Some other sites seem to imply that there was some sort of conflict amongst the staff (Kotaro Uchikoshi using a pseudonym that he's never used elsewhere seems to add credibility to this theory). Time might not have also been the issue, given that Uchikoshi was given a lot of time to write 12Riven (even without the delay due to KID's bankrupcy. Of course, this required him to work in the office for long hours on end, but this is apparently normal for Japanese employees).
