While it's some good news, I wouldn't be counting those chickens just yet. Seems there's another year or more wait, with a KS in the interim. Which doesn't seem like it will do so great based on the bad press surrounding Myth. But what do I know?As for what the hell happened?
Put simply, they spread themselves too thin and too quickly. After Myth McG had a flurry of KS for Recon, Banner Saga, Dark Frontier and a couple others. Maintaining and producing that many titles for a 3 person design crew is insane.
When your money and resources are spread across 4 other games and systems, something has to give....and apparently it was everything.
Had MCG concentrated on making Myth their flagship title and provide the support a flagship required, and focused on Myth for a few years, they would have had the time, money and resources to expand into other titles and games.
I think they were elated with their initial success, had a pile of ideas, and implemented way too many of them which tore through the cash more quickly than they could manage.
