I dont know them personally but I assume they were way to cocky and dumb a year ago. They prob burned bridges with legit partners because they thought they could go it alone.
Nobody can sit here and say they didnt at least before plan to go it alone.
that is 100% what titan thought they could do and wanted to and may even still be stupid enough tot try to do.
yes things changed this year, but if you take it back to the beginning they THOUGHT they could go it alone and cblocked other companies who legit probably wanted to partner.
