You have no idea of the scope of the game. Also it is technically is not even in Alpha yet....


The scope isn't really relevent if you are streaming in content it doesn't really matter how big the world is after a point. You will only see what you see and as long as they are smart will only sync what is happening around the client. So it doesn't really matter if the game world is 2km x 2km or 20000km x 20000km.

For example Outerra a project made by a dozen people with a game world which is earth (yes the entire thing) to scale

 

Or Infinity Quest for Earth which is an MMO with an entire galaxy of 200 billion star systems where you can fly to any planet and down into the atmosphere seamlessly.

The scope of a game is extremely relevent. The larger the world the more work there is to do the more it costs to make..... That is why games like Skyrim will never be the best looking games (without mods) as I said this game is pre-alpha and it does not look very bad at the point it is at now.
