It could also explain why some people are so obsessed with graphics or excessive detail and won't touch something that might have been their dream game but has more reasonable and cost effective visuals or abstracts away certain tedious elements. Maybe their brains just can't paint over any gaps with imagination?

That makes a shocking amount in sense for being such a nonsensical take on how imagination works.

I wonder when this game(project?) is going to completely collapse. How many years can this possibly continue with no remotely finished product?

90 days tops

Yes, one just came out like two weeks ago with improved tutorial, next is in December. It has also been confirmed they have some big update in works for the next year (Q3/4, leaks say it's first-person walking and base building) and the current updates are pmuch maintenance mode.

Honestly, it's like we're not running a multinational effort to destroy a space game and we're just a bunch of old nerds taking the piss.

Have you no respect for your rank, sir? Have you no deference to the nearly tens of people involved in this effort?

I'm going to have to bring this up at the next quorum.
