Why don't devs for once say, "We have made a piece of crap let's scrap it."

Resident Evil 1.5 is not a good example of a game that was scrapped, because it wasn't really scrapped per se. Again, that was just the stand in name for Resident Evil 2 while the game was in development. Development that was eventually started over at square one.

If you played Resident Evil 2, that was the final version of "Resident Evil 1.5" I played the early beta when it was roughly 80% done. It wasn't bad by any measure, but truth be told, it was a good call to re-do the whole game.
