So you don't undestand him? What he means is, that you guys say it's an open world Game. But it isn't really! The Islands that can spawn are limited to a number. What he means is, that the whole world needs to be endless(open). So when you sail with a ship to an end point there will be new islands created by the engine so that ressources will never end. Like in minecraft. That's open world. Can you tell me, if the animals and ores are respawning? Otherwise the game has an end, because 12 islands with no new animals or new ore veins means an end of ressources.
