Oh, the fucks up are massive. They hired a new studio, but also, they pulled the funding then the project without warning. Then they poached the devs, forcing the studio to close and sending them to a newly funded studio. Then, when it became obvious it wasn’t a massive success, they cut their funding too without warning, and sold the IP without telling the studio about it.

KSP was mishandled so wildly that it should be a case study of how profit oriented management kills creativity and destroys IPs. This is why you never let the MBAs run anything.
