You hit the nail on the head. They got defensive when invited by the backers to clarify some of the issues you identified. At best they were like "trust us, we know what we're doing. We're old hands at this." So, backers dug deeper and uncovered a morass. And that was the end of that. The concept was interesting, and so I hope they spend a year working on it, offer perhaps alpha stage (minimally) demos, prune their astronomical budget, and relaunch on Kickstarter. SoftStorms would be there to back them again.
