Geez, how could they let something like that happen?  If they can't release a graphics mod for a very popular game, I seriously have even more doubts about how they handle their studios going forward.

Game has 176million sales and they don't follow up on a huge graphic update for it which they deem to be "too ambitious" If I promised something to 100+m potential users you know what's too ambitious? Thinking they'll be fine with you cancelling work you promised them 2 years ago with no alternative offered... just... Oh you know that update from 2 years ago? yeah, cba sorry, we demo'd it 2 years ago but apparently making it work was just too much of a bother for one of the largest software companies in the world. Tragic behaviour in terms of what they deliver compared to what MS promises, I think to have faith in their PR spins in 2019 is to be having a level of faith which would be normally associated with religious groups.

Will wait for the deflective "MS isn't the only company to cancel games, isn't the only company to close studios, isn't the only company to do 180 all the time, etc".
