Line 128:
* ''Ultima IX'' basically destroyed Origin Systems. [[Electronic Arts]] dropped all support for it during production and still demanded they release the extremely buggy version on time, then they cancelled all of Origin's future projects when the game bombed, eventually causing Richard Garriott to leave the company. EA shut down Origin in 2004.
* ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning]]'' was a modest hit for 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, selling just over 1 million copies since its release in February 2012, but financial troubles meant they had to reach 3M in sales<ref>according to Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee</ref> in order to cover development and loan costs. As a result, 38 and BHG [http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/24/3041662/38-studios-lays-off-entire-staff laid off their entire staff], effectively dissolving both companies and leaving a planned ''Amalur''-based MMORPG (tentatively titled ''Copernicus'') in limbo.
* ''[[Dead Rising|Dead Rising 4]]'' was so bad and so negatively received it was not only a [[Franchise Killer]], it led to [[Capcom]] closing its Vancouver chapter.
