Everyone already knew that was what happened. Sure, they would've taken some arrows over it, but they could've at least shown enough respect to the community to stand by their choice and fess up to it. The short term economics of making a VR game are pretty bleak, and if you explain how that affected your decisions to people in a clear way, then most of them will understand. Even if they're not thrilled about it, they'll understand. Sure, there's always going to some rabidly upset people who rip on you no matter what, but that's just part of being in the games industry. If you're unwilling to deal with that, then you need to find another career. I'll agree that they were going to get some grief no matter what (And some of that is actually deserved. Even though I don't blame them for taking funding, and their decision to do so is defensible, they still kind of pulled the rug out from under a bunch of people that they had convinced to be excited about their game), but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't have been a better way of dealing with it than what they did.
