It's such a train wreck, and it must have been obvious to a lot of the people working on it that it was going to be a train wreck.

I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

Having worked with a bunch of egotistical rich folks (of which there are so many and you won't see them on the news), they see this as research. I used to believe in fighting to do the right thing, but they aren't going to have it. I see a trainwreck and rich CEO is going to push it no matter what. All I can do is brace for impact, ride the wave, keep people employed and take the money, all while knowing it will fail.

Heck, you see it all the time. The VR worlds, the tone-deaf games, the hardware nobody asked for, the shitty movies.
