Non-indie games too; think Daikatana, Anthem, Babylon's Fall, Duke Nukem Forever, Shenmue, etc; all high budget, high marketing budget titles but ultimately flops.

To be fair, now that we got a chance to play a leaked (and reconstructed) version of the Unreal DNF build... If this game came out in 2001 it would absolutely be a top tier legendary title. It's tragic that they didn't finish it when they should have. It had nothing to do with marketing. Just plain old fucking up.
