Can I be the first to say:

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I guess the writing was on the wall considering the game has been in development hell for many years, but I still look back at the original announcement trailer and think about how cool this game could have been. It was essentially sold as Minecraft but better - with proper combat, better exploration, powerful dedicated modding tools, and more. It was to be created by the creators of probably the biggest Minecraft server ever, which meant they understood the ins and outs of the game and what it needed to improve.

What a shame. At least we got Vintage Story.

Mismanaged out of existence. Should have just released, got some funds flowing, dealt with complaints, and then fixed them as time went on.

Shouldn't have wasted all the time with a reboot of the engine, as that just further endangered them.
