it was a perfect opportunity of both probing the developers competence with a certain budget/time constraints and public approval, they had to make it or break it.
fortunately for us SH1 chads, this means SH2 was their trainings wheels so it didn't really mattered if they fucked it up, which they didn't, so now we got the better deal of not dealing with the growing pains of what did or did not work with 2, as those will get ironed out with a even better budget and time constraints, worthy of the better game.
