They bit off far more than they could chew attempting 2 full races in one go like that.
I think they explained why in an old live letter. But they wanted to release the Hrothgars, but again Viera were what people were screaming for. And I literally just said someone was gonna meantion this. lol. But they thought it'll be the best of both worlds to do viera and Hrothgars. They tried to make everyone happy. And I bet they thought, " Well there's never been a male viera drawn or model so the backlash shouldn't be too bad" I mean they thought wrong. But I bet a million cheese burgers it'll be worse if they just released Hroths and no viera. Cause that was what they were going to do.

TLDR: Viera were never part of the plan.
