That's because you assume they have real leadership to take into consideration the future. This is basic stuff you see in general with crowd funded games. A total lack of leadership, no one to crack the whip so to say and if you think they don't need to have someone to drive them forward, then you are kidding yourselves.
I've seen titles that were under development for years with pretty generous sums of money being shot at them and yet the developers were always swamped with work, broke and simultaneously going in vacations more times per year than millionaires, I shit you not. I'm not saying this is the case here because I simply don't know and I really don't want to cause it might just end up pissing me off, just seeing the state of their steam forums got me pretty annoyed, where legitimate criticism is met with typical fanboy disdain. But I will say that what's happening with this game seems to follow the general formula that's heading towards the same conclusion. The lack of communication, the bullshit on their social media pages, the excuses and the army of fanboys that swarm anyone who might have any complaint concerning the game. I really want to be wrong about this.
