Shoulda made a better vision eh
FWIW I think the visinon was great, they basically wanted to make a AAA Starbound with the Bethesda flavor.
Ironically enough they fell for the same trap that Chucklefish did a decade ago - the bland procedurally generated repetitive content ruined the feel of exploration. It doesn't help that even the handcrafted Bethesda content is shallow, soulless and predictably boring too.
In short, I think the idea was fine, it was just the execution that's lacking.
Bethesda in a nutshell.
