Since you have been so open and honest, let's keep up the positivism and stay with what you agree with me on.
I'll just summarize all your other posts and save the excuses and reasons because nobody is really interested.
Ok, champ?
1. Things happen, change, or don't go as planned during software development.
2. There are ongoing, known issues on Live for as long as 6 months or more. Issues such as doors missing, doors not opening, constant crashes, elevators of death, etc etc.
3. There are new issues, such as with chat and FOIP.
4. FOIP was never intended to be fully implemented. It's a "first pass".
5. OCS is great and helps with FPS. However, it also was not fully implemented. OCS on client-side and not yet on server-side. (I actually know why, it's ok)
6. Internal QA passes broken features and half-implemented features.
7. Despite the Roadmaps spammed on this site, 3.3 didn't release in 3Q and is still in testing.
8. Despite the Roadmaps spammed on this site, many features will not make it in 3.3.
So my question for you is this:
Will you list all things 3.3 brings that is fully implemented and working to Live, like my thread title says?
I also want results, not excuses. If there's a problem, what is the solution? All I'm hearing is excuses. Solves nothing.
Finally, I'm tired of the namecalling and censorship surrounding Star Citizen. It just makes me want to be louder with my opinions and experiences with SC. You couldn't even have this discussion on the official forums. I'm sure Reddit is on lockdown by now. So...
6+ years and no game. Critics and defenders are ironically in agreement with this, yet come to entirely different conclusions. Critics are complaining that there's nothing close to a game, after all this time. People who defend the game say, "how can you bash the game? The game doesn't exist, yet!'".
If this were 2-3 years in, I'd have alot more sympathy for its defenders. 3-4 years, even. But 6+ years and barely in Alpha is limbo. This IS NOT how you make games. This is not even how you make software.
And I know the arguments... loadless transitions are lovely, but they are easily forgettable when you're playing. They're certainly no reason to hold up a game for YEARS.
Now... I don't think I am owed anything because of that. Just making the point that this game is LONG beyond projected development time. Can't imagine having dumped cash money into this game how pissed I would be...
My theory is... CR wasn't lying. I think he wanted to create the game as described. My theory is, HE HAS NO IDEA how to create the game he described, and he thought he could throw enough money at it to make it happen, and it didn't happen. And now he's stuck.
He loves podcasts and videos. Are there any videos of him being held accountable for this?
More importantly, will he respond with slogans, excuses, or solutions?
So yeah. If you go look at the early SC stretch goals, some of them are easy and reasonable, and some you could tell they had no earthly idea how they'd implement them, especially at reasonable cost.
CIG has to keep adding enough to keep the moneyball rolling now. Working elevators doesn't do that.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
Curious, how do you feel about the position of "stop your whining"? You've been following this conversation, what's you opinion?
FOIP is a useless non-priority in this stage in development. But, you'll be met with comments such as "FOIP is built as a module by a contractor that has no impact on development." This isn't entirely true, because there is still a time investment, bah, I'm not making a list, you get the idea.
But that's not the purpose of modules such as FOIP.
CIG will go bankrupt. Chris Roberts sells off all the convenient tech modules to other companies. Which is a lot easier to sell off than an entire company.
CIG needs to bring in a real son of a bitch to drive this home. Chris Roberts just isn't man enough to do it and needs to step aside for the sake of "his dream".
You don't have the reason here because you delusional expectations want to PTU to be what it is not, then you wonder why you get attacked and laughed off on the official forums by bringing these arguments there, of all that happens there that is abusive, this is not.
You go opt-in into the PTU, you play it, you do NOT contribute to the bug-fixing and polish phases, but you sure put the effort on building one entire hate rant based on an unfinished build to be finished up and polished before release of being just that.
I am very much glad the large majority of the backers I play and see around are not like you, from the "superfans" to the skeptical ones, the one thing they have in common is that they understand this process that simply works and have realistic expectations if they so want to contribute, unlike you unfortunately.
The PTU will be literally patched daily, as it usually is, and render this rant thread irrelevant. I sure would not WTF at this ridiculous thread of yours if you were making this about the LIVE RELEASE of 3.3 with the major issues of the PTU.
You are playing the PTU and you expect the build to be on the shape of the LIVE release, when it's not, you write up this rant. That's it in a nutshell.
It's because this I kinda defend the testing phase should entirely under NDA, so it keeps people like you from getting involved with the testing and first builds that are not yet on an acceptable releasable condition.
I will not bother to even go list everything that is there that may or may not need bug fixes or polish. You want the core feature-set that one is present here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/board/1-Star-Citizen
You want specifics, follow the patch notes of the PTU builds rolling out (likely later today).

Why are you dodging this? Grow a spine and stand by what you believe in for once. Answer the simple question.
Here, let me help:
1. OCS client-side
2. ?
For example, OCS is in, it's not fully finished neither bug-fixed, so you'll just have a go at that, if I mention FPS AI you'll likely have a go at bugs with it, and so forth. It's. Pointless.
That said, I'll just link up what it on the current PTU build in full: https://pastebin.com/raw/bH2zASC2
You know, we as a community on MMORPG.com have to endure yours and Shill #1's propaganda day in and day out. Roadmaps, pretty pictures and videos, 3.3 info, etc. But, after it comes out, it's proven to be a bust. You get all quiet. Why is that? You usually have so much to say.
I didn't want your pre-approved, prepared statement. I just wanted your opinion and you're terrified to give one for no reason.
Have you thought about running for public office one day? You'd be perfect.
Now you come with cheap hyperbole remarks, you just went full hater. Well, go have fun with that, I'll have fun with what is the current 3.3 PTU, as many other backers also are!
The PTU will continue getting its constant patches nuf said. That's all that matters, not your delusional entitlement that in a nutshell is expecting the stability and completion of the LIVE branch on the PTU branch.
