Even less reason to give them any money, then.
Lots of people being irreparably stupid is not a good argument for joining their ranks.
See all those numbers at the end? All that reiteration of things that already don't work, and which don't actually help create a working game? No, that's not significant technical progress — it's the very definition of running in place. Over and over and over and over again.
People join because they want to play what is there. Star Citizen offers something that people want. Otherwise both funding and activity would drop across the board. It only seems to increase. Which shows the Alpha constantly maturing and improving as the years go by.
Meshing is an iteration built on all the tech development's over the years in the same argument you make. Lots of tech runs on prerequisites. Doesn't mean it is less important, it is absolutely necessary. As explained in the Jump Point linked a few pages ago.
Each year had several tech accomplishments. It will be the same in 2020, 2021 and so on until the last hurdles are solved too.
Lol, and what does this translate to in terms of changes to the game world?
It's a matter of perspective. How did the large map or proc gen tech translate into the game world? You see the changes have a massive effect a few years down the line. All the changes on the network side will allow for meshing. It will just take time to translate as with anything in SC.
I want things now!!! That is easy to say. To accomplish them and to actively work towards them is something else.
I am curious to see how Dual Universe will end up being. They are working on similar tech challenges and are in a closed state from what I can gather.
