First screen shot from my new game called Death by Scrolling. I started working on this game back in 2019. It started out great and everybody I showed it to loved it, but it was simple. Everyone asked for progression and “game” stuff and over the next six months I proceeded to ruined it. Then a little game called Return to Monkeys island came along and I took the next two years to build that with Dave Grossman and a wonderful team.

The short answer is because s**t rolls downhill. For a longer and more nuanced answer, there's multiple factors to consider. The main issue is that the company is trying to cut costs immediately. This is usually for two major reasons: Reassure investors to keep them from dumping the stock and driving down the company's value Save as much money as they can from their current stockpile for other projects still in development.

My sympathies for your situation. I'm not surprised at all. I've always been a proponent of post-launch game support. DLC and continued support is a great training ground for juniors and mid-levels to level up their skills on lower-stakes content and features and post-launch content has a notably less brutal delivery schedule. I thought it was a big gamble when Veilguard marketing announced that there wouldn't be any post-launch content.
