While many would find the game cancellation a saddening prospect, one should realize that this move could have larger indications of the state of CD Projekt and the rest of the hardcore development industry. Even after releasing the Witcher, which was a best-selling RPG for the years of 2007 and 2008, and opening the much-loved GOG.com (a digital hub for classic games) CD Projekt is having financial problems and is seemingly unable to sustain at least some of its projects. The same can be said for other developers and publishers, like THQ, Midway, Factor 5 and Free Radical (now Crytek UK), who were victims of unfortunate circumstances and are currently reeling from monetary problems that are only magnified by the global recession.
