Rather unsurprising but of course sucks for the developers. What were the execs thinking?

They were probably thinking they could get AAA game quality and indie game budgets, just by injecting a well known license.

Stray pulled off AAA quality on a tiny budget using something loved by a lot of people (cat protagonist) but it had a number of advantages, primarily you don’t need licensing fees for cats, the dev time was deep into “purely a labor of love” length, and I don’t think it came out near any releases of a superior direct competitor. Any adventure epic right now had to contend with FF16 and people still messing around with Tears of the Kingdom.
