Remember Amazon's videogame, Crucible? They dumped tens of millions into its first real videogame, which was legitimately poised to redefine hero shooters with a lot of interesting features, and then they shut it down a few months later?

It was very rough and unpolished and confusing, but had a lot of cool ideas. They axed the game in a few months. I also feel very vindicated for saying "this game is going to die" and r*ddit*rs saying "no" and then the game dying. I feel bad for the devs, since this sounds like mismanagement. 4
