I could believe this more if Yoshi P wasn't on the board of directors. The team has tripled since ARR so there has been growth in the team. It sounds like an excuse people use because none of us 100% know the inner workings of SE and it's a defense that is hard to really argue against. In the end though it is Yoshi P's responsibility to use the funds they are given wisely, so any short comings are his blame for not leading the project correctly.

On that note I don't think SE made the devs simplify the classes, I think there is a disconnect between the devs and the way players play the game. You can see in many cases Yoshi P states the intent of design but in many cases it does not meet the intentions he is claiming the design was made for.
