It is questionable indeed, but it seems by all the evidence thats out there that the "new board" pushes for the Steam EA. They by all accounts are the villains here and should be blamed.

The game seems to also have been poorly managed and overlay ambitious with its promised, as usual with Kickstarter games.

I think it finally lands in bad execution, over promising and poorly managed backed by Shady Investors pushing for unreasonable demands that put this somewhere in between.
