I'm not suggesting it would be easy..... But the crybaby element could be overcome through output quality.

Small market is difficult one though. I think you'd need sales of around 500,000 to justify spending a ten million or so

GPL means no one could use that code for selling.

And the second option guarantees that, no matter the state of the game/engine at the BoM release, community can pick it up, fix it and continue the work on it to bring it to at least an acceptable state if MG are not up to the task (as in if they won't be interested anymore, or they are not able to)

And then, I will be willing to pay them for that.

But they could not sell anything anymore, at least not with the amount of "exclusivety" a closed engine could. 1C would never allow that.

No it wouldn't. Rise of Flight is a fantastic game with very few annoying problems and there is still a constant stream of whining on their forum.
