It's sad to see, though none too surprising - I know all too well how difficult it is pitching immersive sims! I will admit that I'm also very curious to see how they are planning to depict the coup with the Illuminati as hinted at during DXMD, but alas, seems like we'll have to wait quite some time for that... hopefully one day it'll move ahead!
Core Decay does have a long way to go still, especially at this scale of development, but I can say with 100% certainty that it'll keep moving forward :)
