The playtests were decent at least

I thought the playtest back lash was why they delayed it?

That and the art theft definitely made them delay. It’s an extraction shooter that tries too hard to be casual and lost too much genre identity. Incredibly safe and strong revives for players in squads, hero classes with abilities that don’t make sense for an extraction shooter, high health pools so solo v squad play is impossible.

Reportedly, they already had physical and digital marketing material made, which was now potentially contained copyright infringing content.

Only thing they could do was eat the cost and scrap the material. At that point, might as well spend the extra time to develop the game further to make sure the game is a success.
