Yep, I tried to get my key, and no dice. I have to wait until they sort this clusterfuck out.

Most of his complaints are pretty dumb tbh. The only thing I agree with is that melee combat sucks. I'm playing the Beta now, and overall it's pretty great.

A current example is Atomic Heart, where you have to use the b/w scan ability to pick out loot in the environment. It's damn pretty though.
I agree it's an issue with some games. I'm not having any problems making things out here though. Some rooms are kind of dark, but you get a flashlight at the start of the second level.
Biggest issue is the AI. It's pretty dumb most of the time. Enemies don't react to sound even if they're right around the corner.
I guess it has been updated for "a modern audience"?

Can you drop items on the floor and get them back later?

What's the deadline for announcing the next release delay? It's already March 7th.

Based on the issues that people are encountering in the backer beta, I suspect they're going to take a while collecting feedback from that and fixing the issues. Some of them are pretty severe, in the "Cannot possibly finish the game under multiple conditions including just sheer bad luck" sense.

don't expect the game to hit gold status for at least another two months

Seems pretty mild, I was more in a "at least another two years" mindset.

Ok, I won't be pissed off at SS1 being delayed to 2040 because I would've been waiting 20 years already by then
And I′ve been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can this shit game finally come out so that its inevitable financial disaster can be rubbed into Stephen's stupid mug?

I have completed the beta. It's okay.
Current state of the game, based on the beta, is:
It's buggy. Certain difficulties make the game actually impossible, like Cyberspace 3 kills you every time you leave cyberspace (It's not supposed to), which is impossible to complete the game as a result. Puzzle 3 crashes the game entirely every time you do a wire puzzle. Lots of people reporting they fall through the map when doing level transitions. I had the game lock up every time I tried to transition to the final level until I got lucky and it worked once, can't replicate how though. Cyberspace powerups don't work and you lose them all on leaving every time, making it impossible to pass under certain circumstances. They've been informed of these and have been fixing them, we've had one patch so far.
It's unfinished. No big surprise there, but there's some pretty big omissions like an entire cyberspace section with no enemies, and what I hope is a placeholder final cyberspace segment because if they take that to the final release it'll be a fucking shitshow, it's utter garbage. Some augments don't work, some models are unfinished.
It needs balance work. Some enemies that should be really tough and dangerous are pushovers, meanwhile a common security-1 bot is the most dangerous thing in the game because it'll hit you the moment a pixel of your body is visible to it. Melee feels weightless and bad.
All that said, it's an okay adaptation. They changed a few things here or there but none of it is really offensive (except the groves, where they paved paradise), and it generally makes sense. The guns are done well and are meaty and for the most part each has a clear role in the arsenal with little overlap. The first two thirds of the game are good and enjoyable, most of the last third is good with a few issues like the empty cyberspace segment, then the last cyberspace segment is so bad it retroactively soured it for me. They really need to change it.
It's a beta, and it's clearly a beta-beta and not a "finished-product-that-we-call-a-beta". If they take the time to finish it properly it can come good. If they push it out the door in a couple of weeks to meet some release target, it'll stay forever rough.

When they said "march" they didn't specify which year, I think.
I can't wait to be right about everything, again.
