Pretty much what I'd guess as well. They allocated resources to the initial release state of viera/hrothgar - the vastly more limited state of viera/hrothgar - which wouldn't have had an effect on their patch release schedule. No hairs, no headgear, etc.. Then they started fitting some headgear to viera/hrothgar, then Covid hit. I'm not going to pretend Covid didn't have an impact, it did, but issues like these were prevalent prior to Covid. They then release male viera. I do believe Yoshida when he has said how much it costs to maintain these races.

However, In the end, it was their decision to include them, and this game has become extremely successful. The players of viera/hrothgar deserve better.
