When publishers cancel a game outright, the fanbase usually whines that they could have at least released whatever they had done. And I don't expect there's anything magical about the games industry that protects it from cost overruns. You have to assume that at least some of the time the right call is to stop throwing money at a project that won't make money, and draw a line under it by either canning it or releasing it unfinished. If you admit that's what you're doing, then fine. But no publisher ever admits that. you always get sold the game as if it's completely done.
The game industry is pretty much the only industry in the world that gets away with that kind of bullshit. (largely because we, the gamers, let them.)
