So if your plan for the game is not fun when you play it, you should just ship a turd sandwich?

Like any project, sometimes you have to drop the game and work on something else. Ideally using the assets you have from the failed game.

It's not an unusual tack to take even for regular software developers. Not all feature work. Smart folks will cut bait and focus on something that does.
