Still baffles me that they're contractually obligated to finish that and not a game that people have already shelled out money for.

Yeah they'll get refunded for episodes 3 and 4, but they'll still have paid $10 for a literally unfinished game.

It's not difficult to get. They had a contract with Netflix saying they must finish this game or be sued. With the consumers there is no contract. Just a transaction of money that can be returned.

I don't understand how bad this company was run when only three of their games turned a profit. Did they pay for the license for these franchises or we're they paid to make a game for the license? They must have paid for the license, because that's the only reason these games should not have made a profit. Because if Disney is paying you to make a game, they would probably give you enough money to make a profit on it.

Which begs the question... Why the fuck did you buy the license for all these franchises? Did they buy them because they didn't make money on anything and thought if they got a hot new property they could?

I'm just blown away at how they never considered ways to make money after they blew up to so many employees and so many projects they were working on instead of keeping a small staff of people to finish one project at a time.
