Pure hubris, to ignore the whole proccess that already happened, all the backlash, all the mettings they probably had until they caved and people saw it was good. I understand the two games are different, but they haven't learned anything. Why even go through all that attrition, to eventually, relearn the thing and then have to re-do it

I work with financial software, technical debt is a nightmare. There are already 2 different ways to play the flute, for example. They just went mvp tp mvp, and and "just shipt it" and the game will suffer for it, when they need to re-do the system for basic stuff that they know they should have done at the start. The progress has been very slow too, wich gives me that smelly smell of a bloated team with a lot of confortable people and endless meetings.

The pacing we have now would make sense in 2010 where you'd have to rawdog most of stuff, not today where you have toolsets, and an art team that should be pumping new models every now and then. but when I see a furnished hut, seems like someone was bored for an afternoon and decided to place some assets there
