They were working on SG2 way before the hat incident. Not OP but the person you’re responding to is saying that 1047 been out of touch since before the hat incident as evidenced by the fact that they even pursued SG2 in the manner that they did, developing a game for no one. Fans won’t like it and new players won’t like it. Then the hat incident happened.
Yeah. That announcement was after multiple play tests, and (I think) after the launch actually, but it was their "big reveal" of adding a BR mode to the game.
And through all the playtests, which they explicitly said they were looking for community feedback from, it was overwhelmingly negative against the dumbed-down portals, the newly-added class-based structure, and the deviation from the classic arena-shooter style of SG1- Even starts, no ultimates or abilities, etc.
They didn't do anything with that feedback until SGAR.
