Exactly. In most contractual business situations there are deadlines to be met. I highly doubt that any investor would agree to a six year long development. My guess is that the deadlines were not met a couple of times by Maddox Games.

Blaming UBI is easy, but it's also getting very old.

Also "the small team argument" is totally invalid, since the game's price is exactly the same as any other AAA titles from major software studios. And the price is the ULTIMATE factor for ANY product. You can't sell Hyundai's priced as Ferrari's and expect people to be happy about the performance of the former.
