So I was just watching this video on the development of Superman 64 and how it mentions that due to some nasty corporate politics, it seemed as though WB was deliberately hampering Titus' progress on developing the game. Got me thinking about whether this is a recurring phenomenom in the industry.
We have another infamous incident from the final days of GRIN, when after the huge commercial flop of Bionic Commando, the company was in dire financial trouble, and were betting everything on their Final Fantasy spinoff project they had contracted from Square-Enix. But after seeing the performance of Bionic Commando it seemed as though Squenix got cold feet and tried to weasel their way out of the deal, not paying development milestones and sending ludicrous requests like asking them to fax over the game's source code and assets.
Any other notable instances of these things you can think of?
