They didn't really pull the road map. They had things they were working on in the road map. Things like the Cult of the Wolf, and Tar Pits. After their explosive success they apparently did a lot of bug fixing, then the money flow stopped. They sold a lot of games, saturated their buying market. They had a pile of money, 16 gazillion games sold, and now they had to actually finish. But finishing costs money. Money that already had in their pockets. Money that would no longer flow in as there are not many gamers left who haven't already bought it. So they finished what they already had 1/2 finished and we got a few more building pieces and root armor, and now we wait. But finishing the game now will actually lose them money, not gain it.
5 people built 5 biomes, plus the ocean, plus the landscape art for the other 4 biomes, plus all the 1/2 finished stuff lke Cult of the Wolf, in 4 years. It's been 20 months since, and they couldn't even populate one more biome in all that time. Why?
Blah blah blah. Small team. Blah blah blah, lots of bug fixing.
Face it. There is very little more money to be made on this title. I know Mistlands is supposed to drop soon, nearly 2 years after initial release. I'll wager my Mjolnir that we never see the 8th biome finsihed.
