I mean they did blow through their budget and left a game half finished. A game which sold worse than its predecessor (part of it due to corporate meddling seriously the whole "AuGmEnT YoUr PrEoRdEr" bullshit) with a budget of around apparently 70 million. Its clear the series was dead. It sucks and its hilarious they somehow failed to make a profitable avengers game but I guess by the time it released the hype around marvel's superheros was starting to wane.
