And about the rushing
Scott told them to do the base game he wanted, which they did actually do in the deadline
The PROBLEM was that they decided right before the deadline to add another two whole layers that wasn't needed to the entire game which caused it to be delayed.
And that's their problem, they just kept adding stuff before their deadlines instead of polishing what they already added.
And because they couldn't finish it all before the deadline, they cut a entire third of the content. And made it a buggy unpolished mess with a lot of the content in the trash that steel wool said "will eventually be added back in" but never plan to
Dont complain about being unable to finish something by a deadline if your adding layers of work before the deadline to "improve" the game.
