Skyrim actually runs in a VM. So it's already futuristic. And still crashes like a piece of crap written. I think the 2nd or 3rd STALKER (or all) run in VM as well and... crash and corrupt saves like crazy. And for those who don't get how it's related. A VM is "supposed" to be pretty damn crash-proof and "safer" much like functional languages. But that doesn't stop deadlines and bad coding practices from creating broken products.
