Heartbreaker:
>Our next book for 2e after Mars and Venus will be.. EARTH!
Literally every player:
>Go fuck yourself, where the fuck are Mercury, Titan, and Luna?
Heartbreaker
>Uh.. guess I'll die instead
Chronopia had been going on for a while at that point. It annoyed some of the Warzone crew, sure. Then they spread even thinner, leading to a long hiatus in Warzone proper before the first Earth book. People got more and more pissed because the higher-ups pushed back a bunch of planned releases for the other main factions to get the Tribes into production, pushed Chronicles back from bimonthly to quarterly to semi-annually, then basically went dark (even on the forums) other than a random FAQ and some odd rules changes that pissed all the tournament players off.
So when 3e came out and Imperial, Mishima, Cybertronic, half the Dark Symmetry, and the Brotherhood all got fucked over for something that was clearly a pet project for the devs.. yeah. Deleting the Cartel, 40-50% of the existing Doomtroopers along with many Corporate units, and removing about 90% of the weapon options in one fell swoop didn't help either. When you push personalizing your forces, converting and modeling as a main aspect of your business doing a hard pivot to streamlined tourneyfagging and making almost all models with weapon conversions illegal with no notice whatsoever is a real fuckin' bad idea. Especially when the nominal army size for everyone about tripled and the only minis that were shipping were the reculpts. The backlash was so bad Heartbreaker went incommunicado for a while.
Then the Pokemon crash hit
Ultimately I think their biggest mistake was insisting on dumping all the resculpted units on the market for Capitol and Bauhaus instead of trying to get out more books with a couple units and troopers for each army. The SKU bloat and self-inflicted dead stock on store shelves was a big part of what took them out.
