It cost $400M and took 8 years to make. They made a secret lair before the game even came out. If anything it had too much support from higher ups. The devs and the leaders were bad, and thats why the game failed.
Their game flopped because the higher ups didn’t support it and then immediately shut it down when it didn’t take off day 1, how is that the devs fault? You have a major misunderstanding of how games are produced.
