Video games have become more ambitious over time, as developers try new things and the technology allows for new ideas to become a reality. But sometimes, that ambition can be the game’s downfall, whether it is due to a larger scope than what the devs are capable of making, a mismatch in what players want, or a big technical investment that requires far more resources than expected.
