>Ion storm failued due to lack of focus, which came from the top.
As someone who knows firsthand, I just have to say that John couldn't be more correct on that point.
After devoting nearly every waking hour of my life to Daikatana for a year and a half I found that in the end it's goes nowhere if the effort was not applied toward a consistent goal.
Imagine a single point with hundreds of random vectors originating from it. Add them together and they essentially cancel one another out.
That point is Daikatana and those vectors represent the effort myself and others put into it over several years.
Direction is important.
And to maintain direction, you need focus. And that, truly, is what Ion lacked.
