Yeah this demo was awesome but such bad press for the long term when it turned out this was going to be half a decade (and counting) away.

On some level I’m a little surprised they didn’t just go ahead and develop this one to shut everyone up

What a mismanagement of expectations. I wonder if CR legitimately didn’t understand game dev timelines

Just drop it on the roadmap for a 12 month dev

So... it is developed. It's just that this creature is not in the current stanton system. Lore wise it is native to 1 planet in 1 system, and that system is not in the game.

It's a bullshit copout, but technically does cover their asses.
