  • Yes, it's often sunk cost fallacy
  • Everyone underestimates how hard games are to make, even industry professionals
  • Sometimes projects keep going because it's the brainchild of a Legendary Name
  • Sometimes it's just nepotism
  • And sometimes it's a lil bit of the ol' tax fraud

It's always a small tragedy when an exciting project gets cancelled, but there are definitely games that get released where you can look at it and say "you had to know that cancelling this would be a smaller loss than finishing it, like a year ago".

I understand why small developers get tied up finishing the flawed big-dream project, with big publisher-backed stuff it's honestly just kind of embarrassing.
