That doesn't tell the whole story about 38 - they wanted to make a game and then a sequel that would be a MMO, launching from the success of the first game. That was their plan and the direction they poured a lot of resources into. Hopefully the glaring issue is obvious here!
Oh this is true.
Which is another problem with game development, constantly scrapping what you've made and effectively wasting millions of dollars. For instance, I wonder how much Metal Gear Rising cost to develop before it was cancelled years later. Probably a lot. And then there are issues such as developing demos that don't make it into the game just so you have something for trade shows... The whole system is just a mess. So many wasted resources. Honestly I'd like to see just how much money has been wasted on plans that never were.
