Pros
– Talented, passionate team members who truly cared about the project – A compelling setting and strong creative potential in early stages – Access to modern development tools and workflows
Cons
– Deeply dysfunctional management at multiple levels consistently made poor, short-sighted decisions – Feedback from the team was routinely ignored, with a top-down communication style that bordered on toxic – Constant shifts in vision and direction left the team disoriented and demotivated – A lack of transparency — critical decisions were made behind closed doors without involving the core team – After 8 years of development, the project collapsed under its own mismanagement, unable to compete or evolve – Many team members were relocated internationally with promises that were later broken, leading to layoffs – Years of effort and creativity were wasted due to a complete absence of strategic leadership
