Most of the work is done and they are aiming to release next year, at this point I'd be surprised if it doesn't get done.
In any case, this is a project that a lot of people have been working on, for free, for over a decade, I wouldn't tell them it will look like crap even if I really thought so.
I'd argue that the best part of the game is the pirate questline. You get to pick between being a double agent, gathering evidence and sabotaging their plans, or an evil pirate that fights the law and only cares about themselves.
I think the issue is that they still have their developers write their own quests rather than hiring a team of dedicated writers like other studios do nowadays.
The games will never be narratively coherent when everyone is pulling in a different direction.
Yeah, I bet that nobody buying a game that they know nothing about is caused by it's diverse cast. It has nothing to do with it being an Overwatch rip-off with terrible marketing.
Thanks for clarifying, looks like they are coming up with acronyms in their echo chamber.
