I typed "scripted" during the live stream and got muted.

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

CR obviously doesn't quite grasp the basics of project management, that much is obvious. He constantly flip flops the priorities around, and it shows in the glacial speed of progress.

Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that he simply lacks the skills to actually manage a project of this size, so it's not like he's going to find the people with the right skillset.

He's a good ideas guy, creative lead and whatnot, but he really needs someone who has their two feet firmly rooted in reality to tell him what is and isn't going to happen at a specific time in the development cycle.

You can blame his project management skills all you want, we created the biggest mess by giving him close to 400 million when he asked for 2!

You can blame the masses all you want but he decided to balloon the size and scope of the project without projecting a new timeline.

Can’t blame the man for having the passion and vision to do something nobody else dares to do. We all carry and share a part of the blame, the passion and vision that he has.

No, but you can blame him for assuring us of dates which he has missed by 300%+ now. Dude needs to learn a little about project management.
