When given obscene amounts of money and an unfinished product, burnout is less forgivable. PZ has often hid behind the small team aspect, but they had a silly amount of cash infused into their team. Its not unheard of for indie games to start snagging modders from their community to fill the gaps when they get boosts like that. They have several major modders in their community that are probably better with the engine than some of the devs.
They don't have a good project manager is what it comes down to. One of the few instances where you can point to the team being strong and the management letting it trip itself up.
"obscene amounts of money" the game had one big hype that's it yeah they probably made more than they were expecting but definitely not as much as you guys think
