I have read your deep dive with strong mixed feelings over a long time. I was the lead designer of the game until Jay/Mina abruptly took over my manuscript and forced untested changes that nearly broke the game, as you reviewed. And I can prove it. It was a lawful act from her, but highly unethical and ultimately clumsy.

Shattered City was a huge effort from my part, and I think you would have enjoyed the original version much more.
