The pivot is pretty obvious, yes.

Bruh.
Imagine you have a bunch of shit that's just in concept. You can only put your team on any one of like 50 projects, so you need to figure out what's going to float and what's not.

Out of your half-finished concept shit, your publisher would greatly prefer to release a bunch of OC gayboy just like my animu Cathay nonsense to get ez chink money and to avoid the treacherous and profit-draining morass that is GW's pre-existing IP.

So you get some idiot to test the waters by leaking shit to some idiot youtuber to see if your stinky mouthbreather whale faggot fanbase will buy it.
Your fanbase tells you to go yiff in hell because you don't understand that the people that enjoy WHF are niche and particular.
Based on the reaction, you go
>oh fuck nobody is going to buy this furshit.
and you put your resources in a different pot.

It's really not that big of a deal, but when shit got contentious they tried to use it to make Legend seem less credible, which he takes personally

Basically this. You need polished presentation or corporate shills like those in this thread will just tear it up. Literally trained to derail discussion and attack sources to avoid dealing with the subject matter.

It's basically the same as making a spelling mistake when you're arguing with someone in a /v/ thread. Whatever you said before you sounded like an idiot doesn't matter.
