"This isn't because GBX didn't care, mind you."
As another poster already said, no, the whole reason this game sucks (no matter how convoluted the explanation), is exactly because GBX didn't care.
Sounds like they screwed SEGA over hard and basically used their cash to develop their own title and then pinched off a turd for SEGA that fulfilled their agreement only to the point that it allowed GBX to avoid being sued.
Thats how i read the reddit post as well.
