Tbf I’ve read that they missed their third deadline for an early access release. I was interested in the game but if what you have after like 5 years still isn’t enough for even early gameplay scrutiny, maaaaybe some major mistakes were made. And then never addressed. For half a decade.

I’ll hate on big companies and executives alllllll day, but I’m an equal opportunity hater whenever it’s warranted.

There are quite a few times when the publishers get the hate for a studio’s failings.

Ehhh the result of work in companies always depends on management, responsibility flows to the top.

If the workers are bad and they aren’t replaced, it’s still management’s fault.

Never forget that responsibility means blame. Unfortunately true. Also unfortunately, shit always rolls downhill.

Agreed, this just looks like a miss.

Who knows why, but it doesn’t seem like for-profit Game of Thrones.
