AoC Alpha 2 release before world economy collapses ?

Hey Guys,
I look forward to the release of AoC because lets face it there aren't many alternatives.
So I know starting the alpha 2 with current defined scope is years out. But if you listen to economists right now that aren't drinking the kool-aid, we are looking at a major economic downturn in the 1st quarter of 2023.
If that happens, there will be many people sitting at home with nothing to do.
If I was running a game company, I would start cutting Alpha 2 scope until I had something workable and I would do game resets why ? because what else are all us unemployed people going to do. If there is some contractual concern make it Alpha 1.5 and give Alpha 2.0 holders access to it.
Having something available when everyone wants to escape reality could drive a lot of revenue into AoC at a time when others are going belly up.
Just a thought to keep the light burning.

Maybe ... but what about the armchair developer knowledge being dropped on the very first day of the forums?
Casual player I see. Don't have time to spend real money if you're too busy spending fake money in AoC.
*taps on forehead*
See, the thing is... I was born in 1970... I invested my entire life savings in the stock market mid January of this year... it dropped 40%. Now I am told that markets don't pay attention to a single investor, but you could have fooled me!
Anyway, I am kind of stuck in the market, so I guess there will lots of people with time on their hands
Regarding Alpha 2 release date, I highly doubt they will change the scope before launch, unless it's something they basically feel it's going to take years to develop, which in turn the only system that feels quite revolutionary and difficult to develop is the core of the game.
Rocketman only cares about fending off the inevitable fishmen invasion. He is a true hero. A guardian of humanity.
nah, no one mentioned climate change.
I heard that usa companies and the gov are responsible for 40% of the environmental dmg. Why invade india, china and another 34 countries? Shut down usa, let only intrepid finish the game in order to avoid the end of the world before AoCs release.
