I'll eat a sock if this mess becomes anything even close to what you expect it to be. Considering the rumors that they've used up over 90% of the money last year already, I can't imagine what this company will become in a few years.

Really? How about a stable foundation for something like a permanent universe? How about a management that is capable and how about a serious, viable business model?
Instead the business model is the worse of the new lootbox-generation of games, the management is a highly questionable dictator with a terrible history of managing teams and his wife. The foundation never was properly stable for anything of the scale it is in now. Not even speaking about a functioning MMO. And of course there is no native support for VR there...it may come...like female characters...
I mean man, come on... The visions some people have of this game are so far away from justified, it has all the signs of a unhealthy cult.
Remember how the same kind of runaway imagination ended with the release of No Man’s Sky? If I were at CIG, I’d be really worried about the psychotic hate that could come my way when this all collapses, or just fails to meet the incredibly overblown expectations of fans, nurtured by CIG itself.
I'm sure they'll have some story for them moment when it fails. My bet is: Roberts will blame it on those investors he obviously started collecting now (if they don't remove him by then). And for the rest: yeah, some will be pissed. The rest will keep justifying. They've been doing it for years and many did grow up with it. I mean, this thing is going for a few years already.
