Hilarious, when will they learn you cannot sell a game that gamers do not want to play.

I always feel bad for the devs with these situations. I'm sure there's so much art and effort put into this game even if it sucked, and those people who made it now don't even get to show it off in action. Even if the final result sucked, it still sucks for those people who worked hard on elements of it.

I couldn't imagine putting 8 years of effort into a game only for it to bomb. But a least they got their paychecks.

There is a good chance if it is a badly managed project by the time it launches everyone working on it already resents the project anyway and will be glad that it is over.

Very true. It sounds like a project from hell honestly.
