Just look at it and tell me, isn't it really worth giving Dreams another chance?

Hey Sony, it's okay to admit the mistake and resume the development of Dreams for PS5 and maybe even a PC port. A gamble, sure, but the potential is the next Roblox, Minecraft, or even Metaverse machine, even if I hate that word. Maybe if you actually supported the next step with some of the same advertisement budgets, you give to much lesser products.. that would be nice ;-)
I've used most 3d tools and creative software suites over 20 years of working as a professional. And nothing comes close to the ingenuity of Dreams.

This is a bit awkward but if you're in a high up position (principal/lead/director/+) at a AAA studio or one of the big tech companies, and you've found my tech streams (+ open source code) useful could you reach out via DM, I could use a bit of help with something.

A personal message to the several hundred people who worked for 6 or 7 years on #AvatarFrontiersofPandora 👋
I'd been avoiding long, open-world games for a long time, but this game far exceeds my expectations. It's a real pleasure to explore the world of Eywa. Hats off to you.🎩
