I'm convinced they made the game as a side project to their true goal of inventing dynamic server meshing.

We are talking about Chris "feature creep" Roberts here, though. The guy can't stop himself from retasking a team with yet another "immersive" thing they need to waste their time on.

So who knows. Could just be bad management, but I wouldn't put it past them to be doing this so they can license and sell the engine or something. That is, until other developers snipe their employees and use their knowledge to develop server meshing themselves.
