Scope creep also knows nothing of Chris Roberts at the helm a crowd funding runaway train. At this point it's now suffering from Hubble's law of the expanding universe, rather than scope creep.

I think they are at last at a scope now that makes sense for a full release. They had to build a hundreds strong, multi-location production team before even getting up to full steam. Games with significantly less scope have taken much longer, without hurdles like that.

It's a double edged sword, because open development has been what drove the crowd funding to such incredible heights (they made 2 million in 48 hours this week, for a total funding so far of 167 million). But it is also the reason for so many people being negative about it's development. People get fatigued of it.
