Really? You have lots of experience with building game studios then. Which studios have you built? What are some of the projects they have completed?

Also if you think it "doesnt take that long" to build a functional company of several hundred people then your opinion isnt worth a damn cause you have no clue what you are talking about, and anyone with an ounce of business experience would say the same thing.

ETA: You arent wrong that the scope changed MASSIVELY from the original kickstarter. Originally it was just going to be a single player game and for a 2014 release that was somewhat reasonable (but still kinda aggressive). They DID change the scope, multiple times, and as recently as 3 years ago. Largely these changes in scope were driven by Chris Roberts, and largely he has been reined in since then when they hired his brother Erin, who has been helping Chris produce games since 1990 and knows how to hold Chris back.
