@ratzinger  Sorry mate, you accepted the risk with backing. Just because you ignored it does not make it go away. KS is simply not a pre-order platform.

I think nearly all company´s on KS are not big enough to handle larger projects on their own. But even then a successful KS does not mean that you made it. Even CMON stumbles if something like ASOIAF fails in retail.

Since there is a lot of product with Archon I would also go with the mismanagement theory. Malice would have gone a much easier route then they do right now.

This is speculation on my end..maybe the success with SDE made them overconfident. Instead of sticking to the plan…and for the worst get a mediocre/bad game out with KS…they thought they could do better (rules/quality ect.) and the cost for those good intentions went out of hand. Maybe they thought they could rely on the steady income of SDE to pull that off…but it did not work out as planned. So not only did they not have the financial security they thought they would have…but also lots of unfinished business on hand. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Now they hope to find someone willing to invest in their IPs…nothing more makes sense with only 4 people left. So…let´s hope they succeed with that!
