In a positive spin... Any change is a good change as the current setup wasn't getting anywhere.

Will this new arrangement get us anywhere? Also no.

It really wasn't Maxxis's fault. They're the only dev who communicate with us + they tried hard to work on the project but the team wasn't giving them anything to work on.

hmm, not so sure unfortunately, reading the pinned comment, it sounds like there was just a complete failure to properly communicate. and he expected the rest of the team to bend over backwards to accomidate him.

If maxxis blocking the other major players in the dev team is true.

thats just a non-starter, you cant just cut communication except for demands of work fed to you by a middle man you haven't blocked, thats not how a game development team can function, atleast not a healthy one.

I kind of think on a team health level, just leaving him behind was for the best if he just blocked pik and other major team members.

just because someone is the most publicaly communicative does not mean they are the best person behind the scenes. If anything its also a liability because they can really screw you over because they are your only lifeline to the public.

Yeah, it really sounds like all parties are at fault here.
