* The ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' franchise got killed off after the release of its fourth game of the main series, and that was only a few years after solid hits by the third games of both the main series and the ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert|Red Alert]]'' spin-off series. With [[Electronic Arts|EA]] having so many other [[Cash Cow Franchise]]s at the time ''Tiberian Twilight'' came and tanked, there's little possibility they would give the franchise another chance now. |

* EA Sports' ''NBA Live'' series was renamed ''NBA Elite'' for the 2011 year. However, the game's demo was so awful that they yanked it and cancelled the game weeks from release (as well as the 2012 edition). It didn't help that their primary competitor, Take Two's ''NBA 2K11'', is widely considered one of the best sports games of all time. |
