Disregarding the finances, 150 people spent eight years of their life on this. I don't think they were all just phoning it in and paying the bills. It probably stings more than a little bit.

Wasting a huge part of your life for your employer is what you get paid for if you have a job.

This might be hard for you to believe but some people actually want their work to be more than just an exchange of their time for money.

Yes, but on the other hand working on one game after another that are never released or flop spectacularly is not unusual at all in the games industry, especially in AAA (the long development cycle until the money stopped flowing is though).
