Right,

It seems like they realized with Cities Skylines 2 that their QA and overall output quality had to be higher and Life By You's state must have been in such a position that they weren't confident they could turn it around.

Ultimately, they need to do some good-will gesture around CS2 in order to gain the trust of the sim audience again and I don't think it should be that difficult for them to course correct that game (though how they market it and get it in people's hands is another question...)

I started playing the Trials of Mana remake only a few weeks ago.

It has rough parts but overall increased my interest in Visions of Mana. I went from not knowing it even existed to being cautiously optimistic!
