You've got to dig a little deeper to get to the real answer. Problem was with Square-Enix, who backed out of the GO project. After that it seems like Mastiff didn't want to pursue the idea anymore, but Danny did, so here we are. This is conjecture based on my own DD of course, but that's the story as far as I can tell. IENT's gain is Mastiff's loss, plain and simple. Nothing but upside here.
