The motive is it wouldn't have sold, and EA would have lost more money than if they had released it. Just like the fully complete localization of Earthbound Beginnings that never came out. No hidden motive. Just an obvious motive: money.


How should EA loose money with an already finished game?

Crysis 3 would had sell easily 100-300k on wii u (like similar aaa titles).

Even if we say just 100k. Ea would probly make 20 bucks profit per sold game (rest taxes and all the other stuff).

 

100k x 20bucks = 2mil.

 

How should they pay more then 2mil to release the game? Doesnt make any sense at all.

Same way tv shows are canned before even airing. Take the Wonder Woman pilot not too long ago. It was a nearly 100% finished 2 hr pilot. Huge investment. Millions used up. More millions would be lost because of the TV spot from ad revenue. And those sponsers maybe get mad and not go back. It's better to just air something old than something more won't watch. Not piss off companies. And damage the image of DC, WB, and the Wonder Woman comic. Think of Gearbox and Duke Nukem. Or Aliens: CM. You easily can go "screw anything made by that shit company."
