That sucks

Excuse me but please explain how a pandemic stopped people whom WORK ON COMPUTERS from working? They can work from home like every other game dev did.

Don't excuse these people for abandoning their game.

They are still making new games so its not like they ran out of money. They just realised that this game wasnt going anywhere and they were too far down the path to fix it.

Likely it made developing much harder from home when all the equipment is in the offices, assuming they couldn't transition most of equipment over to people's places considering it would take money time and people not using personal computers for work/not having the files on them. I'm not sure how in Canada it works but many countries shut down work for many companies to keep people at home for prolonged times, I don't think you realized how severe the situation and how drastically many governments took upon by stopping people from going out or interacting to slow down COVID.

They had the money, they had the people, they worked for a good while but pandemic happened and updates slowed down. I know another studio had similar issue and had to do hard transitioning to make work at home for a while but that slowed updates, not to mention they had to sell 51% of shares to keep that company's employees working and ensure their future.

BYG is an indie studio, these things hit hardest when there's noone but you backing yourself to make product and world wide event like this happening governments stopping work would cause a lot of damage. A lot of people been affected. It's not only BYG. Excuses can be made.

It just happens.
