I'd agree with you but then you hear about all the sketch shit with the discord and the volunteers. I think they intended to make a game but planned for it to just be a quick cash grab and then they could just slowly dump it. It's honestly a great strategy, just look at every game the atlas devs have made. They've basically mastered the strategy.
