Mitsoda was fucking Ellison, game was nowhere near finished / nowhere near meeting deadlines. A lot of incompetence/lack of communication between Paradox and Mitsoda.
Exhibit A.

Random fucking announcement by Paradox that Bloodlines 2 was going to be shown at PDXCon and that he was going to be there to meet fans etc. The guy is very socially anxious and never liked the spotlight. There was just a lot of mismanagement going on with the project.
