Man, you young folks must not have been around for E3, or all the various leaked E3 presentation builds of games over the years.
You can pull off some amazing looking stuff with just scripting the hell out of everything and only showing what you want people to see. Toss in some obviously unfinished stuff to make it all look more legit.
Gameplay “demos” that are not open to the public to mess with are just ad reel by another name.
I heard the same bullshit about a 2016 release of SC. It’s nothing but copium. It’s laughably easy to show “gameplay” of a prepared show demo, even if nothing of the actual game actually existed. Roberts has done this so many times already.
Yeah because Chris Roberts is so well known for reliable release dates
They played it live wasn’t perfect but a 2026 release is completely plausible
I’m sure its plausible, but I just have no faith left in them to stick to a date so would not be at all surprised to see it slip

Did those games you’re talking about take gamers money first, and then subsequently failed to release much of anything for the next thirteen years?
Kinda sorta not the same at all.
