Exactly that. I mean sure, it may visually be up there, and it may have an attention to detail to things like... people shuffling around in line at a cantina or whatever it was I heard about the other day. But that's window dressing. If they can't get the core technical (= stability, performance) and core gameplay (= is it fun) right, it's a flop. Of course, at this point they will never earn as much from sales of the finished product as they have already received and spent on development cost. It won't be the next GTA Online. At best it'll be as popular as games like Elite Dangerous (fishing in the same pond) or Eve Online, which have player bases that are middling at best compared to the games they're competing with budget- and scope-wise, like GTA or Cyberpunk. I mean Cyberpunk's launch was terrible as well because it too didn't get the basics right - crashes, poorly/slowly loading textures, etc.
