It was due to EA. EA bought the parent company of the studio that developed Thrill Kill and they weren't interested in releasing Thrill Kill and risking their reputation.

"The decision [to discontinue 'Thrill Kill'] was made as soon as we could make it after we acquired the company," says Becker. "From the time that the deal was closed to the time that decision was made was a couple of weeks.

"It wasn't a decision that was made hastily. Our whole executive team was involved in the decision to cancel the game, and we certainly evaluated it to see if there was something that we could do to make ourselves more comfortable with the content. The tone and the tenor of the game are just too violent."

Not only has EA decided not to publish "Thrill Kill," it has decided not to sell the game to other publishers.
