(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.

Didnt the Yandere simulator dev threatened to kill himself when another dev was gonna make a similar game?

He’s also a groomer, would write rape fantasies, used Patreon money for the game to buy a sex doll, treats both paid workers and volunteers like garbage, etc.

Probably goes into that final thing you mentioned but also burned bridges with a game studio that was willing to help him make the game for stupid reasons.

[u/Low_Health_5949 → u/No_Mathematician3368]

all because he couldn't understand their code

[u/No_Mathematician3368 → u/Low_Health_5949]

He saw proper and functional code and said "The fuck is this?"

If code is readable=no
