NTA but I had heard from multiple sources or observed even (Reddit discord forums blogs etc) that the dev team had internal issues and arguing/ shitflinging. Wasn’t a professional environment but that’s expected from a fan game. I was really excited about the game and followed it for a few years anywhere I could find any info out about it. Would link trailers to my friends or show people what was coming out. Thing is though It probably would have taken another 3 or 4 years from NOW to get finished at the rate it was going. So part of me doesnt care anymore that it got cancelled. The way they had advertised it a long time ago implied it was just a year or two away and that was like 5 years ago. like a lot of projects it probably got bogged down with endless feature creep.
Another thing I had heard, and I could be wrong, is that a secondary factor for it getting shut down was devs on the dev team getting into political crap on social media. and Lego not wanting a game to be associated in any way with that stuff. And to me that makes a lot of sense because if you are on the right or the left, and you are public facing members of a huge game with millions of people waiting for it to release, you should not be waving around your political opinions and should be using a separate social media handle to let your opinions out. it just is unprofessional. I didn’t care enough to learn about the who said what or what the political opinions were, frankly I don’t care, but if your team is working on an IP owned by some other giant company you should probably keep your heads down and not do anything that can draw unneeded attention to a project that can legally be shut down at any moment.
I’m not trying to shit on them I respect the work they put out but you only need one or two people to ruin something for everyone else and I would not be surprised if legos lawyers or brand management people said yeah this is not something we think is good for the brand.
