When i was a kid I spent hours and hours playing Burrito Bison on Newgrounds so I know Juicy Beast know how to make games, really good and enjoyable games.
As for the article, it was an interesting read and I almost predicted every raison why the game was a failure but I don't agree with some:
1.The "strike a deal first" one is nonsensical. Get famous enough on one platform and the sales will be as good on the others. 2. Only one console at a time should've been obvious ( currently it's the Switch first, others later)
I also think that a significant part of the failure comes from the fact that the market was saturated with party games at the time as i remember seeing a lot of ads about similar games and then it just stopped. Also, these kind of games are not really that interesting and become repetitive very fast and no single-player / online multi-player killed it before it was even out.
