Sounds to me like Darkside didn't play it very smart. Though MS are the dicks in this situation.
As soon as MS said they needed to do a SP campaign Darkside should have played hardball and demanded a budgetary increase. If MS said no Darkside should have said "no extra budget no SP campaign, do you still want the project to move forward?" Project management is all about constantly reassessing whether the project can be successfully completed, as soon as the answer is no it can't then the project must either end or alterations muct be made to the project in order for the assessment to return to a yes situation.
It is definitely shit for MS to substantially increase the scope and not allocate additional funds for it.
