I agree with you in essence.. Having said that, it basically has nothing in common with the mid-90's code, either in details nor design. It's dysfunction is almost entirely modern by now. Essentially, while CryEngine was a detour and got us where we are more slowly, it's ended up basically where they were aiming for in the original start-from-scratch scenario. There is an argument that the more direct approach may have lead to less turnover and a more coherent engine. But IMO, the dysfunction is more likely the result of systemic problems at Amazon organizationally.
