Common sense, and eight+ years of following the development, and many rumors have strongly suggested that the sim couldn't keep going as is. A couple of times Oleg mentioned they were running out of time and money and COD had to be released soon. That time has long since come and gone. It was also rumored that the development had cost eight million dollars so far and you can't continue that with this very small genre. Its not hard to figure out what choices they had left. Luckily they chose to release what was done with the hope the influx of cash would keep the accountants at bay for the time being.
