It's like this in the gaming industry.

 EA is where games go to die.
 
 They killed off the Command and Conquer series.  Mass Effect will be no more.
 
There's also Square Enix that dropped development of the latest Hitman game. I do believe it is being picked up. They also ruined Just Cause.
 
 Part of it is developers probably didn't play the previous games and figured out what worked. 
 
 Call Of Duty and Grand Theft Auto always sell and they don't stray far from the formula.
 
 The worst development has to be in the gaming industry. Other industries like DAWs try to make the best use of resources.
 
 Most modern games are no longer under 30gb loaded with videos and require boutique systems to run some of them. Most of that is video card requirements.  The $300+ video card can be obsolete due to poor development in a few years.

    The difference is that gamers don't generally rely on the game companies products to make a living. Many of us use Sonar as a means of paying bills and putting food on the table.
