    I worked there for a while. Any time there’d be a viral trend of some sort (like battle royales, nfts), they’d wait about a year then stary a multi year project to jump on the trend. We always knew it was too late to start but we didn’t have any say in it. I expect they’re probably working on some sort of ai games now that will be ready after the ai bubble pops

      Do you think the original direction was deemed too much like Starfield? If this had just released as a competitor, it looked like it could have trounced it. I was so much more excited for this tech than what Starfield turned out to be.

          There are videos with prototype demos from years ago. I think it had a big procedurally generated planet, and outer space with seamless transition between them like No Man’s Sky.
