It's not a game. It's a demo that's been given more money than any other game in the history of kickstarters, and it's been going on for over ten effing years.
Does it look cool? Absolutely. Am I totally 100% behind the idea for the game? Absolutely! Can you play the game right now in a way that all of your progress isn't erased? No. But you can BUY progress that will.
So that's what people do. They buy things to make progress in a universe that's possibly never going to be officially launched. In August they reported making over $600,000,000 to date. For a game that's never launched, or set a launch date, or put together a serious road map.
