The community links for both games point to the same place, so it's definitely the same team, not a doubt about it.

Maybe Havendock isn't stuck in EA but they just ran out of ideas. Or had such a good idea that it turned into a whole new game. This is not uncommon, and re-using assets isn't either.

I do agree Havendock should be marked as out of EA then, because it might be misleading. But maybe this is better for sales, scummy as it may be.

I don't have any issues with them launching a new game. I am not even opposed to asset re-use if the new game has a new concept. To be honest, I enjoy Havendock as it is right now (even though some of the late game is clearly not finished).

But they really should have clarified their goals for Havendock before launching another game (that will also be in EA).
