>How did they do it
It's hard to believe, but it was stuck in exactly the same eternal feature creep development hell as Star Citizen for a looong while. It took Microsoft buying up the studio and imposing a real deadline for those idiots to sit the fuck down down and finish the game.
Star Citizen is history repeating itself, but this time without the chance of someone competent overruling Roberts and forcing the team to actually make anything.
