It appears that they used the massive influx of capital they got from the hype pre-launch to continue building their vision that was entirely too big to deliver in any timely manner. They might be able to turn this around riding that into something that generates enough interest to continue to make plenty.

Putting it on sale on steam has it back at the top, which is actually kind of incredible considering the launch outrage.

The hype wasn't for nothing, people are craving the kind of game that was described before this launched. This is potentially Minecraft all over again.
