It's business/management reasons, not fan or dev reasons imho.
You know, a real leader™ gets results - to-dos done, (extended) deadlines achieved, pipeline updates for the supervisory board, a KPI of how many times per day project managers ask their teams 'how is the task progressing/are we on track' & reminding them of the scrum/agile/ABC bullshit, etc.
I dont understand the hurry. it's been over a decade since the last game who cares if this one comes out a few months late
