    Locking themselves into CryEngine was a particularly bazinga poison pill for the game

    Like if they were absolutely dead set on an FPS engine, surely you’d try to licence something like PlanetSide 2’s engine

      The price a cult of personality pays is that whatever the cult of personality leader says is the cult’s law.

      Chris Roberts thought CryEngine looked epic. The “code whisperer” didn’t know its limitations and didn’t care. He told his underlings to make it work.

      PlanetSide 2’s engine

      Oof, I’d probably rather rebuild from an already existing engine (not CryEngine), which star citizen definitely had the money to do before it apparently just snorted it all. Elite Dangerous went backwards from starting with space shenanigans and gradually programming back to infantry scale stuff.
