Why I was able to buy Too Human for $10

The first game in a planned trilogy, Too Human was supposed to usher in a new era of "we print our own money" fiscal reports for Silicon Knights. The previews were overly optimistic about the soon to be blockbuster game. Everyone who was lucky enough to see the game in action thought it would be the biggest thing since Diablo on the PC. The developers welcomed the comparisons, hyping up gamers with talk of character upgrades, weapon/armor trading, and online Diablo-like goodness.

What could possibly go wrong?
