A few technical questions.

A few technical questions.
The first question is how much money, if it's not a secret, has been invested in this project.
I understand that this is an alpha test, I also understand and realize the complexity of the work done, as well as roughly understand the concept of your server system, but, as we have already noticed, there are quite major problems with the server, and due to the large number of applicants, players have to wait for 4 hours before getting in Into the game.

The second question is, wasn't it possible, with such support from famous studios, as well as their huge investments, to optimize the server operation (as well as potentially expand their numbers)?

As for the money look at the Series A Funding for Clockwork labs, it's all public information

okay... Second questions

this question is litterally what an alpha stage is for. this is for the community who want to help them get ready for their actual release.
once their actual release happens thats when you should start asking questions like this tbf

iirc, there's some sort of node based system and so the way they're handling traffic for the server rn is on one of those nodes, and they're just seeing what one can do when pushed to its limit. Something along those lines I'd need to go look at the dev explanations for how spacetime db works
