It's almost like they operate their business by the seat of their pants, deciding year-to-year what to work on. A better model would be to have multi-year plans. In other words, deciding how much time and money are going to be spent on each area of the game 3 years in advance with a portion of the resources earmarked as "discretionary" so that specific areas that need addressing can get special attention (the amount of discretionary dollars can vary based on the available budget when that year actually arrives).
It is remarkably wasteful to spend time and money developing a mode and then abandoning it. If you're going to do that, you're better off never developing it and using the time and money spent to develop it to strengthen another area of the game.
It's poor management, in my opinion.
