The team was unorganized, lacked motivation due to not being paid, kept delaying and missing deadlines, and had trouble contacting their own head producer when needed. Vincent's family, who felt this was not a real job, even ''attempted to wipe out one of his hard drives'' to convince him to quit (fortunately, Vincent was able to recover everything).

** PSY's Right Now was originally announced as a song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvHzbpvmaMI in the trailer of Pump It Up Fiesta 2]], making his first credited song in the series. However, it was never featured in the game. In addition, Lexy's ''Greenhorn'', a song that featured PSY uncredited, was also removed. ExecutiveMeddling occurred due to the popularity of Gangnam Style. Even though Andamiro have strong relationships with the South Korean music industry, PSY signed a contract with U.S. company Schoolboy Records (Universal Media Group) the same month the trailer was released, making it much harder to sign PSY on future releases. Instead, PSY's Gangnam Style was featured as a DLC for ''VideoGame/DanceCentral'' and ''VideoGame/JustDance''. His later popular songs were normally released on future ''Just Dance'' releases: "Gentleman" in 2014, "Daddy" in 2017, and "New Face" in 2018.
