The truth is: The game was going in the wrong direction. Too much Riley content. Let's be honest, every person who is not gay or at the very least bi-curious skipped all the scenes with lightning speed. Underwhelming scenes with the mother and the daughter which at least 90% were playing the game for. Introduction of side charaters only a minority cared about because their story arcs were bland. Update cycle slowing down over the course of the development of the game.
As hard as it sounds but maybe it is good that the game is dead now.
