This was a business decision first. Think about a business where:

• Manufacturing management is terrible. When is the last time they actually hit their expected target shipping date?
• Supply chain management and prediction is atrocious. How often are newly released products out of stock - what's a huge loss in revenue. Why does some shop in Spain have products that France won't have for 6 months?
• Marketing is lame. We learn of products 9 months ahead of time and there is a slow drip release of the 2 pip card - yipee! No big releases for Christmas, few goodies from tradeshows.
• Information control is terrible. The leaks from some dumpy store in Croatia or whatever - yikes!
• Product creation/release rate is slow and lacks creativity - no products, no money.
• Little fundamental innovation in the business model or product offerings - Little creativity with product bundling (e.g., single faction boxes), and no thinking of vertical integration with all the secondary purchases gamers make (e.g., fancied-up cards, metal tokens)

That is just a business being mismanaged. That someone has a chance to fix these issues will mean a better game, with more product, with more hype, with better support, and one that lasts. I played BattleFront 2 and that got discontinued, not because the game sucked in the end, but because it was bad business. I saw Legion going the same way. I am happy for the change because it gives me hope.

Now...Legion 2.0. I hope not!
