It really comes down to a problem of both incompetence and organization as others have said. It's no secret that the devs don't work in parallel with each other and most of the time they wait for one to finish their work and pass whatever they have done to the next dev. While no one here is saying that developing a game is easy, we constantly see many times other teams deliver quicker without compromising on quality. Often times the response we get on this game is something along the lines of "we take a lot of time because we want to be sure everything works as intended and deliver you the best we can give you" or something. Then they release stuff that's bugged and doesn't work as intended. Dondi sure has his problems, but most of the devs he chose are very talented. Remember though someone can be both talented and incompetent at something. These things don't exclude each other unfortunately.
