In theory all this could be done. It's more complex than you'd think to develop one of these very large game worlds. I'd also guess your over estimating how much money can be made to support on going development. If I were a developer trying to live on developing audio games it would make the most amount of sense to have a wide offering of different types of games rather than one very big game as I would have to attract the widest customer base you can. Speaking for myself, it's the challenge of developing games that's fun and why I do it rather any financial reward, that's why the code I write outside of the day job I generally release for free. Thanks. Nick.
