I can only guess, but I think OKAM ended up the way it is because of some issues with the sponsor. For me, the game failed and died the moment Donkeys left. But here's the thing: without sponsoring, DC would probably never get even this far. But with sponsoring, we have the current situation. Of course we can bring up what ifs and talk about how it should be done and how it could be perfect, but it's never perfect and all you can do now is learn from mistakes. If someone is still grieving after their 20 yuros or whatever it was, think about Donkeys and how they lost years of their work only to become "minor shareholders" of their own product.
