Semi-deliberately? They didn't want to win, or didn't want to spend
the effort to win?

I never had anyone throw or semi-throw a campaign before. And I think
that whatever reasoning they had for that may well influence your next
steps. To me, it sounds dire enough that one should question running
any future campaigns.

I have had 'honest' total losses before with some secondary and new
groups. I didn't run the outcome as it seemed rather pointless and the
players have no investment anyway. The events of the campaign have
their footnote (if that, few people notice the tree falling in the
forest) in the timeline and that's that.

Then we typically take a break from that setting and run something
different for a while afterwards.
