I honestly thought that HN of all places could appreciate the two big factors of this project:
A) It's a moonshot by an unproven company.
B) Software development is hard, it's two massive software projects, to say nothing of all the creative disciplines involved
I'm also surprised people here, in Venture Capital land, are worried over 500m being "wasted" to wages to produce the game, something that people can already play and have gotten returns for their money from. Maybe if we could be half as grass-roots down to earth individuals when evaluating startup ideas we wouldn't have a bright future in NFT powered Metaverse Real Estate salesmen knocking down our virtual doors.
