potato_hamster said: They're not always new projects, it's just the example I used was a new project. I do know of another project where the studio I was working for worked on a port of a multi-platfom game to a newer platform about six months before the release date of the new game with the intent of this port coming out some months after the fact. It was cancelled a month after the initial release because sales were much lower than expected, and there was little hope this platform would fare any better. |
Its funny, as I was off to do something else, I was thinking about a scenario similar to that and wondered if it was a possiblity.
Even though its one of several possiblities, it was still interesting to discuss.
Also I want to apologize for my phrasing. Sometimes my biggest weakness is poor word choice. When I said I was skeptical, it was more so that the scenario with Bungie didn't add up to me and I had trouble understanding. You've never given me a reason to doubt your statements so I defintely take them into account.
