I just wanted to point out that I questioned the viability of making a MUD in this thread (and there were others) and now they cancelled it. It was about as useful making a MUD as it would have been to get a pencil and paper and write stuff down. All you can do with a MUD is text. Hell even the VoxElyria thing was cancelled. Really shows you they have no idea WTF they are doing.
When this "game" launches there is going to be a river of salt.

"classification of games into MMOs is not by rational reasoning" - nariusseldon
there were several reasons, but this final one was the tipping point:
here is what SpatialOS was doing/providing:
here is how SBS is now doing things:
i think we all agree this was a very key change/decision in not going with SpatialOS
the reasons have been explained clearly
the solution has been explained clearly
that folks are skeptical about it is normal - usual glass half-full/half-empty social dynamics where neither side will ever "convince" the other
what is amusing though is that many of those skeptical about SBS no longer using SpatialOS, were questioning SBS teaming up with SpatialOS in the first place and that it was a negative thing- now that SBS have dropped SpatialOS and come up with an alternative solution, the very same people are saying 'this is a negative thing'
SpatialOS was for sure one of the key foundations of the concept of devopment
the need to partner with SpatialOS has now been replaced with an explanation (read the actual post for more in depth details) and which programs etc they are going to use
since these are pre-existing programs they don't have to spend a lot of time writing code etc - will it delay the game some? - not sure - VoxElyria is still slated for April of this year - we shall have to see
