Can a development literate person enlighten me? Is CIG fancying up basic development milestones and goals by rehashing them as 'tech' to make it sound like they invented the wheel, hence the long development cycle?
I haven't a notion about development, but sometimes they are like 'We are currently working on hand held weapon system reloading tech' when describing the reloading of a weapon in game and it just strikes me as odd. Specifically their mention of 'physicalised water' tech or something like that, as if having moving water in a game is a new technology.
They're not really achieving any basic development milestones, and the technobabble is to distract people from that. Literally nothing in the game is "done", even if there's something there it's "placeholder", "tier 0" etc, which, like "alpha", is CIG's defense against criticism.
