Not even that really. They got series A funding in 2014. Releases this August. That’s less time than most Rockstar games.

Yeah, but they’re delivering something so far from what was promised to get funding, and from the bulk of their patents that DNF is a better comparison. They promised the world, photonics magic, and they’re delivering a strikingly sub-par HoloLens.
Correct. The 2.3B in funding (according to Crunchbase) was for something completely different.
You may notice that nearly half their funding was gained in the last year, well after the existence of their current product.
