When has it been truly alive, is it 10 or 15 years of development hell now?

You mean: "Is Beyond Good and Evil 2 dead?"

Apparently not: https://insider-gaming.com/exclusive-beyond-good-evil-2-surv...

The people that gave you that don’t make games anymore. Or they can’t. Or they’re not allowed.

If it came out now, it was going to be filled with busy work, loot, achievements, collectible, just a ton of nonsense to get you to play longer and longer even after the game stopped being fun.

Beyond good and evil 2 was never going to be the sequel that you wanted. The best it was going to be Space Assassin’s Creed.

Be glad you were there for the original and got to experience it.

Always was.
