Default Re: Streamed downloads - MMO Style - and realistic building stages (showing construct

I love the idea and perhaps way down the road we can do something like this, but it will not be for the first release nor the first few expansions.

This takes a ton of work and a different sort of network coding (plus more), then add on top of that all of the artwork and it is just way more than we can do in a realistic (or quality) fashion.

Those games you mentioned had millions and millions of dollars and dozens and dozens of paid people (several dozen, even a few had 100+). We don't have that luxury, sadly.

It is a great idea and I hope we can do something like this in the future because it is indeed immersive. We just can not at this time.
