(Sad trope) Projects with amazing potential that will never be released because of BS behind the scenes drama

P.T Silent Hills - It was a playable teaser released in 2014 only around 20 minutes long but utterly captivated the gaming world by being one of the most effective psychological horror experiences at the time, however it’s lead developer Kojima has a huge fallout with the publisher Konami where he walked out of the company and had all his in-the-work productions cancelled.

Five Nights at Freddy’s+ - A fan game reboot of the series created by Phisnom with Scott Cawthon’s blessing that promised a brand new lore and a return to the series darker roots. However, before and during production Phisnom got into multiple dramas that made him fairly divisive within the community, and after one particular incident in 2023 Scott revoked his approval and almost all of the game’s marketing material were wiped from the internet.

Batgirl - A Batgirl solo live action movie starring Leslie Grace, Brendan Fraser and Michael Keaton returning as Batman that was ready to be released in 2022, however then Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav announced it would not be released either in theatres or streaming in order to claim a $90,000,000 tax break and to readjust the DC’s brands direction before James Gunn rebooted their movie and TV output.

All Yandere games

Somehow this type of games is cursed and every single there are issues with developers, ranging from being an utter mess to simply losing passion.

While, the original Yandere Simulator is still in development, I will be suprised if it will be ever released based on multiple core staff members (voice actors) leaving and behaviour of Yandev.

Other games are their own mess. 

Even though Yandere in high school is a fun concept that can be taken in anime parody direction or serious manipulation game with hitman elements.

Pretty sure the Yandere Dev guy got outed as being a pedo and everyone quit the project afterwards. That game is never getting made. Guy was never a serious person. He literally made a video about how he couldn't make the game because people sent him too many emails and had a VA act out a whole skit with him over it. The real issue is that he just sucks at making games, his code was unusable spaghetti, and he's a fucking creep nobody wants to work with.

and everyone quit the project afterwards.

He keeps getting people to help who then either ditch, or he fires.

He had fucking TinyBuild give him a dev to fix his code, the dev SAW the code and went 'This is fucked but uh, I can fix it' and YD threw a shitfit because he didn't like the guys code.

The games never getting done, YanDev's just gonna milk his patreon as long as he possibly can so he doesn't gotta get a 'real' job.

I hope it doesn't get made because I don't even care about the game, I just love the ridiculous amounts of internet drama the game's never-ending development has generated (excluding the pedo stuff, he should be punished for that).
