Eurogamer stated it was a game, which probably didn't have any interactive parts.
Anyway old news but here:

I'm not talking about what Eurogamer said I'm talking about what Microsoft said. 

And again from Microsoft. "@BlackTuskStudio has been working on an all original IP since its inception, we've just brought the GOW franchise into our portfolio and have not yet determined the future of the new IP at this point," the account wrote.

I've looked at your source and it seems you have conceeded to the fact that it was a new IP and not a tech demo?


Edit: the source for the article you posted says,

"You don’t spend a year and a half working on a game without getting attached to it."

It wasn't a tech demo.

IP =/= game. 

That project was in pre-production with 20 people while MS was making a deal with Epic.

It was Black Tusk choice to work on Gears instead of the other project they were planning.
