Ah, I remember when I was a young boy and used my mom's credit card to pledge for squadron 42.
I'm exited by this news: Now that I'm retired, I will have all the time to play it!

I'm hoping to someday buy a computer that can run Squadron 42. Can Social Security help with that?

This is what, a particular game mode?
An entire single player campaign mode featuring the Star Citizen lore
Shouldn't that be standard/expected at the launch of a game?
No? There are lots of online only games that don't have any way to access their content in a single player mode.
That said, this was part of Star Citizen from the beginning, and if anyone ever told you otherwise they are mistaken. The "MMO" part was actually their first stretch goal, it was a single player campaign first.
Single player campaign
Nice maybe we’ll get to play it sometime in the next decade.
