff.
