    It’s almost as if treating your employees poorly and mismanaging everything has negative consequences. That’s just crazy talk though, right?

    Hardly surprising and it fits the scenario: a relatively small indie dev studio with only small-mid sized games under their belt with leadership deciding to buy into one of the most expensive IP available. Now, not only do they have a publisher looming over their work but are also under serious financial pressure to perform as well as expectation of a huge fan base plus promising a AAA sized game.

    The leadership simply bit off far more than they could chew and panic set in, resulting in cut corners everywhere.

    End result was a predictable disaster. Could have been avoided with smarter/better leadership. Clearly they didn’t think much of their dev team.
