Does it matters who idea it was? The company decided to push forward with it. Even if it takes less resources to make a limited job, the still need to use resources from that area. The need to add in animations, skill potency, job story line, and balancing the mask carnival.

When you can't deliver on a project you already committed to, you don't take any resources from that project and have them start on a new project now matter how little resources are being used. If your stakeholders are told you can't deliver on the project you promised in a timely manner but find out you were also working on small side projects they would be upset.

The real issue is they under delivered on the promise of balance and now want their customers to continue to be patient while they make it better. If the healer jobs felt unique and balanced I would feel a lot better about waiting another two years, however that is not the case. They didn't get it right the first time so why should people have faith they will get it right this time. How long is ok to wait for them to get right before it is acceptable to be upset?
