It is pretty true. I'd imagine the originality might actually be sabotaging their chances for success. While the truly great works of art, literature, etc., tend to be pretty original (or just very high quality too ofc), there is a major risk in doing so. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to play something if it's not familiar enough to them. If they start playing and struggle with the premise, opening scenes, etc., they tend to bail on the game. If that happens too often, it becomes problematic to develop a following enough to make game development a career, which in turn leads to real life forcing developers to other things. A sad but decently common outcome for originality.There's a profoundly annoying thread running through Life at the moment. Anything and everything that is vaguely original, refreshing, sparkling even and anything offering a glimmer or even the slightest modicum of hope for a better time, a happier time, a more optimistic shift in the ever more wildly zigzagging pencil-thin pathway into the always uncertain, intensely foggy and indistinct future is being
FUCKING ABANDONED!!!!!

You need to tone it down with the originality. It can only get you so far.
This game was good for the introductions, but when it came time
to populate the world with actual events, not paw waw surprises, it caved in.

Thats a lot of Bullshit,if you are creative or passionate or both about something then you wont care how many people play your game,he was in for money and it didnt meet his greedy expectations.
Any update to this? Its been 3 years and the rtx 3070 now costs under 1k.
You really had something special going on and its a shame to leave it half done.
