Perhaps its because people would rather assume it would have been something more like LucasArts unable to retain good developers, and was loosing them to stronger publishers with promises of bigger budgets to such likes of EA and Activision. Or loosing your star developers who wished to leave to make their own developer studios, rather then being micro managed by the overlords, you know, the typical stuff that happens every week now...Imbechile said:
I don't think anybody actually honestly expected that LucasArts went into self destruct mode jumping on landmines wanting to just not shoot themselves in the foot, but blow them off completely.
