I don't see how this feature could sink production. It's only problem in the final game was not being as important as I'd want it.

I love what I've played of this game, but in my single playthrough I died of a heart attack about fifteen minutes in … and although I want to restart, I just can't shake the feeling that that's actually what happened, and to try again would be to spit in the face of destiny.

Your loss. The game is absolutely amazing.
