Not to mention the amount of money they literally burn through EGS. If I remember correctly, the plan was that it wouldn't be profitable for another 3/4 years (by 2027).

Most devs never would have made their own proprietary engines. With ready availability of engines to use, the number of developers skyrocketed as it lowered the bar of who can make a game.
It could be worse. They could have looked towards Autodesk for inspiration.
As neat as it would be, I don't think they could do it justice. Is the Thief IP really that valuable that a person couldn't just make a generic dark fantasy game about being a thief?
What's the point of rehabilitation if you just arbitrarily decide that people aren't worth it?
I'm fairly certain it's been the same number of hoops to get there. Same with actually trying to buy it specifically.
But yeah, its so sequestered away that honestly, I'd probably just outright pirate it if it wasn't for the fact that it's readily available on release and I'm familiar with the methodology of it.
I believe it's just a depiction of it. Looking around some other similar pictures, there were some images where it showed all "space debris" larger than 1cm as like a white dot. So, it's not quite the level of fields of metal floating around out there.
Amazon's Music service, while it takes some hoops to jump through, actually does let you download music. Though I don't know if that's a general policy or on a per music/per artist basis.
That's seldom the case on sites like PornHub these days.
I personally disagree with New Vegas as the best Bethesda game. The qualities that people like the most about Bethesda, namely the open world and getting lost in it vibe, is least present in New Vegas.
Yeah, but let's be real here, it would totally be just like Valve to make a GPU and somehow be like one of the best ones at the time and never make another one again.
