So basically, they had to remake the game from scratch with a new team. What the fuck are they even doing?
I love them “turning off replies” on their official twitter, what a stunning admission that they fucked up and dont want to hear about it.
Jesus christ, not only did a fucking sped on 4chan make your game before you could and made it enjoyable, but they had the integrity to do it without firing and replacing the whole team.
Rebooting the entire narrative and purging the dev team is GVH's death knell. Not even major AAA productions can cope with such a major change in plot direction, just look at the borderline nonsensical plot of Destiny 1 for an example, or more recently Cyberpunk 2077. I would be surprised if it ever sees the light of day, even more surprised if it has anything resembling a coherent plot or developed characters.
Keep in mind that the devs replaced their original narrative people with a different, external team a year ago, pretty much right after the game's announcement. And they absolutely had to do it because there was no way they were ever going to get back in the good graces of their woke target audience as long as persona-non-grata Kate Gray remained involved in any capacity. The original 2021 release year was stated in the announcement trailer, before the controversy occurred, and the announced 2022 delay now is (at least to some extent) the caught-up consequence of the development upheaval that controversy demanded of them.
The new narrative team has been no secret. Their part was revealed by the devs in the month following the game's announcement.
