Imagine actually working on this game. What the hell is wrong with these developers?

I've never seen a single game make less progress at a slower speed while also been on sale. Who out there is deluding themselves into believing this will ever be released as a finished product?

There are game studios that have come into existence, had many commercial hits, and shut down in the time it's taken them to fail to make one game.
