You can't blame Chriseh for planning something and not being able to go through with it because the people he worked with suddenly lost interest in the project as a whole. He also had IRL issues of his own (same as everyone else) later on that prevented him from carrying on some of his ideas but shortly after the stream was made and the project announced, Chriseh was throughly commited to making this a reality.
I was just, same as always, unreliable and I believe that's also around that time that Pieter started being also less active/involved in community projects.
