What if the game sucks? The community flops? Or never comes out at all?
People are willing to pay this kind of money because it's a neglected genre. Nobody has done a decent game in this genre for 15 years and this is the man who practically invented it.

The closest comparisons are the X series and Eve Online. This looks to combine X, Eve, and first person exploration and other elements all together.
