they've spent most of the money a long time ago. since then they've been on the death spiral, in order to keep going they have made stretch goals ane ship packs that are increasing the scope, therefore increasing the budget, which they need money for, down the spiral they go.
i don't follow the game but my impression is that the huge amount of money they raised is shackling them to the wrong technical decisions they made many years ago. they can't start over otherwise that would be millions of donor money wasted. if this was a normal company they would've either cancelled the project or salvaged what they can and start over.
it also looks like most of the experienced people quit due to mismanagement and most of the staff are new hires. all i can say is i wouldn't wanna work on a project like that.
